Expo analytics

Analytics for Expo apps, without a warehouse.

Rove is product analytics for Expo. Install @rovestudio/react-native, wrap the root layout, and sessions start on their own. The dashboard shows people, visits, and what they did — not a dump of raw events.

Create a free workspace Read the docs @rovestudio/react-native

Made for Expo Router

Wrap the root layout once. Rove records session start plus app foreground and background. Add rove.screen on the screens you care about.

A key that can only write

The Expo env var is a write-only ingest key. It cannot read your Rove workspace. That is the right shape for a mobile binary.

A dashboard people understand

DAU, visits, and friendly event names. You can still send purchase or invite_sent when you want a custom moment.

Questions people ask

How do I add analytics to an Expo app?

Create a Rove workspace, make a mobile app, then run npx expo install @rovestudio/react-native @react-native-async-storage/async-storage. Set EXPO_PUBLIC_ROVE_KEY and EXPO_PUBLIC_ROVE_HOST=https://rovestats.com and wrap the root layout with RoveProvider.

Does Rove work with Expo Router?

Yes. Put RoveProvider in app/_layout.tsx. Call rove.screen when a route matters if you want named screens in the dashboard.

Is this a replacement for Amplitude or Mixpanel in Expo?

For many Expo apps, yes — if you want product analytics this afternoon, not a CDP. Large growth teams that already live in Amplitude can stay there.
