Microsoft Clarity is an open-source behavioral analytics library written in TypeScript that tracks DOM mutations and user interactions to generate session replays and heatmaps. It powers Microsoft's hosted Clarity product and emphasizes privacy (data masking) and performance.

Use cases

  • record and replay user sessions on my website
  • generate heatmaps of where users click and scroll
  • understand how users navigate and interact with my site
  • self-host behavioral analytics with privacy masking
  • debug user experience issues by watching real sessions
  • capture live user interactions with a browser devtools extension

When to choose

  • you need privacy-first session replay and heatmap analytics you can inspect or self-host
  • you want the same instrumentation code that powers Microsoft's hosted Clarity product
  • you need lightweight client-side tracking that works across modern browsers and devices

When to avoid

  • you need a turnkey hosted dashboard with AI insights - use clarity.microsoft.com instead of the raw library
  • you need server-side or backend analytics rather than client-side user behavior
  • you need full-featured product analytics like funnels and cohorts out of the box - the open-source repo provides instrumentation, decode, and visualization packages rather than a complete platform
