Google Analytics on Your Dashboard
There are still existing issues for Leopard users. Sorry for the delays. After the iPhone SDK announcement a version may be possible, although I don’t have an iPhone to test on. There’s a new video. Please let us know about any bugs. There is a list of issues in the changelog . There is a major bug for all non-English account holders. Issue has been raised to The Google.
Dashalytics is a free Dashboard Widget for your Apple Mac that offers quick access to Google Analytics statistics.
Dashalytics will work with any Mac running OS X 10.4+ specifically using the Dashboard functionality built into Tiger. You also need a Google Analytics account (downloading Dashalytics pointless if you don’t).
You can easily have multiple widgets open to track statistics on multiple sites. Dashalytics also uses the Keychain to securely store your password.
Dashalytics was inspired by Widsense, Mint (which is well worth checking out as an alternate to Google Analytics) and Sparks!. It is based on similar code to TanTan’s Google Analytics plugin for Wordpress and uses Keychain plugin from Scue. Dashalytics 3.0 uses Prototype a tooltip by Nick Stakenburg and a glider by MissingMethod .
You can also see Dashalytics 3 in action with this short movie .
You have created the most useful Dashboard widget I’ve ever seen: Dashalytics!

If I had thought of and programmed this first, I’d have charged money for it… it’s THAT useful.

Not only is the UI nice and simple but it pretty much gives me the info I’m most interested in on an on-going basis. I no longer really have a need to log in to Google Analytics on a regular basis.

I’m not a huge fan of widgets, but occasionaly I come across one that thar really impresses me. Dashalytics is an impressive widget. It makes Google Analytics data instantly accsessible and easy to read, which is my favorite use of widgets. Anyone who uses Google Analytics and has a Mac will find this widget addicting.

Because Dashalytics is a cool widget that puts your Google Analytics stats right in the Dashboard (to make the obsession even easier). You can even use multiple instances of Dashalytics to multiple websites.

It really is useful – in fact so useful I’ve now re-activated Dashboard after 6 months of not using it. It’s good to be back in Dashboard.
