Session Replay

Session replay runs in the background for your current tab and stores changes locally on your machine. When you hit a bug, use Instant Replay to grab the last couple of minutes and attach them to a report.

Instant Replay capture

  1. UI Zap automatically records HTML/DOM changes for the active tab and stores them locally.
  2. When you encounter a bug, open the extension and choose “Instant Replay”.
  3. You’ll get access to the last ~2 minutes of your browsing for that tab as a replay segment.
  4. The review page opens with the replay attached along with logs and metadata.
  5. Add a title and description, then click “Create” to create the bug ticket.

What’s captured

  • DOM and layout changes (mutations), clicks, inputs, navigation, and viewport changes.
  • Timeline segment (~2 minutes) representing activity immediately before you triggered Instant Replay.
  • Automatically captured context: console logs, network metadata, and environment details.

Privacy & storage

  • No data is sent to our servers until you create a ticket.
  • Replay data and context stay on your machine; the extension periodically purges older data to limit storage.
  • Sensitive fields (e.g., passwords, credit cards; request authorization headers and response data) are redacted by default.
