About OP3

OP3 is a free, open-source podcast analytics service built around a download-measuring prefix. Podcasters put https://op3.dev/e/ in front of the episode file URLs in their feed, and OP3 counts the downloads — no signup or login involved, and existing prefixes can stay in place. Every measured show gets a free public stats page with industry-standard download metrics, breakdowns by app and geography, and spreadsheet exports covering full history. The numbers are published openly and listener privacy comes first: raw IP addresses are never stored, only a rotating secure hash.
