Neusiedlersee, 2 days & way too many sticky notes.
Our product/tech team got together by the lake to brainstorm, ideate and shape whatโs next for ContextSDK ๐
We also went go-karting in 38ยฐC heat. Fun, but would not recommend at temperatures that high... ๐ฅต
Where users open your app and where they actually engage are usually two different places. Most monetization treats them as one moment.
The June newsletter is out ๐
53% of push notifications land while the phone is flat on a table. Nobody's watching.
Same message. Different moment. 2-3ร open rate gap.
The sensors already know the difference. Most apps aren't asking.
Users in calm contexts are 46% more likely to reach a detail view after searching than users on the go. Your app doesn't know which one it's talking to.
@Apple shaped the mobile world we build in today. Weโre excited to help shape what comes next.
So when @Alex_Reinicke_ asked us to support a last-minute ๏ฃฟ WWDC watch party in Vienna, the answer was an easy yes!

And yes - people literally lay on the floor to test us!
Crazy Shit I Saw At MAU Vegas 2026
the two COOLEST vendors I spoke with:
ContextSDK -
this project is so cool. install their SDK in your app, and you will be able to know if your user is sitting/standing/walking/on train/in bed. you can use this to serve conditionally shorter/longer onboarding, different pricing, or even to *time your push notifications* for when a user is actually on their phone. i tested it in person, saw it working accurately in real time. literally laid down on the floor and it worked perfectly. many potential use cases
Day30 AI -
do you optimize your paid ads for a start_trial conversion event? do you get shitty leads that *donโt* convert to paid because of that? well imagine you only sent the start_trial event IF your user does some in-app activity that makes them more likely to pay
for example, imagine CalAI only sending Meta the start_trial event if the user doesnโt cancel + tracks three meals in their first 24 hours. rather than sending Meta the start_trial event for users who cancel/never track. this is what Day30 does, you just give them access to your Mixpanel api
but also, you donโt arbitrarily choose the in-app activity that triggers your event. i believe Day30 constantly monitors the behaviors that make someone more/less likely to convert and creates a probabilistic model tailored for your app. so youโre not *guessing* at what activity makes people likely to convert, you are by default optimizing for the *true* activity that makes people likely to convert
^ iโm not sponsored by these guys or anyone. i just love what theyโre doing
will share more random stuff from MAU
@ereniroh This made our day @ereniroh ๐
Really great meeting you at MAU - and thanks a lot for the kind words ๐ Excited to bump into you again at the next one!
Best MAU Vegas hack? Host breakfast on Day 1.
Everyone signs up for endless side events - but early ones win. People show up fresh, focused & ready to connect (free coffee helps ๐)
Huge thanks to @AddictmobileUA , @edge_226 & @Startiai ๐
Meet us Booth K8 โ๏ธ #MAUVegas
What if your app knew whether users are sitting, walking or commuting right now?
Would you still send the same push, show the same paywall or serve the same ad?
Our CEO @Sierralog explains why timing changes everything.
