What is ERGauge
A viewer for the open web — free, for everyone
ERGauge is a free web viewer for public Instagram profiles. It gathers stories, posts and pinned highlights of any open account into a single full-screen feed — no app, no account, no login. Your visit never appears in view counts or story audiences.
Under the feed you get the profile analytics platforms keep hidden: engagement rate, average likes, posting frequency and per-post dynamics — calculated live from open data, with no limits and no paywalls.

Features
Everything you need to see more

A responsive gallery with previews, reaction counts and instant card view. Videos are marked and play with sound.

Highlights open in the same viewer as regular stories — the whole history of a profile in one place.

Engagement-rate analytics
Engagement rate, average likes, posting frequency and comment activity — computed from open data, free for everyone.

Original-quality downloads
Save any public story or post to your device in source quality — one tap, no watermarks, photos as JPG and videos as MP4.
06
Five languages
The interface switches between English, German, French, Italian and Russian. Elegant dark theme by default.

Built for people who work with content
★★★★★
I check competitor stories every morning in five minutes — I used to keep a burner account for this and still showed up in their viewer lists.

★★★★★
Analytics right under the feed is what was missing. Engagement and posting cadence are visible at a glance — no spreadsheet exports.
Content studio producer
★★★★★
Highlights opening in the same viewer as stories is a small thing that saves a ton of clicks. It’s faster than the app itself.

FAQ
Common questions
Will the profile owner know I watched?
No. Viewing happens through ERGauge, not your account — no login to the social network is required, so you never appear in viewer lists or story audiences.
Do I need an account to use ERGauge?
No. Type a profile name and watch. There is nothing to register for — every feature is available to everyone, instantly.
Is ERGauge really free?
Yes, completely. The viewer, downloads and full profile analytics are free with no limits, trials or hidden paid tiers.
Which Instagram profiles can I view?
Any public profile. Private accounts are off-limits by design: ERGauge only works with data the owner has made publicly available.
What does the Download button do?
It saves a public story or post to your device in original quality — photos as JPG, videos as MP4. Please respect copyright when using saved media.
Where does the engagement-rate analytics come from?
We compute it from publicly visible posts — likes, comments and posting cadence. No private metrics and no scraped personal data are used.
