The story
About Glitch.
A bug reporting tool for developers who'd rather not upload their console logs to a stranger's server.
01
Why local-first.
Most bug reporting tools quietly send your data to the cloud. Console logs, network requests, screen recordings — they routinely contain user identifiers, API keys, and internal URLs. Once uploaded, it's on someone else's server.
Glitch takes a different position. Everything stays on your machine. Recordings save to your Downloads folder. Debug logs never leave the browser. No backend, no database, no third party with custody of your data — by design.
02
What Glitch does.
Glitch is a Chrome extension that captures everything a developer needs to fix a bug — in one click. Screenshots with annotation tools, screen recordings with live drawing, and automatic capture of console logs, network requests, WebSocket messages, Core Web Vitals, and storage state.
Every capture produces a self-contained HTML report that works anywhere — attach it to a Jira ticket, DM it on Slack, or open it locally.
