About Signal
Analytics that shows what changed and whether it matters — without watching people.
Why Signal exists
Most analytics tools are built for advertisers. They track individuals across sites, build profiles, and sell attention. That model creates perverse incentives: more tracking means more data, which means more value extracted from users who never consented to being products.
Signal takes a different approach. We believe you can understand your product without surveilling your users. You can measure growth without fingerprinting. You can see what's working without knowing who clicked what.
Signal exists because analytics should be a tool for building better products, not a mechanism for surveillance capitalism.
Guiding principles
Privacy is non-negotiable
We don't store IPs. We don't use cookies. We don't fingerprint browsers. We don't create user profiles. These aren't features — they're constraints we design around.
Clarity over complexity
Every metric should answer a question. If a number doesn't help you make a decision, it's noise. Signal shows what matters and hides what doesn't.
Honesty in defaults
We don't hide bot traffic to inflate numbers. We don't use vanity metrics. We show you what's actually happening, even when the truth is uncomfortable.
Your data, your infrastructure
Signal is designed to be self-hostable. You can run it on your own servers, own your data completely, and never depend on our availability.
About AckerWorx
AckerWorx builds platform tools for developers and teams who care about doing things right. We're not a startup chasing growth at any cost. We're engineers building the tools we want to use.
Signal is one of several AckerWorx platform products. Each one is built with the same philosophy: solve real problems, respect users, and make software that's boring in the best way — reliable, predictable, and trustworthy.
We don't have a sales team. We don't run growth experiments on you. We build tools, document them well, and let the work speak for itself.
Who Signal is for

Developers
Who want a lightweight, API-first analytics tool that doesn't bloat their pages.
Anyone tired of consent popups
Signal requires no cookie consent because it doesn't use cookies.
