Bug Report Recorder Pro - Screen Recorder for Bug Reports

Capture bugs with video, console logs, and clean repro steps in one shareable HTML file ready for Jira, Linear, or GitHub.

Bug Report Recorder Pro turns a broken web session into a developer-ready report. Click Start, reproduce the issue, click Stop, and walk away with a portable HTML file that bundles the screen recording, console output, network calls, and a clean repro-step timeline. No account for the first report. No automatic upload. Ever. ### 🚀 Why developers love it "It is broken on staging" is not a bug report. Vague tickets cost more than the bugs themselves. This extension fixes the loop with one workflow that captures everything a developer actually needs: a video, the console, the network, and the steps that got you there. Hand the resulting HTML to Jira, Linear, GitHub, or Slack and skip the back-and-forth. ### ⚡ Everything in the free plan - ✓ 5 saved reports per month, full workflow, no account required - ✓ Tab, window, or full-screen recording with optional microphone, up to 10 minutes - ✓ Visible red border and timer so the recording state is always obvious - ✓ Console capture with severity tags (log, info, warn, error) and timestamps - ✓ Network capture (URL, method, status, timing) with bodies stripped by default - ✓ Auto repro-step timeline built from user actions during the session - ✓ Default PII masking: passwords, tokens, cookies, credit-card-like fields - ✓ One-click HTML export that opens in any browser without our service ### 🔓 What Pro unlocks - ✦ **Unlimited reports**: remove the 5-per-month cap so the tool scales to a daily habit - ✦ **Hosted share links**: short URLs with no-login viewer access and 30, 60, or 90 day auto-delete - ✦ **Jira export**: push the report, repro steps, environment, and console output into Jira in one click - ✦ **Linear export**: same one-click flow for Linear, with network attachments - ✦ **GitHub export**: open an issue in any repo with body, labels, and assignees pre-filled - ✦ **Custom masking profiles**: per-project regex rules layered on the defaults - ✦ **Multi-segment session replay**: bundle three clips and five screenshots into one report for intermittent bugs - ✦ **Format choice on export**: mp4, webm, or animated webp for the video ### 🎯 Who it is for QA testers, support teams chasing customer issues, PMs triaging beta feedback, agencies handing a client a way to file bugs, SaaS founders, and developers who want the console and network bundled in. If "send me a screenshot" shows up in your week more than twice, this earns its place. ### 🛠️ How it works 1. Pin the extension to your toolbar and click the icon 2. Pick Tab, Window, or Screen, toggle the mic, hit Start 3. Reproduce the bug while console and network capture run in parallel 4. Hit Stop; everything is bundled into one HTML file 5. Review and redact, then export locally or push to Jira, Linear, or GitHub on Pro ### 💡 Real use cases - → A QA tester walks through a regression on staging; the tool catches the failing AJAX call alongside the click that triggered it - → A support agent records a customer flow; the console capture surfaces a hidden 500 error the customer never mentioned - → A PM files a video for a flaky checkout, with network logs showing a third-party script timing out - → A founder sends a contractor a complete repro with steps pre-filled - → An agency lets clients file bugs; one click and the report lands in Linear automatically - → A frontend dev pairs it with DevTools open for a richer timeline - → A QA lead pushes a Jira ticket that already satisfies the "must include repro steps, environment, and console" rule ### 🔒 Privacy you can verify Recording is explicit and local-first. Nothing starts in the background, nothing auto-uploads, and nothing contacts our servers unless you tap Share on Pro. The masking pass strips passwords, Authorization headers, cookies, X-Auth-Token style custom headers, and credit-card-like patterns before export. The masking source is auditable in the unpacked extension. Manifest V3, no remote code, no analytics SDK. ### 📊 Performance and benchmarks Popup opens in under 50 ms. Console buffering runs at less than 2 percent CPU during a session, with under 50 MB of memory for a 5-minute clip. Video chunks write to IndexedDB every 2 seconds, so a tab crash loses at most 2 seconds of footage. A typical exported HTML is 4 to 12 MB for a 2-minute 1080p clip. Cold start to first-frame-recorded is under 800 ms. ### 🆚 Why this over the alternatives - ✓ Versus Jam: no email for the first report, no "only 4 seconds recorded" failure (chunked IndexedDB writes), and we do not strip CSS from Chakra UI or NextJS pages - ✓ Versus Marker.io: no per-seat tax for client reporters, no-login viewer keeps the viral loop intact, and console capture is included free, not paywalled - ✓ Versus Loom: console and network are first-class here, not paywalled into Business plus AI; the artifact is a developer-readable HTML file - ✓ Versus Bird Eats Bug: multi-segment replay in one report, short share URLs, no-login viewers, and sessions survive browser restarts - ✓ Versus BugHerd: a real video and live console, not just HTML selectors ### 🛡️ Security Manifest V3 with no remote code. The extension declares `content_security_policy: { extension_pages: "script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'" }` and ships every script bundled locally. No CDN, no eval, no remote loader. Host permission is scoped to `https://peakproductivity.online/*` for license checks only, never `<all_urls>`. ### ❓ Frequently asked questions **Q: Is the free plan really free?** **A:** Yes. 5 reports per month with full recording, console, network, and HTML export. Pro removes the cap and adds hosted share links plus Jira, Linear, and GitHub export. **Q: Does it record in the background?** **A:** No. Recording only starts on your click, with a red border and timer visible the whole time. Closing the tab stops the session and prompts you to save or discard. **Q: Will console output leak tokens?** **A:** The default pass masks Authorization headers, cookies, X-Auth-* custom headers, and credit-card-like patterns before export. Pro adds custom regex rules per project. **Q: How does this compare to LogRocket or FullStory?** **A:** Those are production session replay services that record everyone, always. This is a developer tool you trigger by hand for one bug at a time, no SDK to install. **Q: Can I push to Jira, Linear, or GitHub directly?** **A:** Yes on Pro. The export flows push the full report with repro steps, environment, console output, network logs, and recording attached. **Q: Do reports stay on my machine?** **A:** Yes by default. The free plan exports a local HTML file. Hosted share links are a Pro feature and only run on your Share click, with 30, 60, or 90 day auto-delete. ### 🚀 Get started Install, pin it to your toolbar, and file your first ticket in under a minute. The free plan replaces screenshot-and-Slack for most small teams; upgrade to Pro for hosted share links, Jira, Linear, and GitHub export, custom masking, and unlimited usage. Shipped by Peak Productivity as a Manifest V3 extension with no remote code.
