What changed, and when
Customer-visible changes to the SDKs, the dashboard, pricing and this site, newest first. SDK versions are also published as GitHub Releases on appglance-apple and appglance-android, each with its own changelog.
How to read this. Dates are the day a change reached the live service or a release was tagged. Internal work (infrastructure, billing plumbing, refactors) is left out unless you can see it from outside.

SDKs
- Swift SDK 1.0.0 released. iOS 16, macOS 13, tvOS 16, watchOS 9 and visionOS 1 and up;
about 200 KB compiled on iOS, no third-party dependencies. Swift Package Manager:
https://github.com/AppGlance/appglance-apple. - Kotlin SDK 1.0.0 released and published to Maven Central as
app.appglance:appglance:1.0.0. Android 5.0 (API 21) and up; an 83 KB AAR with one AndroidX dependency. Sessions and "active right now" are automatic; nothing to attach to activities. - Both SDKs are MIT licensed and keep a changelog in their repositories.
Dashboard
- Live mode updates in place. On paid plans the Overview, the live count and the feed now change as events arrive, without a refresh. Presence pings power "active right now" and are never billed.
- Delete your account yourself. Security → Delete this account removes the account, its apps and their data. No email required.
- The privacy-label generator in Setup now asks whether your metadata carries personal data, and warns when an event name looks like it carries a value.
Pricing
- Yearly plans: $49, $149, $399 and $999 a year for Indie, Studio, Scale and Max, about two months free against monthly. Monthly prices unchanged: free to 100,000 events, then $4.99, $14.99, $39 and $99.
- Changing plan mid-month keeps the month's event count; it does not start over. Written down on the pricing page.
Site
- Comparisons with Firebase Analytics, TelemetryDeck and Aptabase, each with the other tool's SDK measured the same way as ours and its privacy label written out.
- A troubleshooting guide (every error the ingest API returns, and why events do not show up), a migration guide from Firebase and TelemetryDeck, and an llms.txt index for AI coding agents.
- Pricing got its own page. This about page and this changelog.

Launch
- appglance.app goes public. The hosted dashboard opens for sign-up: apps and write keys, the live Overview, the feed, users and their stories, funnels, retention, sessions, versions, countries, CSV export, alerts through ntfy, Discord and signed webhooks, and the Setup wizard with generated App Store and Google Play privacy answers.
- Free tier: 100,000 billable events a month, up to 20 apps, every dashboard feature, no credit card.
- The site: the quickstart with a paste-in prompt for AI coding agents, the SDK reference, the live demo on sample data, the free App Store privacy label tool, the privacy-first iOS analytics guide, and the privacy policy, terms of use and DPA.
