Umami has quickly become one of the most popular open-source, privacy-friendly analytics tools. Simple to set up and lightweight to run, it offers a great alternative to Google Analytics for anyone who values speed and data ownership.
Now, with Umami v3 on the horizon, users can expect some big improvements—ranging from custom dashboards to enhanced tracking options. Let’s take a closer look at what’s coming.
Custom Dashboards: Analytics Your Way
One of the most requested features is finally arriving: custom dashboards. Instead of relying on predefined layouts, you’ll be able to build dashboards that display the exact metrics you need. Whether you want to focus on conversions, UTM data, or user engagement, Umami v3 puts you in control.
This flexibility makes it easier to track what matters most and share insights with your team.
Enhanced Tracking with Links and Pixels
Umami v3 also expands the way you can track data. New link tracking and pixel-based tracking options provide more precise insights into user behavior.
This means better campaign attribution, clearer performance metrics, and more reliable data collection across different environments.
Cleaner Reporting and UI Improvements
Analytics can get messy, but Umami v3 is working to keep things simple. Key updates include:
- Standalone reports for UTM parameters and other detailed data.
- Unified filters across different views for faster deep dives.
- A cleaner, more intuitive UI for navigating reports.
These changes make it easier to find insights without digging through clutter.
Attribution Reports and Distinct Session IDs
Attribution is one of the trickiest parts of analytics, but Umami v3 is tackling it head-on with a new attribution report. This will help you better understand which channels drive traffic and conversions.
Alongside this, distinct session IDs are being added—giving you more accurate session tracking, while still respecting user privacy.
Tracker Attributes for Customization
For developers, Umami v3 introduces tracker attributes. These let you tweak tracking behavior before data is sent. Want to add custom properties, filter out unwanted events, or adjust payloads? Now you’ll be able to do it natively inside Umami.
Building on v2.19.0
Before v3 arrives, Umami v2.19.0 already sets the stage with useful upgrades:
- CSV export for easier offline analysis.
- New database tables for revenue reporting.
- Custom event property views with both chart and table modes.
This release ensures the transition into v3 will be smooth and future-ready.
Final Thoughts
Umami v3 is shaping up to be the most powerful version yet, bringing flexibility, cleaner reporting, and more advanced tracking features. For businesses, developers, and marketers looking for a lightweight but capable analytics solution, it’s another big reason to choose Umami.
