cloudline is live. analytics without cookies.

29 days ago i started writing about a tool i was building. today you can install it. i'm om yaduvanshi, 18, an applied ai developer. i built cloudline, a cookieless analytics tool. this is day 30 of 90, and it's launch day. what ships today one script tag, under 2kb. no cookie banner, because there is nothing to consent to. a pageview stores four things: page, referrer, screen size, time. nothing…

An 18-year-old applied AI developer named Om Yaduvanshi has launched a new analytics tool called Cloudline, which operates without the use of cookies. This is day 30 of 90 since the tool's initial development, and today marks its official launch. The installation process requires only one script tag, weighing less than 2kb, and does not require a cookie banner or any user consent.

The tool collects four specific pieces of data: the visited page, the referrer, screen size, and the time of the visit. Cloudline groups all AI chatbot sources into a single category and calculates engaged time, scroll depth at multiple percentages, and button clicks per page. Additionally, it presents a funnel view without any configuration required, and provides a live visitors dashboard to track activity across up to 50 sites in one screen.

The tool's key differentiator is its commitment to transparency and honesty. It does not collect cookies, IP addresses, user-agent information, or perform fingerprinting. If the tool cannot collect certain data, it displays an error message instead of generating fabricated numbers. The website clearly outlines what is not currently shipped, such as revenue attribution, countries, operating systems, browsers, and core web vitals, following a "no invented data" approach.

Currently, revenue attribution is planned for future release, but all other features are live and available for use. The project aims to be free during its early access period, requiring no card information. Interested users can access the tool at https://trycloudline.space.
