What Amplio is
Amplio is an open-source, self-hosted product analytics platform for teams that want to analyze user events on infrastructure they control. It supports event exploration, segmentation, funnel analysis, retention, cohorts, user lookup, saved charts, and dashboards. Its ingestion API mirrors Amplitude's HTTP V2 contract, and the project says existing SDKs and event schemas can be ported with minimal changes. Browser and Node SDKs are listed, along with the /2/httpapi and /batch ingestion endpoints.
Amplio stores event data in ClickHouse and uses Postgres or SQLite for metadata, depending on deployment. The self-hosted setup uses Docker with Caddy; a desktop app runs the analytics stack locally without Docker. Desktop installers are listed for macOS on Apple Silicon and Intel, as well as Linux AppImage and deb formats. The desktop documentation describes local ClickHouse and embedded SQLite storage, with events remaining on the user's machine. The project is MIT-licensed and listed as free, with no stated usage limits. It describes the software as early and moving quickly; session replay, experimentation, marketing attribution, alerting, and warehouse sync are later roadmap modules. Desktop builds are unsigned, so macOS Gatekeeper warns on first open.
