We built an open-source tool to recover lost leads from abandoned forms
Hey everyone 👋
Today I’m launching Trakg, an open-source tool that helps you recover leads who abandon your website forms before submitting.
We noticed a common problem: many users start filling forms (signup, demo request, checkout, contact forms) but leave midway. That means high-intent leads are lost without any visibility into why they dropped off.
Trakg solves this by capturing partial form data in real time, so you can:
- See where users abandon forms
- Understand friction points
- Recover high-intent leads
- improve conversion rates
Example
If a user starts filling a demo request form and leaves after entering their email but before submitting, Trakg securely captures the partial data. This helps you follow up or identify which fields cause drop-offs.
Why open source?
Most existing tools are expensive, complex, or closed ecosystems. We wanted something: lightweight, privacy-conscious, easy to integrate, transparent
and developer-friendly
So we built Trakg to work with any website using a simple script, no major backend changes required.
Who is this for?
- SaaS founders
- Marketers running paid traffic
- agencies optimizing funnels
- developers building forms
- Indie makers trying to improve conversions
I’d love feedback on:
- Use cases you’d want supported
- Integrations we should prioritize
- privacy considerations
- onboarding experience
If you want to try it or contribute, I’d really appreciate your thoughts!
Also, I’m looking for contributors interested in:
- improving tracking reliability
- building integrations (React, Next.js, WordPress, etc.)
- analytics dashboards
- privacy & compliance improvements
- docs and examples
- SDKs and plugins

If you’re interested in open source, analytics, SaaS, or growth tools, I’d love your feedback or contributions.
Even small contributions, ideas, or feature suggestions are very welcome 🙌
Thanks 🙌
Form abandonment sounds obvious until you actually measure it. Most SaaS signup and demo forms lose 60-70% of people who start them. That's a huge pool of people who were interested enough to begin.
The use case I'd prioritise first: checkout abandonment where you can capture email + what they were trying to buy. Not just 'someone left' but 'this person started the Pro plan checkout and dropped at step 2'. A generic 'you left something behind' email gets ignored. 'You were looking at the Pro plan, here's what's included' is a completely different conversion conversation.
One thing you'll hit early with B2B buyers: privacy questions around partial data capture, especially in the EU. GDPR compliance on data you captured before consent was given is a grey area. Worth having a clear answer ready before anyone asks. That's the objection that will stall enterprise deals.
