What it does
Aptabase's hosted analytics service provides event dashboards, live views, session timelines and CSV exports for mobile, desktop and web applications. SDKs cover frameworks such as Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, Electron and Tauri.
Aptabase keeps development and release events separate. The dashboard's bug/rocket control beside the date picker switches between the two; an orange ribbon marks Debug data. Supported SDKs select the build mode automatically, so development experiments stay out of the release view.
For a Swift app, register an account and copy the App Key from the dashboard's Instructions menu. Add the Aptabase Swift package in Xcode, initialize it with that key at app startup, then call trackEvent for the action you want to measure. The dashboard shows the events as they arrive. On macOS, the app sandbox must allow outgoing connections. Custom properties accept strings or numbers.
For example, send an export-completed event with a format property after an export succeeds. An event sent when the dialog opens would measure a different action. Aptabase only records actions the application explicitly sends.
