• Session recording:watch videos of your users' behavior, with fine-grained filters and privacy controls
• Heatmaps: see where users are using your product with thePostHog 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 asexperiments and get automatic significance calculations
• Correlation analysis: discover what events and propertiescorrelate with success and failure

• Complete control over your data:host it yourself on any infrastructure
• Import and export your data: import from and export to the services that matter to you withapps
• Ready-made libraries: we’ve built libraries forJavaScript,Python,Ruby,Node,Go,Android,iOS,PHP,Flutter,React Native,Elixir,Nim, and anAPI for anything else

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 ourhandbook.

This repo is available under theMIT expat license, except for theee directory (which has it'slicense here) if applicable.

Needabsolutely 💯% FOSS? Check out ourposthog-foss repository, which is purged of all proprietary code and features.

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