Patreon
Your patron count, monthly revenue, and membership health, visible on your iPhone home screen the moment you look at your phone.
See your creator business without opening a browser
Patreon creators tend to check their numbers constantly: after a video drops, after a Patreon post goes out, after a membership push. PulseKit puts those numbers on your iPhone home screen so the information is already there when you reach for your phone. The Overview module surfaces Patron Count and Monthly Revenue as charts you can trend over time, plus Active Patrons, Declined Patrons, New Patrons in the last 30 days, and Churned Patrons in a single glance.
Catch payment failures and churn before they compound
Declined Patrons and Churned Patrons are the two metrics most creators ignore until the damage is already reflected in their revenue. When Declined Patrons appears next to your Active Patron count every time you check your phone, a payment spike becomes visible the day it starts rather than at month-end. Churned Patrons gives you a running count of cancellations so you notice when a content gap or format shift is costing you members while you still have time to act.
A fast feedback loop between publishing and growth
New Patrons (30d) tells you whether content published recently is converting new supporters. Combined with the Patron Count chart, you can see whether a growth period is holding or flattening without logging in anywhere. PulseKit fetches data on demand so the numbers reflect your current state whenever you check. The widget is scoped to one campaign at a time, keeping the display focused on the membership you are actively managing.

Security
How we protect your credentials
PulseKit connects to Patreon using OAuth. You authenticate on Patreon's own login page, Patreon returns a short-lived access token to our TLS callback, and you never type a password into PulseKit. Tokens are stored server-side scoped to this device. We ask for the minimum scopes needed and never share them with another device or another app. Refreshes happen automatically without you re-entering credentials, and tapping disconnect inside PulseKit deletes the token immediately so this device can no longer reach Patreon.

Who uses this
- Video creators
After uploading a new video or sending a Patreon-only post, you want to know within hours whether it drove new patrons. Having Patron Count and New Patrons (30d) on your home screen means you get that signal without opening a tab, so you can judge whether a content format is worth repeating before you commit to it again.
- Podcasters
Monthly Revenue is the number podcasters watch when deciding whether to invest in editing, guests, or equipment. Seeing it alongside Active and Declined Patrons on your home screen keeps your real income visible at all times, not just on the day you remember to log in to Patreon.
- Indie artists
Churned Patrons is a leading signal that your posting cadence or content mix is shifting in the wrong direction. Tracking it passively on your home screen means you notice a cancellation trend weeks before it becomes a revenue problem, giving you time to reconnect with your audience.
- Newsletter writers
When a newsletter issue is your main acquisition channel, New Patrons (30d) tells you which issues convert readers into paying patrons. Pairing that with the Patron Count chart in a home screen widget gives you a lightweight growth dashboard without a separate analytics tool.
FAQs
What Patreon metrics can I see on my iPhone home screen?
PulseKit shows six metrics from your Patreon campaign: Patron Count, Monthly Revenue, Active Patrons, Declined Patrons, New Patrons in the last 30 days, and Churned Patrons. Patron Count and Monthly Revenue include charts so you can see trends over time. The remaining four are current-state counts updated on demand.
How does PulseKit connect to my Patreon account?
PulseKit uses OAuth. You authenticate on Patreon's own login page, never inside PulseKit itself, and Patreon returns a short-lived access token over a secure connection. Your Patreon password is never entered into or stored by PulseKit. The token is scoped to this device only and is deleted the moment you disconnect.
Can I track multiple Patreon campaigns in PulseKit?
Each widget is scoped to one campaign, which you select during setup. If you run more than one Patreon campaign, you can add a separate PulseKit widget for each one and point each at a different campaign. Each widget then displays that campaign's patron count, revenue, and membership metrics independently.
How often does PulseKit update my Patreon data?
PulseKit fetches data on demand, pulling fresh numbers when you view your widget or open the app. Data is retained for 30 days, which is what powers the historical trend charts for Patron Count and Monthly Revenue.
What does the Declined Patrons metric show?
Declined Patrons shows active patrons whose most recent payment attempt failed. These are supporters who have not cancelled but whose payment could not be processed, often due to an expired card or insufficient funds. Watching this number lets you spot a payment failure spike early, before it is reflected in your Monthly Revenue total.
Does PulseKit store my Patreon password?
No. PulseKit never sees or stores your Patreon password. Authentication happens entirely on Patreon's login page via OAuth, and only a device-scoped access token is stored on PulseKit's servers. That token is deleted immediately when you disconnect the integration inside the app.
How do I remove PulseKit's access to my Patreon account?
Tap Disconnect inside PulseKit and the access token is deleted from PulseKit's servers immediately. PulseKit will no longer be able to fetch data from your Patreon account. You can reconnect at any time by going through the OAuth flow again from the integration setup screen.
