Version 1.4.0

See how often your sites are read and your apps downloaded.

Visitron runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and keeps a daily record for every website you run: how many people read its pages and how many times the GitHub releases it offers were downloaded. Both figures, side by side, over days, months or a year.

Free and open source for Windows, macOS and Linux. It only reads your figures; it never changes anything on GoatCounter or GitHub.

The Visitron window: the list of websites with page loads and downloads for each and a Statistics button at the end of every row, divided by a rule from the selected website's charts of page loads and downloads per day.

Made for people who publish

You run websites. Some of them offer an application through GitHub releases. GoatCounter counts the page loads; GitHub counts the downloads of each file. The two never meet: neither keeps a trend of downloads, neither knows which site goes with which repository. Visitron brings them together in one window, one row per website.

How it works

Add a website once. After that it looks after itself.

1

Add your website

Type its address. Visitron reads the site, lists the GitHub repositories it links to and ticks the likely ones. Tick the ones whose downloads belong to it; type one in by hand if the site never names it.

2

It checks for you

While it runs (in the tray, on Windows) it checks every website once a day by default. Set it to check as often as every hour or as rarely as once a week. Press Refresh whenever you want the figures now.

3

Read the trend

Pick 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or a year. Each website charts its page loads and downloads per day; its Statistics button opens the downloads by repository, release and platform, with its visitors by country beside them. World visitors puts every website's visitors together on a map of the world.

Page loads need GoatCounter. Put GoatCounter's tag on each page you want counted, then enter your GoatCounter account name and API key in Settings. The Guide in Visitron's Help menu walks you through every step.
