First public preview of BugDrop: local-first debugging evidence for web apps, iOS simulators, and Android emulators.

Included

  • Chrome extension: reproduction steps, console and runtime errors, failed fetch/XHR requests, SPA navigation, and an optional screenshot.
  • Local desktop controller and CLI: simulator/emulator discovery, app-scoped logs, screenshots, and optional video.
  • Review captured evidence and export Markdown or JSON for a coding agent or teammate.
  • No account, cloud service, or AI API key. MIT licensed.

Downloads and setup

  • bugdrop-0.1.0.zip is the Chrome extension. Extract it, enable Developer mode at chrome://extensions, choose Load unpacked, and select the extracted directory. Requires Chrome 120+.
  • bugdrop-0.1.0-source.zip contains the complete project, including the desktop controller and CLI. Extract it and run npm run desktop from the project directory, then open http://127.0.0.1:4318. Requires Node.js 22+; no npm install is needed. iOS requires macOS/Xcode, Android requires adb and a running emulator.

Validation

For the released commit, all 11 unit tests, JavaScript/manifest checks, extension packaging, and loopback HTTP access checks passed locally. Earlier browser and simulator integration results are documented in docs/VERIFICATION.md. GitHub Actions did not start because the GitHub account is locked due to a billing issue; this release has no successful hosted CI run.

Preview limitations

This is an early prototype. There is no Chrome Web Store listing or packaged native desktop app. Physical devices are not supported. Full browser navigation ends capture. Native touch events and native network interception are not captured automatically. Secret masking is heuristic; screenshot and video pixels are not automatically redacted. Review all evidence before sharing.

One earlier Android recording startup timed out; a repeat passed, but the cause remains unconfirmed. See README.md and docs/VERIFICATION.md for full requirements, privacy boundaries, and test limitations.
