# CogniStats — Server Analytics Without the Surveillance

Understand your Discord community better, without spying on your members. 
CogniStats tracks server activity: anonymized, EU-hosted and no message content.

## What you get

- **Activity heatmap** — See at a glance when your server is most alive. 
  A 7×24 grid shows day-of-week and hour-of-day activity.
- **Channel ranking** — Which channels are thriving, which are dead? 
  Includes unique-user counts so you can tell a real hub from a spam channel.
- **Member tracking** — Growth and churn over time, without identifying 
  individual users.
- **Voice statistics** — When are your voice channels used, and for how long?
- **Web dashboard** — Log in with Discord, all your data in one place. 
  Mobile-friendly.

## What makes us different

🔒 **Anonymized from day one** — User IDs are hashed with argon2id and a 
per-server salt before they ever touch our database. We can't reverse-engineer 
who posted what. Not even us.

🇪🇺 **EU-hosted** — Servers in Germany. No US cloud, no third-country data 
transfer, GDPR-compliant by design.

🚫 **No ads, no tracking on our website** — We're funded by the premium tier, 
not by your data.

## Plans

- **Hobby (free):** 30-day data retention, all core charts
- **Community (€5/month):** 90-day retention, per-channel filters, 
  data export
- **Pro (€12/month):** Unlimited retention, period comparisons, API access

## Setup

1. Click **Add to Server**
2. Pick your server and confirm permissions
3. Open your dashboard at cognistats.de
4. Data starts flowing immediately — give it a few days for meaningful charts
