Product analytics and optimization

  • Event-based analytics: capture your product's usage automatically, or customize it to your needs

  • Data visualizations: create and share graphs, funnels, paths, retention, and dashboards
  • Session recording: watch videos of your users' behavior, with fine-grained filters and privacy controls
  • Heatmaps: see where users are using your product with the PostHog Toolbar
  • Feature flags: test and manage the rollout of new features, target specific users and groups
  • A/B and multi-variate testing: run simple or complex changes as experiments and get automatic significance calculations

Contributing

We <3 contributions big and small. In priority order (although everything is appreciated) with the most helpful first:

Philosophy

Our mission is to increase the number of successful products in the world. To do that, we build product and data tools that help you understand user behavior without losing control of your data.

In our view, third-party analytics tools do not work in a world of cookie deprecation, GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and many other four-letter acronyms. PostHog is the alternative to sending all of your customers' personal information and usage data to third-parties.

PostHog gives you every tool you need to understand user behavior, develop and test improvements, and release changes to make your product more successful.

PostHog operates in public as much as possible. We detail how we work and our learning on building and running a fast-growing, product-focused startup in our handbook.

Open-source vs. paid

This repo is available under the MIT expat license, except for the ee directory (which has it's license here) if applicable.

Need absolutely 💯% FOSS? Check out our posthog-foss repository, which is purged of all proprietary code and features.

Using premium features (contained in the ee directory) with a self-hosted instance require a PostHog license. To learn more, book a demo or see our pricing page.

We’re hiring!

Come help us make PostHog even better. We're growing fast and would love for you to join us.
