Hey everyone,

I started using Ghost a little over a month ago, and honestly, it made me excited to write again. I really like the interface, the flexibility, and how easy it is to publish without getting distracted by everything around it.

After a while, I noticed I kept opening the Ghost analytics page to check how my site and newsletters were doing. Traffic, newsletter performance, members, revenue, all the usual things you start obsessing over once you publish regularly.

I run a small app studio called fruitful apps, where I’ve built 10+ apps, mostly to solve my own problems. So naturally, I thought: why not build a better mobile analytics experience for Ghost?

That’s how Haunt was born.

Haunt is an iOS app for Ghost publishers that brings your analytics to your iPhone in a more mobile-friendly way. You can check your site overview, web traffic, newsletters, subscriber growth, revenue, and individual post performance from one place.

It also supports multiple Ghost sites, so you can switch between publications quickly. And because I apparently can’t build an app without widgets, Haunt also includes Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for keeping an eye on key metrics.

My usual approach with apps is to build the first version around the problem I personally have, then shape the roadmap based on feedback from real users. I’d love to hear what you think, especially if you use Ghost and have ideas for features that would make analytics easier to check on mobile.

I have been a beta tester of this app since a few weeks. As always, Mert made a great work. It’s much easier and fun to track your Ghost website insights with iPhone (+iPad and Mac) widgets. I strongly suggest every Ghost publisher (using an iPhone) to give it a try.

Bonus: Synaps Media customers will find a generous discount code on our panel! Thank you @mert! 😊

Does it work if you’re on Ghost Pro, @mert? I’m unable to get in for [https://www.philsimon.com/](https://www.philsimon.com/).

Hey @philsimon! I’ve just created a trial account on [ghost.org](http://ghost.org) and it works as expected. Is your plan Publisher or above?

I’m also on the Ghost(Pro) Creator/Publisher plan, and when I tried out Haunt a couple of months or so ago it worked fine. Just checked, and it still works fine.

@philsimon Staff Api Key you give to Haunt should rely on an account with Administrator or Owner role. Can you confirm that? Other roles don’t have access to analytics.

@mert Hopefully this helps. It’s really not that big of a deal. I was just curious.

I think you need to use [phil-simon.ghost.io](http://phil-simon.ghost.io) as your website, since Ghost API always works on [ghost.io](http://ghost.io) domain on Ghost(Pro) websites.

No, I was unable to get around the error message. It’s not a big deal.
