A lightweight, self-hosted alternative for side projects and early-stage startups.
Most early-stage products have the same blind spot: users leave, but you don’t know where they got stuck.
The obvious fix is session replay-until a simple debugging tool becomes another growing SaaS bill based on traffic, seats, and recorded sessions.
I built TraceUX for the stage before enterprise analytics: side projects, small teams, and startups that need answers without another huge recurring cost.
TraceUX records lightweight DOM events, stores them on your own server, and runs in just a few steps on a small VPS. No data warehouse. No multi-service stack. No per-session pricing.
Just install the binary or Docker container, add a small snippet to your website, and start seeing what real users actually did.
