The 5 numbers Notch Metrics reads from PostHog
- Active usershourly, daily, weekly and monthly · sparklinePeople with at least one event in the window, de-duplicated. The headline counts each person once across the whole window, so the bars do not add up to it: one person on three days is one user and three bars. Days are your PostHog project's timezone, so the figures match its own dashboards.
- New usersdaily, weekly and monthly · sparklinePerson profiles PostHog first created in the window. Anonymous visitors who are never identified do not create one, so this counts people PostHog can tell apart rather than every first visit.
- Eventshourly, daily, weekly and monthly · sparklineEvery event recorded in the window, of every name.
- Pageviewshourly, daily, weekly and monthly · sparkline
$pageviewevents in the window. Repeat views by one person all count. - Sessionshourly, daily, weekly and monthly · sparklineDistinct
$session_ids seen in the window. The headline de-duplicates across the whole window, so a session spanning midnight is one session and two bars.

Your PostHog credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider. Our server calls PostHog 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

- How do you connect PostHog to Notch Metrics?
- Sign in to notchmetrics.com, choose PostHog and paste your key. Settings → Personal API keys. Needs the Query Read and User Read scopes.
- Does the Notch Metrics Mac app hold my PostHog key?
- No. Our server calls PostHog and hands your Mac a normalised number. Your PostHog credential is encrypted with its own key, bound to your account and the provider, so a row copied anywhere else does not decrypt.

- 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. PostHog counts as one of the connectors on every plan.
- Is the PostHog connector ready to use?
