OpenClix

OpenClix is a tool for mobile app developers who want to build user retention and engagement features without getting bogged down in infrastructure. It lets you create flows for things like onboarding nudges, streak reminders, and re-engagement prompts. The key is that all this logic runs directly on the user's device, based on a configuration file you control. You don't need to set up a backend server, a hosted control plane, or manage API keys for these core features.

It works by having you 'vendor' its open-source client code directly into your project's repository. You then connect a JSON configuration file to your app's events. When those events fire, OpenClix triggers rules locally to show notifications or in-app messages. The project is built with specific principles in mind: it's fully open-source under an MIT license, has zero runtime dependencies to avoid lock-in, and is explicitly designed to be legible and modifiable by AI agents, with clear interfaces and edit points.

This approach is most useful for indie builders or small product teams who want to ship engagement features quickly and maintain full ownership. It's also a solid foundation for agencies that need a reusable, predictable system across client projects. While OpenClix handles many common retention use cases locally, it's not a full-scale, hosted engagement platform with advanced analytics or cross-channel orchestration. It's for teams that value simplicity, control, and the ability to understand every part of their stack.
