We’ve been striving to offer richer and more robust analytics on the current and historical state of your app. Essentially we’re offering a bird’s eye view to help you ship and patch with confidence. Historically the console has been structured around the operation of what you want to do in the Shorebird console: manage a release, ship a patch, or run administrative tasks for your organization. This provided a fragmented, not a holistic experience. Mission Control puts your application at the center no matter what task you’re trying to achieve. Want to know what patches are in flight? How about if it’s safe to sunset a release? Details on the version adoption, app size, or build performance? All those answers can be found in Mission Control. Maybe you’ve been stitching this data together across various data sources or putting this work off for another day. The new Mission Control tab provides data on the health of your app and the status of patch rollouts. Historical views into how your releases have trended over time can still be found in the Insights tab. ![](/_astro/missioncontrol.CX7Q-r05_17SnrF.webp) ## At-a-glance situational awareness Mission Control is the new default view when you open an app, helping you definitively know whether the changes you’re pushing out are getting applied. Previously you had to look at patch installs, correlate that with MAU data from other sources, and infer that everything was running smoothly. The Live Rollout card surfaces this information immediately, giving you that extra confidence without correlating data from multiple sources. ![](/_astro/situationalawareness.Bc-SBEsh_Z1YKCJk.webp) And for those occasions when something doesn’t go quite right with a patch, there’s a big ’ol rollback button in the Live Rollout card for patches, reducing the number of clicks needed to revert a bad patch. Coming soon you’ll also see patch install failures on this card, making it even more actionable. ## Confidence in your patches When you’re urgently trying to fix a critical issue and want to instantly know it’s been resolved as quickly as possible, patch coverage meters show you just that. You don’t have to watch patch installs to know the fix is in place. ![](/_astro/patchconfidence.B1K0-xzs_2mDhL4.webp) ## Understanding your fleet Mission Control provides aggregate data in addition to per-platform data. You don’t need to install a separate analytics tool, or roll your own, to get comprehensive measurements across both platforms. View MAUs and DAUs in aggregate or per platform to better understand traffic shifts and user adoption. ![](/_astro/activityheatmap.D23I1B7s_Z23e28G.webp) Combine that with per-version release distribution and you’ll know it’s safe to sunset an old release. ![](/_astro/situationalawareness.Bc-SBEsh_Z1YKCJk.webp) While we roll out Mission Control, all of its analytics are available for free to everyone. We’ll introduce pricing later. If you haven’t logged into the console for a while, take a look and let us know what other insights you want to see in Mission Control. ## More from the blog [All posts](/blog) * Product updates Oct 30, 2026 2 min read ### [Orgs at Shorebird just got better](/blog/orgs-at-shorebird-just-got-better) Shorebird now has one kind of organization.
