You can use Mixpanel's Funnels report to measure the average time spent on your app per day. Based on the knowledge sources, there are a couple of approaches to track session length or time spent:
Using Time to Convert in Funnels
Mixpanel's Funnels report offers a "Time to Convert" measurement that can help you analyze how long users spend in your app:
1. Create a funnel with relevant events that represent app open and close (or other meaningful events) 2. Select "Time to Convert" as your measurement 3. Choose an aggregation method like "Average" to see the average time between events
As mentioned in the community post, this is a recommended approach by Mixpanel team members for calculating average session length: Getting a gut check on setting up average session length.
Using Session Events
Another approach is to use Mixpanel's Sessions feature, which automatically computes session duration:
1. Each Session event comes with a "Session Duration (seconds)" property 2. You can use aggregations (sum, average, 90th percentile, etc.) to study time spent per session 3. Filter by date to analyze daily patterns
As explained in the documentation: "Each Session event comes with a 'Session Duration (seconds)' property, which is computed by Mixpanel and indicates the amount of time spent during the session." Sessions: Compute sessions based on existing event data
To specifically get the average time per day, you would: 1. Set your date range to the period you want to analyze 2. Group by day in your analysis 3. Use the average aggregation on session duration
This will give you insights into how much time users are spending in your app on a daily basis, which you can then use to optimize your product experience.

kapa.ai Average number of sessions per user per day - how do I get this?
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! 📚
To calculate the average number of sessions per user per day in Mixpanel, you can use the Insights report with the Session Start event. Here's how to set it up:
1. Go to the Insights report 2. Select "Session Start" as your event 3. Change the measurement from "Unique Users" to "Total" to count all sessions 4. Create a formula to divide by unique users
In more detail:
Using Insights with Sessions
In Insights, you can use the "Session Start" event to track session metrics. As mentioned in the documentation, "When you select sessions in Insights, you will be viewing total session counts, rather than uniques or totals." Sessions Controls in Reports
Here's a step-by-step approach:
1. Add "Session Start" as your first event with "Total" measurement 2. Add a second query for any common event with "Unique Users" measurement 3. Create a formula dividing the first by the second (Sessions/Users) 4. Group by day in your date settings
This will give you the average number of sessions per user for each day.
Alternative Approach with Frequency per User
You could also use the "Frequency per User" measurement:
1. Select "Session Start" as your event 2. Change the measurement to "Frequency per User" 3. For the aggregation option, select "Average" 4. Group by day
This approach directly calculates how many sessions were performed per user, which is exactly what you're looking for.
Both methods will help you understand user engagement patterns by showing how frequently users are opening your app each day.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need any clarification.
