In an era dominated by mobile apps, desktop applications remain vital across numerous industries. From gaming to enterprise solutions, tracking desktop app performance, user behavior, and feedback is crucial. While mobile tracking is a well-established practice, companies also need to pay more attention to the importance of desktop tracking.

A cohort is a group of users that share certain event together for a certain period of time (for example: users who make payment for the first time in the last 30 days, or added 7 friends in the last week). In other words, a cohort is a group of people with similar behavioural characteristics. Cohorts let you group your users based on their actions, such as who performed add to cart event in the last 7 days but didn’t perform checkout event. List of users who belong in a cohort is automatically kept up-to-date, and you can segment funnels, retention, user profiles, flows and drill data based on cohorts you create.
