What is new in ZenStat
We released a major ZenStat update for Zen creators who want to track channel, publication and competitor statistics in one app.
The main change is the new dashboard. It shows channel totals, audience and view trends, quick insights, top publications and important changes after each refresh. This makes it easier to understand where a channel is growing, which posts performed better and what needs attention.
ZenStat now includes publication history: you can view posts by day, evaluate post performance and open a weekly digest with the best and weakest results. Comparing multiple channels is easier too - ZenStat helps compare your own channels and competitors by subscribers, publications, views, comments and content format.
Alerts, Premium and a refreshed design
Smart alerts notify you about important events: view spikes, new comments, competitor posts and inactive channels. Premium also unlocks extended analytics, unlimited comparison, full publication history, the weekly digest, background updates, iCloud sync, widgets and an ad-free mode. Premium is a one-time purchase, with no subscription.
ZenStat also has a more modern interface: a refreshed design, light and dark themes, improvements for iPad and Mac, a Premium widget, background data refresh and iCloud sync for added channels.
Under the hood, this update moves purchases to StoreKit 2, adds a Core Data cache and updates the project for Swift 6. This makes the app more stable, faster and better prepared for future development.
To start, add a Zen channel short name or id. ZenStat will collect the key metrics: audience, subscribers, publications, views, read-throughs, watch time and comments. You can manage several channels, mark your own and competitor channels, compare trends quickly and see what changed after each update.
