Catch a bug and file a complete report from Chrome's side panel. Captures, console/network logs, and environment attach automatically. Or tweak the CSS live and send the before/after side by side. AI drafts it for you. Free, no account, straight to your tracker.
It would be awesome if Bug Shot could automatically generate clear reproduction steps from the captured session. That would make it even more valuable.

I love this suggestion because it's exactly where I think bug reporting should go.
BugShot already records your interactions as a structured timeline, and the AI Draft feature turns that into a title, description, and reproduction steps.
The hard part isn't capturing everything—it's knowing what to leave out. Right now it mainly looks at the last ~20 actions, so it's great at explaining what happened right before the bug, but not yet at distilling a longer session into the few steps someone else can reliably follow.
I'd love for BugShot to get there.
The no account requirement is a great touch .Curious does it support recording user interactions leading up to the bug as well?

Yep! BugShot starts recording interactions as soon as it's running, so by the time you decide to report a bug, the history is already there.
It captures things like clicks, typing, toggles, dropdowns, drags, and navigation, then lines those up with the console and network logs so developers can see what you did alongside what the app was doing.
We were pretty careful about privacy, too. Passwords and payment fields are masked before they're ever stored, and we don't record cursor coordinates—just the elements you interacted with.
One limitation today: the action timeline is only attached when you record a video, not when you capture a screenshot. A few people have asked for that already, and I think it makes sense to support both.
Anyone who has ever written a vague bug report and just hoped for the best will feel this one in their bones. That whole back and forth wears everyone down, so smoothing it away feels genuinely kind.

Really appreciate that. We built BugShot because we were tired of the same "Can you clarify?" loop ourselves. The goal was never just to make bug reports faster, but to make collaboration between designers, QA, and developers a little less frustrating. Glad that came across.
