MetriBee

MetriBee is a free, open-source, self-hosted dashboard for the GA4 data you already have. Start one Docker container on a laptop, home server, Raspberry Pi or small VPS, add a read-only service account, and open every GA4 property on one calm screen. There is no new tracking script and no event database of your own—Google stores the events; MetriBee is a small stateless process. The multi-property home offers Cards, Status, Table and Heatmap views with CSV export and optional AdSense earnings. Realtime uses the GA4 Realtime API for every property, with spike detection and a live 3D globe. Funnels, journeys and retention are built on GA4 native funnel reports, page paths and first-visit cohorts. Reports include Overview, Pages, Events, Journeys, Retention and Funnels with click-to-filter and period comparison. Search Console metrics can sit beside GA4. Embed widgets, share revocable private dashboards, query via MCP at /mcp, stay inside GA4 API quotas, and press P to blur site names. Demo: docker run --rm -e DEMO=1 -p 127.0.0.1:5483:5483 ghcr.io/nexmoe/metribee:latest. MIT backend; AGPL-3.0 frontend adapted from Rybbit. Why it exists: GA4 already stores your events for free; MetriBee replaces the interface and keeps the storage. No analytics warehouse to pay for, no ClickHouse or PostgreSQL to maintain, and no migration—years of history appear on day one, and stopping MetriBee leaves data in GA4. Compared with Rybbit, Umami and Plausible CE (public docs, October 2026), MetriBee runs as one Node process with no event storage on your server, keeps your existing GA4 tag, and adds multi-site layouts, spike detection, a live globe, retention cohorts, embeddable widgets and MCP. Others win on session replay, web vitals, owning raw events, or cookieless tracking. FAQ: do not change your tracking script; data stays in GA4 with short-lived caches; DEMO=1 works without Google (8 fictional sites); no built-in login—use localhost, Cloudflare Access or Tailscale.

Frequently asked questions (from the live site FAQ): Do I need to change my tracking script? No. MetriBee reads the GA4 properties you already have through a read-only service account. Keep your existing GA4 tag. Where is my data stored? In GA4, as it is today. MetriBee has no event database of its own. It keeps short-lived report caches to stay inside GA4's free API quota. Can I try it without a Google account? Yes. Demo mode generates data for 8 fictional sites. Run the Docker image with DEMO=1 and open http://localhost:5483. When should I use Rybbit instead? If you want tracking that is entirely your own: a first-party script, every raw event on your servers, cookieless analytics, session replay, web vitals and error tracking. MetriBee is for people who already have GA4. Does MetriBee have a login? No. Everything in one shell: every report comes from your GA4 properties through the GA4 Data and Admin APIs. Search Console and AdSense are optional extras. Clean reports cover Overview, Pages, Events, Journeys, Retention and Funnels with click-to-filter, period comparison and keyboard shortcuts. Search Console clicks, impressions, CTR and position sit next to GA4 metrics in the same tables. Widgets and share links provide embeddable cards and badges from GA4 metrics plus revocable private dashboards. The MCP server at /mcp lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other assistants query your GA4 and Search Console data. Report caches and per-property quota guards keep you inside GA4's free API limits. Privacy mode lets you press P to blur site names and URLs before you share your screen. Hosting and cost message from the site: there is no analytics server to pay for event storage because Google stores and queries the events; MetriBee is one small stateless process that runs on hardware you already have. Nothing to maintain means no ClickHouse or PostgreSQL to tune, back up, upgrade or resize, and no disk that fills up as traffic grows. No migration means years of GA4 history show up on day one, and if you stop using MetriBee your data is still in GA4. Three-step get started copy from the homepage: (01) Run one container — start MetriBee with Docker on a laptop, a home server, a Raspberry Pi or the smallest VPS you have. (02) Connect GA4 — add a read-only service account; your existing GA4 tag and years of history stay exactly where they are. (03) Read every site at once — open one calm screen for all properties, then click into realtime, funnels, journeys and retention.
