We built Grain because funnels don’t tell the whole story. Real users zig-zag. They loop, hesitate, bounce, and return. We wanted a way to see actual paths in real time—then change app behavior without a deploy.
What Grain is
• Tracks (real-time journeys): Map how users move from a start event to a goal. See paths, hubs (important steps), and the last step before drop-off.
• Remote Config: Flip variants and typed variables from the dashboard to tune UX—no redeploys.
• Fast Ingestion (SDK + REST): Lightweight web SDK with automatic batching/retries, and consent-aware delivery (no non-essential storage pre-consent in the EU/UK/TR).
• Overview (live): A real-time dashboard where new events stream in. See starters, converters, core metrics such as MAUs and new users, plus top events and trends.
• Built-in Database View: Query your raw events and curated views in a tenant-scoped database view. Filter by events, custom properties, timeframes, and more using our visual query builder.
Tracks is that view. It reconstructs journeys from any start to any goal and surfaces the moments that matter—dominant paths, the hubs where traffic concentrates, and last steps before drop-off. When you see something, you don’t have to ship code to test an update: remote config is built in, so you can flip variants and typed variables from the dashboard and watch the change land immediately in clients.
Why it’s different
• Truth over sketches: Tracks reconstructs actual routes—not just a static step list—so you catch loops, dead ends, and hidden shortcuts.
• Fast by default: Built with Cassandra and ClickHouse with performance and reliability as priority
What’s shipping today: real-time journey maps with hubs and abandonment, remote config (variants + typed variables) with cache-first fetch, consent modes and cookie controls, retention & deletion, the live Overview, and the read-only database view. It’s web-only at launch, by design—kept scope tight to make the core experience great. Experiments/A/B will come later; for now, remote config is about safe rollouts and fast tuning.
Where this goes next: a Matrices lens for 1D/2D pivots (e.g., conversion rate or time-to-goal by country, device, or campaign) with instant drill-through to Tracks, campaign cost import for ROAS, and deeper compare views. If you’ve got an opinion on which of these you’d use first, I’d genuinely love to hear it.
If you try the demo, I’m happy to help set up your first Track for your own app. Thanks for taking a look at Grain—and for any feedback on what feels clear, what doesn’t, and what you wish existed here. 🙌
This looks awesome! Real-time path tracking + instant config changes without redeploys sounds like a huge time saver. How it performs on high-traffic apps?
Congrats Eray, this nails the gap between funnels and reality. Love the real time Tracks view, hubs and last-step drop-offs, and the built in remote config for safe rollouts. Privacy ready is a big plus. Excited to try the demo and set up a first track. Mobile SDK soon?
Really interesting approach, Eray! 👏
I can immediately see the use case: spot a funnel break (e.g., 60% drop at checkout), drill into Tracks, realize mobile users on iOS 18 are hitting a bug, flip a remote config to show a simplified flow for that segment—all without touching code or waiting for app review.
That feedback loop is what most analytics tools are missing. They tell you WHAT happened, but not HOW to fix it quickly.
Question: Does the remote config support gradual rollouts? Like "enable variant B for 10% of users, then ramp to 50% if metrics look good"?
Excited to see where this goes! 🔥

Who hunted Grain?
Grain was hunted by Eray Ocak. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
