# ReplayRaccoon

> Local-first browser extension for Chrome and Firefox for recording and debugging web sessions. No servers, no tracking. Data stays on your machine unless you sync it to your own bucket.

ReplayRaccoon is a free, open-source browser extension for Chrome and Firefox (128+) that records full browser sessions — DOM mutations, network requests, console logs, user interactions, and web vitals — and stores everything locally in your browser's IndexedDB. It never sends data to a ReplayRaccoon server; there is none.

## What it does

- Records full DOM snapshots and mutations in real time
- Captures network requests and responses (headers, payloads, bodies)
- Logs console output and JavaScript errors synced to a timeline
- Optionally records webcam and microphone (audio embedded in the archive)
- Pre-recording buffer captures network and console from page load, before you hit record
- Extracts user actions (clicks, inputs, navigations) into a clean action list
- Exports sessions as portable .raccoon files (self-contained ZIP archives)
- Optionally syncs sessions to a bucket you own: Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Google Cloud Storage or Azure Blob

## The .raccoon format

A .raccoon file is a ZIP archive containing: DOM mutations, network HAR, console logs, annotations, web vitals, bookmarks, and optionally an audio.webm track. One file, fully offline, drag-and-drop importable in any browser.

## Privacy

- Zero telemetry, zero analytics, zero tracking
- No ReplayRaccoon servers exist — there is nothing to phone home to
- All data lives in the browser's IndexedDB on the user's device
- Data only leaves the machine if the user exports a .raccoon file or turns on the optional sync to their own bucket
- GDPR, HIPAA, and finance-compliant by design, not by configuration

## Who it's for

- **Developers**: Get full context for bug reproduction without asking for steps
- **QA Engineers**: Record test runs, annotate them, hand off perfect bug reports
- **Enterprise & Compliance**: No SaaS vendor approval needed from IT — local storage by default
