StudioDash Overview

StudioDash is a developer analytics and business dashboard from BarkinMad Studios, designed for independent developers and small studios who want a clearer view of their apps and the business behind them.

It brings supported information from the services you already use into one native workspace, helping you spend less time moving between dashboards and more time understanding what is happening across your portfolio.

StudioDash is designed for solo developers, independent creators and small studios managing apps, games, websites and the services needed to support them.

It becomes particularly useful as your portfolio grows. What is easy to check for one app can quickly become fragmented when several apps, advertising networks, analytics services and websites are involved.

• Independent app and game developers.
• Solo developers running their own app business.
• Small studios managing several products.
• Developers using multiple analytics, advertising and website services.

StudioDash brings supported App Store information together so you can monitor multiple products from one workspace. Follow app and release status, downloads, sales, ratings, reviews and other available information without checking every app individually.

Viewing your apps as a portfolio makes it easier to compare performance and decide where your development or marketing attention may be most useful.

App revenue can be spread across sales, purchases, advertising and other services. StudioDash brings supported revenue information together so you can see a wider commercial picture instead of comparing several provider dashboards manually.

Explore revenue over different periods, understand the contribution of supported sources and put your results into the context of the goals you have set for your studio.

Your website, search visibility and analytics can be important parts of growing an app portfolio. StudioDash can bring supported website and search information into the same workspace as your app and revenue data.

This makes it easier to keep an eye on how your wider online presence is performing without treating it as a completely separate part of the business.

StudioDash works with supported developer, advertising, analytics, website and search services. You choose the integrations that are relevant to your studio and StudioDash brings their useful information into a consistent workspace.

Provider dashboards remain available for specialist account management and configuration. StudioDash focuses on giving you a convenient view across those services.

On Mac, StudioDash can keep supported provider information updated in the background. Instead of beginning every check-in by refreshing several services, useful information can already be available when you return to the dashboard.

You remain in control and can request fresh information manually whenever you need it. StudioDash also keeps provider health visible so you can identify connections that may need attention.

StudioDash is designed around the reality that independent developers are also running a business. Downloads and traffic are useful, but they do not tell you whether your apps are generating enough revenue or moving towards your goals.

By bringing commercial information alongside app and audience performance, StudioDash can provide a more useful starting point for deciding where to spend your time, development effort and marketing budget.

StudioDash is designed around Free, Pro and Studio plans. Free provides the essentials for monitoring your studio, while Pro and Studio provide additional analytics, reporting and business capabilities for developers who need more detail.

An optional Cloud service can extend StudioDash with supported cloud capabilities where available.

StudioDash connects to services that can contain important business information. Security and privacy are therefore treated as core parts of the product.

You choose which supported services to connect, and StudioDash is designed to handle credentials and provider access carefully while keeping the status of those connections visible.

The StudioDash guides explain each part of the product in more detail, from dashboards and App Store analytics to revenue, integrations, reporting, synchronisation and security.
