Game Insights
Game Insights is a free, open-source analytics app for indie game developers and other game teams.
What Game Insights is
Game Insights is a free, open-source analytics app for indie game developers and other game teams. It runs as a self-hosted web app and stores imported data locally in the browser. You can bring in CSV, TSV, JSON, NDJSON, Excel, SQLite, URLs, clipboard text, or folders through file, URL, clipboard, or folder imports. The app detects game type and maps columns with AI-assisted analysis. Its analytics include metrics, funnels, cohorts, anomalies, recommendations, monetization analysis, and reports. Separate screens cover AI Analytics, Funnels, Monetization, Dashboard Builder, Games, and Settings. OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama can be configured as providers; without an LLM provider, local pattern-based analysis is used. Built-in sample datasets represent puzzle, idle, and gacha RPG games. Running it locally requires Node.js 18 or later, pnpm, and the pnpm dev command. The repository links an MIT license.
