TraceBug.init({ projectId: "my-app" });
Why developers choose TraceBug over Bird Eats Bug
✓Local-first — recordings and evidence live in one offline .html on your machine; Bird uploads sessions to their cloud
✓AI-agent ready — Claude Code or Cursor reads the report directly over a local MCP server and starts debugging
✓Generated failing Playwright test per report — the fix is verifiable, not just describable
✓Free and open source (MIT) — no per-seat pricing for capture, replay, or exports
✓DOM replay alongside video — inspect the actual elements, not just pixels
✓Secrets auto-masked at capture; blur sensitive page regions before recording
When Bird Eats Bug might be a better fit
•Bird Eats Bug has hosted sharing — a link teammates open without receiving a file
•Bird has team workspaces with comments and status tracking
•Bird's browser support and mobile SDKs cover platforms TraceBug doesn't yet
