A browser activity recorder for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. ActionCap captures user actions, network traffic, and rrweb replay data, stores sessions locally in IndexedDB, and lets you inspect or export them as .bxdac archives.
- Record a single tab, the current window, or all browser windows.
- Capture requests, responses, user actions, and DOM replay data in one timeline.
- Replay sessions locally with rrweb and inspect payloads in the built-in results page.
- Export sessions for offline analysis with the companion CLI.
| Browser | Support | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Yes | Uses the debugger permission for network capture. |
| Edge | Yes | Also available from the Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store. |
| Firefox | Yes | Use the Firefox build (bun run build:firefox) and load it as a temporary add-on. |
Internal browser pages such as chrome:// and edge:// cannot be recorded.
- All recorded data stays on your device in IndexedDB unless you manually export it.
- ActionCap does not upload session data, analytics, or telemetry to a server.
- Sensitive fields are masked where possible, but exported
.bxdacfiles can still contain highly sensitive data such as tokens, cookies, request bodies, and page content. - Treat exported sessions as secrets and review them before sharing.
See the Privacy Policy and Permission Justification for the full caveats.
