The problem it solves#
Mobile retention work often depends on third-party engagement SDKs that run campaigns, prompts, and experiments from a vendor dashboard. That can add cost, privacy concerns, and another dependency inside the app.
OpenClix takes a more source-first approach by centering engagement rules around configuration and app-owned logic. Product and engineering teams can shape retention behavior while keeping more of the implementation visible and controllable.
How it solves it#
Config-driven engagement rules
OpenClix uses configuration to define mobile engagement behavior, helping teams update retention logic without scattering it through app code.
On-device logic orientation
Running engagement decisions closer to the app can reduce reliance on a heavyweight remote campaign engine.
Open-source retention tooling
Teams can inspect and adapt the engagement layer instead of treating it as a black-box SDK.
