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 *don’t* 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 doesn’t 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 don’t 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 you’re 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
^ i’m not sponsored by these guys or anyone. i just love what they’re doing
will share more random stuff from MAU

Physics and sensors are here to stay
Peter Steinberger predicts that 80% of apps will disappear in the age of AI agents.
He argues that most apps simply manage data, something agents can do more naturally.
Tasks like tracking meals, setting reminders, or fitness planning can be handled passively by AI.
Users won’t care where data is stored; they’ll just want things done for them.
Only apps with direct physical functions (like sensors) may survive.

The missing data layer in app growth
As privacy-first rules reshape mobile marketing, app teams are being forced to rethink what data they can use — and how they use it.
🎙️ In this App Talk interview for @BusinessofApps , I spoke with Dieter Rappold, Co-Founder & CEO of @context_sdk , about why on-device contextual data is emerging as a critical new layer for app growth.
🎧 Tune in as we explore how motion sensors, charging state, time of day, and real-world behavior can be transformed into intent signals, improving engagement, retention, monetization, fraud detection, and lifecycle messaging, all while staying privacy-safe.
Dieter also explains how ContextSDK is evolving from monetization tools into a broader first-party data infrastructure for modern apps.

Paywalls need more than good copy. They need good timing.
We built something with @ContextSDK that helps with exactly that:
Show paywalls at the right moment using Superwall + ContextSDK.
Superwall already handles where and how you show your paywall:
- After onboarding.
- After saving content.
- After hitting a usage milestone.
ContextSDK adds the when. It uses real-world signals (like whether someone is moving around or sitting still) to help you:
- Avoid showing prompts at bad times.
- Show them when users are more receptive.
- Cut down on prompt blindness and fatigue.
The setup is straightforward. It's just one line of Swift to pass ContextSDK's score into Superwall.
Felix, from ContextSDK, put together a full guide with examples and code:
