feat: record which apps people use each day - #1505
Daily active users are one number today, so we can't tell which app people use. Fathom can't answer it: it has no notion of an app and can't see the native apps. This records the apps each signed-in person uses each day, and charts people per day per app on the Growth page.
Daily active users, retention and what counts as "seen" don't change.
Changes
Data:user_active_days gets web_app, native_mobile_app, mac_app and other_app. It stays one row per person per day, and existing rows count as web.
Attribution: web routes are web. On the API, devices.app_id ending in :com.nativephp.devnull is mobile, a DevNull-Mac user agent is Mac, and everything else is other (terminal app, /commit script, GitHub Action).
Recording:UpdateUserLastSeenAt used to stop at the first request of the day, so it now runs one more statement per counted request. It only writes the first time an app is seen in a day, and otherwise neither writes nor locks the row.
Chart: "People by app" uses lines, because someone using two apps counts in both and stacked bars would add up to more than daily active users. A rule marks the first day a non-web app shows up, which is read from the data so no date needs setting at merge.
Export: each active_days entry becomes {date, web_app, native_mobile_app, mac_app, other_app}, and schema_version goes to 7.
Docs:PRODUCT_METRICS.md, KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md and the privacy policy, with its effective date set to 6 November 2026. Adjust the date if this merges later.
New columns
Why the feature can't work without them
Nothing else records which app was used on a day
Who can see them
Admins as aggregates, and the person in their export
When they are deleted
With the account
Decisions
From the interview on the handoff:
Where does the Mac app count? In its own mac_app column.
How is the NativePHP app recognized? First answer: a new header in the app. Then, once it turned out the app already sends app_id: devices.app_id alone, to try it, and revisit if other reads too high. iOS and Android aren't told apart.
How does the chart show it? Three lines at first, four with the Mac app.
What does the export say for days before tracking? As stored, so web_app: true even for someone who only used the phone.
Settled along the way:
Tracking start: derived from the data rather than a constant.
Bots: left out of the chart.
No new index: the table is small and only this admin page reads it this way.
Visual evidence
Local site with seeded data, Chromium. The chart is new, so "before" is the same page without its panel.
Before, 1440×900, light
After, 1440×900, light
1440×900, dark
Hover after tracking started, dark
Hover before tracking started, light
1366×650, light
1366×650, dark
7 days picked, tracking started before the range
Tracking not started yet, all web
390×844, light, emulated
390×844, dark, emulated
Range longer than the data, 90 days, hovered
Three days missing, dark
Days with no neighbour, light
Layout shift at 1440×900: 0 on first load and on picking a range, before and after. Hovering reports up to about 0.009, all of it the tooltip overlay following the pointer. No content moves, and the existing LineChart tooltip does the same.
Device verification
Viewport and touch emulation in Chromium only. I booted an iPhone 17 simulator, but local sign-in in Safari kept redirecting to /sw.js, so the admin page was never reached there. In emulation at 390×844, a tap shows no tooltip, a horizontal drag does, and a vertical swipe scrolls the page, as with LineChart.
Limitations
Mobile reads low, other high: phones approved before the app sent app_id have none, so they count as other until approved again. How many is unknown, as I have no production data access. To fix it later, the app can identify itself on each request.
No Mac backfill: nothing stored says which app was used on a past day, so tracking starts at deploy. That first day is mixed, as people seen earlier that day already have a row saying web.
Deploy window: rows inserted by old code after the migration have no flag until that person's next request, so they count in no app that day. Retention and active users don't read the flags.
Lite app: it counts as web until it gets its own column.
Before captures: missing for 1440×900 dark and for 390×844. Before only differs by the panel's absence.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
The product metrics page now includes a “People by app” chart showing daily usage across web, mobile, Mac, and other apps. Users active on multiple apps count in each applicable category, and the chart marks when app tracking began.
Data exports now include per-app activity flags for each active day, with the export format updated. Days before app tracking began are represented as web usage; phones approved before mobile app identification began are represented as other.
Documentation
Updated privacy information to describe app-usage data collection and how earlier activity is represented.
The application now classifies and records daily activity by app, reports per-app usage in operations metrics, and includes app flags in active-day exports. Privacy text and metrics documentation describe app tracking and its historical boundary.
Changes: Per-app activity tracking and reporting
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Classify and record per-app activity database/migrations/*, app/Enums/ActiveDayApp.php, app/Http/Middleware/UpdateLastSeenAt.php, app/Actions/UpdateUserLastSeenAt.php, tests/Feature/LastSeenTest.php, tests/Feature/UserActiveDaysMigrationTest.php, tests/Unit/Enums/ActiveDayAppTest.php, resources/js/pages/privacy/show.tsx, resources/js/lib/legal.ts, PRODUCT_METRICS.md
Daily activity rows now store web, native mobile, Mac, and other app flags. The request classifier identifies the app category, and the recording action sets the corresponding flag. Tests cover classification, recording, and migration behavior. The privacy text and metrics documentation describe app tracking.
The query returns daily counts by app and the earliest non-web tracking date. The controller returns the data as appUsage. Tests cover counts, date bounds, and bot exclusion.
Display the People by app chart resources/js/components/operations/charts.tsx, resources/js/pages/operations/metrics.tsx, resources/js/layouts/operations/layout.tsx, PRODUCT_METRICS.md
The operations metrics page displays web, mobile, Mac, and other counts in a multi-line chart. The chart marks tracking start and the current partial day. It also provides hover details and an accessible table.
Export active days with app flags app/Actions/CreateExport.php, tests/Feature/Controllers/ExportControllerTest.php, KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md
The export schema advances to version 7. Each active-day entry now contains a date and four app flags instead of a date string.
This change records which apps people use each day and charts them on the Growth page. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains. The known limitations are documented: older phone approvals count as other, and there is no Mac backfill.

each usage point is placed by its date within the full selected range, rather
than by its index in the activity-only days array; preserve gaps for omitted
