# ReplayRaccoon

> Local-first Chrome extension for recording and debugging web sessions. No cloud. No servers. Zero data leaves your machine.

ReplayRaccoon is a free, open-source Chrome extension 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 any server.

## 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)

## 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 explicitly exports a .raccoon file
- GDPR, HIPAA, and finance-compliant by design, not by configuration

## Who it's for
