Does PostHog have a mobile app?
· By Klaus Siebeneicher
PostHog’s own mobile offering is for collecting data, not for viewing it. As of September 2026, PostHog’s documentation lists SDKs for tracking your own iOS, Android, React Native and Flutter apps, but no native app for looking at your dashboards. To check PostHog on your phone, you open the web app in a mobile browser or use an independent client such as MobileHog.
That distinction trips people up, because searching for “PostHog iOS” mostly returns SDK documentation. The PostHog iOS installation guide, for example, shows how to send events from your app, not how to read them on your iPhone.
Option 1: PostHog in the mobile browser
PostHog’s web app works in Safari and Chrome on a phone. You sign in as usual, and everything is there.
What it’s like in practice:
- It works for a quick look. A single insight on its own page is readable.
- Dashboards are cramped. They are laid out for a wide screen, so tiles shrink or stack in ways their creator didn’t plan.
- Tables and pie charts suffer most. Wide tables scroll sideways, and pie charts become hard to compare at phone size.
- No native comforts. No pull to refresh, and the sign-in lives in the browser session rather than the Keychain.
For an occasional check this is fine, and it costs nothing.
Option 2: a native client like MobileHog
MobileHog is a native app for iPhone and iPad and Android that signs in to PostHog and shows the data you already have:
- your dashboards, with every tile type: HogQL tables and charts, trends, funnels with breakdowns, retention and text tiles
- web analytics: visitors, page views, sessions, bounce rate, top pages and referrers
- recent events, newest first
- errors, session replays (opened in the browser), feature flags, experiments, surveys, cohorts and annotations
Charts are redrawn for a phone rather than shrunk. Pie charts become ranked bars, stacked bars run sideways so labels get a full line, and you can drag across a line chart to read exact values.
It is read-only: every permission it requests ends in :read, and it has no servers of its own. Your data goes from PostHog to your phone and nowhere else. The security page lists every permission and the API behind it.
Which one should you use?
| Mobile browser | MobileHog | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free | Free, no subscription |
| Dashboards | Desktop layout, shrunk | Redrawn for the phone |
| Sign-in | Browser session | PostHog sign-in, token in Keychain or Keystore |
| Can edit | Yes, everything | No, read-only by design |
| Self-hosted PostHog | Yes | Yes, with a personal API key |
If you want to change things in PostHog, use the browser. If you mostly want to check things, a native client is faster and easier on the eyes.
What neither option does (yet)
Neither path gives you home screen widgets or push alerts on your phone today. MobileHog lists both as coming soon, without dates, on its home page.
