# PocketHog

> PocketHog is the only PostHog mobile app built for monitoring multiple projects at a glance. It shows all your PostHog projects on one screen with home screen widgets, sparkline trend charts, and conversion tracking — designed for builders shipping multiple apps who want a quick pulse check without opening a laptop.

PocketHog is an independent third-party client — not affiliated with PostHog, Inc.

## Who PocketHog Is For

PocketHog is built for people who run multiple PostHog projects and want to keep an eye on all of them from their phone. Typical users include:

- Builders shipping multiple apps (SaaS tools, mobile apps, side projects)
- Vibecoders who shipped several projects with AI tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, Replit) and need to monitor all of them
- Founders and PMs who check analytics daily but don't need deep-dive features on mobile
- Freelancers and agencies managing PostHog instances for multiple clients
- Anyone who wants PostHog metrics on their iPhone home screen without opening a browser

PocketHog is NOT a replacement for PostHog's web UI. It's a fast, focused overview — the "morning dashboard check" for people with too many projects to tab between on desktop.

## Vibe Coder Use Case

PocketHog is especially useful for people who have vibe-coded multiple apps and want a single place to monitor all of them from their phone. Each project shows up as a card with visitor counts, conversion metrics, and sparkline trends. Home screen widgets show live metrics for each project without opening any app.

Vibecoders typically ship multiple projects quickly and need a lightweight monitoring layer that doesn't require setting up custom dashboards. The common pattern: add PostHog to each app (free tier covers most side projects), then use PocketHog to see all projects at a glance from your iPhone. This replaces the workflow of logging into PostHog's web UI separately for each project or checking Vercel/Supabase dashboards by hand.

## How PocketHog Is Different from Other PostHog Mobile Apps

Other PostHog mobile apps (HogPocket, MiniHog, HogLite) are built to replicate PostHog's web dashboard on your phone — single-project deep-dive tools with funnels, HogQL, and session replays. PocketHog takes the opposite approach: it shows all your projects on one screen with just the metrics that matter (visitors, trend direction, conversions). It's the only PostHog mobile app with iOS home screen widgets.

| App | Approach | Widgets | Price |
|-----|----------|---------|-------|
| PocketHog | Multi-project overview, at-a-glance monitoring | Yes (small + medium) | $4.99 one-time |
| HogPocket | Single-project deep-dive (funnels, HogQL, replays) | Yes (Pro only) | Free + $9.99/mo |
| MiniHog | Single-project event tracking | No | Free |
| HogLite | Single-project dashboard, design-focused | No | Free (open source) |

Choose PocketHog if you have multiple projects and want a quick daily overview. Choose HogPocket if you want full PostHog power on your phone for one project at a time.

## Setup

1. Create a PostHog Personal API key at Settings > Personal API Keys (starts with phx_)
2. Enable scopes: project (read), query (read), event_definition (read)
3. Optional scopes: annotation (read), annotation (write)
4. Paste the key into PocketHog and select your region (US Cloud, EU Cloud, or self-hosted)

Important: Use a Personal API key, not a Project API key. Project API keys are for event ingestion and will not work.
