Vercel Analytics on your phone: the Lookout app

An app without an app store

Lookout is a progressive web app (PWA): it installs from the browser onto your phone’s home screen and then opens full screen, like any other app, with its own icon. There’s nothing to download from an app store and nothing to update; it’s the same Lookout you use on your laptop, laid out for a phone.

Install it

1. Sign in at lookoutstats.com on your phone.
2. On iPhone or iPad, tap Share in Safari, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, Lookout offers an Install button from your second visit; Chrome’s menu has Install app too.
3. Open Lookout from the home screen. It starts on your last board.

What’s in it

• Dashboard: the board’s totals and a card per site with the change on the previous period, filtered to all sites, movers, pinned or those failing Core Web Vitals.
• Boards: every board in the workspace, to switch with one tap.
• Settings: push alerts on or off for this device, the weekly digest, members, teams, appearance and the offline data the app keeps.
• From a board: share its read-only link with the phone’s share sheet, or add a note for today.

Push alerts

Turn on push in Settings and Lookout tells you on your phone when a site’s visitors drop or spike, or when one of your alert rules fires. When several sites move in the same check, you get one notification, not a stack. Tap it to open the board. On iPhone, push needs the app on the home screen first (iOS 16.4 or later). Alerts by email keep working either way.

Offline

The app keeps each board’s last data on the device. Open it on a plane or in a basement and you see the last figures, with a bar that says when they were synced and a Retry button. The offline copy is tied to your account: it is cleared when you sign out or when someone else signs in on the device, and you can clear it in Settings.
