Open source
SimpleDash is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. Read the code, see exactly what it does with your Google data, report issues and contribute.
SimpleDash is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. Every line that touches your Google data is public, so you don't have to take our word for what it does: you can read the code on GitHub.
Why open source
SimpleDash asks for access to your analytics. Being open lets anyone check that the access is read-only, that tokens are encrypted, and that no visitor-level data is stored.
What the license means
You can read, run and change the code. If you run a changed version for other people over a network, the AGPL asks you to share your changes under the same license.
The name "SimpleDash" and its logo aren't part of the license: please don't use them for your own version.
Report a problem or suggest something
- Bugs and ideas: open an issue in the GitHub repository.
- Security problems: email [email protected] instead of opening a public issue. See Data and security.
Contribute
Pull requests are welcome. The repository's README and CONTRIBUTING files explain how to run it locally. These docs live in the same repository, so you can fix a page with Edit on GitHub at the bottom of any page.
Self-hosting
SimpleDash is built to run simpledash.app. Self-hosting works but isn't officially supported yet: you'd need your own Google Cloud OAuth app, Stripe keys, an email provider and a server.

Data and security
What SimpleDash stores, what it never stores, how Google tokens and Stripe keys are protected, how backups work and how to report a security problem.
What SimpleDash can't do
An honest list of what SimpleDash isn't for: no tracking script, no per-visitor journeys or funnels, no changes to GA4, and no data that GA4 doesn't have.
