Traks

Cookie-free website analytics with live visitors and history in R2, installed into your account by a web wizard

The README says it runs on a Workers Paid plan and relies on Cloudflare Pipelines, R2 Data Catalog and R2 SQL, which it describes as open beta.

What it adds

It accepts requests from the Plausible tracker script and Events API when the script's data-api points at it, and it reports bot and AI agent traffic separately.
