Do Indie devs use analytics?

Hey all, I am trying to make a game, but before that, I just wanted to know—do indie developers use any kind of analytics software to track their games? Or is it just "vibes"? 
What should I do?

Itch actually displays analytics from the Dashboard.

You mean like the traffic stats on itch.io / your own website, or in-game telemetry?

I mean what about I want to take this game to app stores? then are there any recommendations for analytics tools?

Yeah, the itch analytics are worth looking at, especially where the clicks are coming from.  One project included a link to one of my games and was a good source of hits for a while.
