About Liwan

Liwan is a self-hosted, privacy-first web analytics tool that shows your most-visited pages, traffic sources, and changes over time in a real-time dashboard. It runs as a single binary or Docker container with a built-in database, uses no tracking cookies, never records raw IP addresses, lets you configure exactly what to collect and retain, and supports single sign-on.
