# BugShot BugShot is a Chrome-based bug reporting tool for inspecting, editing, capturing, and reporting issues directly from the browser. It helps QA, design, and engineering teams add context and send reports to Jira, GitHub, Linear, and Notion. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: Design Tools ## What is BugShot? BugShot is a Chrome-based bug reporting tool that combines inspection, style editing, capture, replay, and issue filing in one browser workflow. The product is positioned for people who need to review UI changes, document bugs, and hand them off with enough context for developers to act on them. From the collected pages, BugShot focuses on reducing the handoff between discovery and reporting. Users can click an element to inspect styles and attributes, edit CSS visually or with AI assistance, record interactions or replay the last 30 seconds, and generate a structured report before sending it to an external tracker. ## What can BugShot do? ### Inspect and edit styles in the browser Inspect any element on the page to see its applied styles and attributes, then use the visual editor to change styles directly in context. ### AI styling assistance Describe a design or UI change in plain language and BugShot uses AI to rewrite the CSS, with before-and-after comparison on the page. ### Record and replay user actions Record a live session or capture the last 30 seconds from always-on replay so a bug can be documented even after it was noticed. ### AI report drafting Turn captured evidence into a structured bug report with steps, expected behavior, and actual behavior. ### Automatic context collection Bundle browser, resolution, DOM context, console errors, network activity, and action logs with the report so the issue is easier to reproduce. ### Issue filing and sharing Send the captured report and attachments to Jira, GitHub, Linear, Notion, GitLab, Asana, ClickUp, and Slack from the integrations flow. ## Use Cases ### Reviewing UI changes and design QA Designers and product reviewers can click elements, inspect the current styles, and make quick visual edits before sharing the issue with the team. ### Capturing hard-to-reproduce bugs When a bug is intermittent or already happened, a user can rely on live recording or the last-30-seconds replay to preserve what occurred. ### Sending richer bug reports to engineering Developers can file reports with console errors, network activity, DOM context, and action logs attached so the likely cause is visible sooner. ### Submitting issues into an existing workflow Teams that work in Jira, GitHub, Linear, Notion, GitLab, Asana, or ClickUp can send captured issues into their existing tracker without switching tools. ### Creating consistent issue drafts QA and support teams can draft a report with expected and actual behavior already structured, then submit or share it as needed. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is BugShot free to use? Yes. The homepage says BugShot is completely free and requires no sign-up; users install it from the Chrome Web Store and start reporting immediately. ### Which browser does BugShot support? The homepage presents BugShot as a Chrome add-on and says to add it to Chrome, so Chrome is the supported browser shown in the source. The site does not list other browsers in the collected text. ### What do I need to use the AI features? BugShot can draft reports with AI after you capture a bug. The homepage does not spell out the exact inputs required beyond captured data and the report draft flow. ### Which issue trackers and platforms can BugShot connect to? The integration docs explicitly mention Jira, GitHub, Linear, Notion, GitLab, Asana, ClickUp, and Slack. The homepage also references Jira, GitHub, Linear, and Notion. ### How is collected data handled? The collected pages mention capturing browser, resolution, DOM context, logs, video, and issue data, but they do not provide a detailed policy on retention or handling. For that, the source points to documentation, which was not fully available in the collected text. ## Quick Facts - **Category**: Developer Tool - **Platform**: Chrome - **Primary workflow**: Inspect, edit, capture, report, and file bugs from the browser - **Pricing**: Free according to the homepage; pricing page not available in the collected sources - **Integrations**: Jira, GitHub, Linear, Notion, GitLab, Asana, ClickUp, Slack - **Source domain**: bug-shot.com
