Connecting Google Analytics, once, on the web
Sign in through the provider. No key is typed in anywhere.
The prompt asks for exactly this much:
- Read your Google Analytics reports
After authorising, you pick which property?.
Your Google Analytics credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider. Our server calls Google Analytics and hands your Mac a normalised number, so the Mac app never holds the credential. Remove the integration and the encrypted key is deleted with it.

Questions
- What Google Analytics numbers can Notch Metrics show?
- Notch Metrics reports 4 Google Analytics numbers: active users, new users, sessions and page views. Each one is a widget you place in the MacBook notch, sized from a single square up to the full width.
- How do you connect Google Analytics to Notch Metrics?
- Sign in to notchmetrics.com, choose Google Analytics and approve the prompt. Nothing is typed in, and every Mac on your account picks the connection up.
- Does the Notch Metrics Mac app hold my Google Analytics key?
- No. Our server calls Google Analytics and hands your Mac a normalised number. Your Google Analytics credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider, so a row copied anywhere else does not decrypt.
- What does Google Analytics in the notch cost?
- Every connector is included, with no per-integration charge. Notch Metrics is $9 a month or $49 a year, after a seven-day trial that needs no card. Google Analytics counts as one of the connectors on every plan.
