Two days of work, and most of it is a part of the site that did not exist on Friday: things you can use without an account, without installing anything, and without us knowing who you are.

The tools

All at session-replay.com/tools, all free, none of them asking you to sign in.

  • Webhook test endpoint. Get a URL, send a request to it, and watch what actually arrived: method, path, headers, body, content type and source IP.
  • HAR viewer. Open a HAR file somebody sent you and read it as requests rather than as forty thousand lines of JSON.
  • Screenshot editor. Arrows, boxes, text and a highlighter, then download it.
  • Blur image. Blur, pixelate or black out anything in a screenshot before you send it. It never leaves your browser.
  • Browser and environment info. Your user agent, screen size and environment, or parse a string somebody pasted to you.
  • cURL to fetch. Paste a curl command, get the fetch() call.
  • Video to GIF. For when the bug is easier to show moving and the tracker will not take a video.
  • HTTP status and redirect checker. Follow a URL through every redirect and see where it actually lands.
  • Open Graph and link preview checker. See what a link will look like when somebody shares it, before they do.

Most of them run entirely in your browser, which is the honest reason we can offer them for nothing: they cost us no more than the page they sit on.

Templates

session-replay.com/templates has three, each written to be used rather than read about: a bug report template, a test plan template, and a QA checklist. Copy them, download them, paste them into your own tracker.

The bug report one is the template our own guide has been describing for a fortnight. It seemed odd that we had never simply handed it over.

A page that says what connects

Connectors lists every destination a report can go to, says what each one does with it, and says what connecting one takes.

It exists because “does it work with Jira?” was a question the site made you guess at. Jira, Linear, Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub and a plain signed webhook all connect today, and now there is a page that says so rather than an assumption you had to make.

Session Replay

Free Chrome extension. One click on the page that is misbehaving captures the screenshot, the console and the network log, and hands you a link to paste into the ticket.

Reports say more at a glance

The header of a report now carries every tracker key it was filed as, its status and its severity, so you can see where something stands without opening anything.

A report is also titled from what the reporter actually wrote. It used to take its title from the page, which produced a wall of identically named reports whenever a site had one busy screen.

And opening a report from inside your own team no longer counts as a view. The number was supposed to answer “has anybody outside seen this”, and it had been quietly counting us.

The site speaks your language further down

Blog listings now write the date the way your language writes it. A German reader sees

  1. August 2026 under a German headline, rather than August 31, 2026.

Tools have their own address in each language where the name translates: the blur tool is /tools/bild-verpixeln in German and /tools/flouter-une-photo in French. The webhook tester stays /tools/webhook-test everywhere, because that is what it is called in every language.

Smaller things

  • The extension is at 1.9.0 in the Chrome Web Store.
  • Asking for a new email confirmation link no longer kills the cancel link in the message you already had.
  • Signing in with a provider that gives us no email address now finishes on the registration form instead of failing.
  • The footer is five columns with the language switcher lifted out of the list it was buried in.
