# PostHog charts

> Browse all PostHog product analytics charts in Chartcastr including DAU/WAU/MAU trends, growth accounting, event volumes, and pageview breakdowns.

Chartcastr supports **13 pre-built PostHog metrics** across four categories. Each metric is delivered with an AI-generated summary tailored to product analytics.

## Active Users

| Metric                         | Chart Type | Description                                                   |
| ------------------------------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Daily Active Users (DAU)**   | Line       | Unique users per day based on pageview events                 |
| **Weekly Active Users (WAU)**  | Line       | Rolling 7-day unique users                                    |
| **Monthly Active Users (MAU)** | Line       | Rolling 30-day unique users                                   |
| **DAU / WAU / MAU**            | Combo      | Combined chart showing all three active user metrics together |

<Note>
  **DAU / WAU / MAU** is the recommended starting metric — it gives a complete engagement picture in a single chart and pairs well with a daily or weekly Slack delivery.
</Note>

## Growth Accounting

| Metric                | Chart Type  | Description                                                           |
| --------------------- | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **New Users**         | Bar         | Users who performed the event and were created during the interval    |
| **Retained Users**    | Bar         | Users active in both the previous and current interval                |
| **Resurrected Users** | Bar         | Users inactive in the previous interval but active again              |
| **Dormant Users**     | Bar         | Users active in the previous interval but inactive in the current one |
| **Growth Accounting** | Stacked Bar | Combined chart showing all four lifecycle stages                      |

<Tip>
  The Growth Accounting chart is especially useful for product teams to understand whether growth is driven by acquisition (new), retention, or reactivation (resurrected) — and how much is lost to churn (dormant).

## Events

| Metric                    | Chart Type | Description                            |
| ------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------- |
| **Total Events**          | Line       | Total count of all events per day      |
| **Unique Users (Events)** | Line       | Unique users across all events per day |

## Pageviews

| Metric                    | Chart Type | Description                         |
| ------------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Total Pageviews**       | Line       | Total pageview count per day        |
| **Unique Pageview Users** | Line       | Unique users with pageviews per day |

## Custom

| Metric                    | Chart Type | Description                                                             |
| ------------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Custom Events Overlay** | Line       | Pick up to 5 events and overlay them as lines on a single shared Y axis |

<Note>
  v1 of the Custom Events Overlay uses a **single shared Y axis**. v2 will let you assign each event to a left or right axis so high-volume and low-volume events can share a chart cleanly.
</Note>

## AI-Powered Summaries

Every PostHog chart is delivered with an AI-generated summary specific to the product metric:

* **Active Users**: engagement trends, DAU/MAU ratio (stickiness), weekly patterns
* **Growth Accounting**: net growth signals, retention health, churn acceleration
* **Events**: usage volume trends, anomaly detection, correlation with releases
* **Pageviews**: traffic patterns, bot detection signals, feature adoption proxy
