stats.store: Privacy-First Sparkle Analytics

Read Original

The article details the creation of stats.store, a modern, open-source analytics backend for Sparkle app updates. Built to avoid invasive tracking, it collects only basic system info and usage stats (like macOS version and daily unique users via salted hashes) while explicitly excluding IPs, behavior tracking, and personal data. The developer used AI tools (v0, Claude Code) and a familiar tech stack (Next.js, Supabase) to build it in hours. It's offered free for open-source Mac apps.
