OpenReplay

OpenReplay is an open-source session replay and product analytics platform. It allows developers to record and replay user sessions to identify bugs and analyze user behavior. The software is available as a self-hosted server or as a cloud service, enabling teams to maintain full control over their data security and compliance requirements.

The system uses a tracker with a small footprint of approximately 26KB to capture network activity, console logs, and JavaScript errors without impacting website performance. It is designed for deployment on major cloud providers including AWS, GCP, Azure, and DigitalOcean, ensuring that captured user data remains within the owner's own infrastructure rather than being processed by third parties.

Key features

• Session replay with heuristic analysis for bug triage
• DevTools for inspecting network activity, JS errors, and 40+ metrics
• Omni-search for filtering user actions, session attributes, and technical events
• Privacy controls to sanitize or obscure user data before it reaches the server
• Assist tool for live screen sharing via WebRTC
• Spot Chrome extension for recording bugs directly from the browser
• Support for state tracking in Redux, VueX, MobX, NgRx, Pinia, and Zustand
• Integrations with Sentry, Datadog, CloudWatch, Stackdriver, and Elastic

OpenReplay is built for developers who need deep technical context to reproduce frontend issues. It integrates with various frontend frameworks and captures GraphQL queries and Fetch/Axios requests to provide a full view of the application state. By syncing backend logs with session replays, it enables a front-to-back analysis of technical failures. The platform also includes analytics tools to surface issues that cause conversion and revenue loss, providing a bridge between technical debugging and product optimization.

This tool is a privacy-focused option for teams requiring complete control over their analytics data and security compliance.
