Capture API requests for bug reports in seconds

Bug reports often arrive without request context — no endpoint, no status code, just “it’s not working.” Nix Capture lets you record network requests while reproducing an issue and export everything engineers need in seconds. No DevTools. No technical knowledge required. Built for QA, support, and product teams who want actionable bug reports.

How does Nix Capture handle auth tokens and PII in captured requests? That's the blocker with most network recording workflows. Non-technical teammates capturing API context instead of just saying it broke fixes the biggest debugging bottleneck. The export format matters a lot here... if requests land as structured data that maps to issue tracker fields, engineers skip the manual repro step entirely. Auto-tagging failed responses or letting reporters mark the exact moment things broke would make captures immediately actionable.

@piroune_balachandran Great question — this is something we’ve been actively thinking about.
We’re currently adding a safety layer that detects sensitive headers (like Authorization, cookies, or API keys) before export. When exporting or copying a cURL, Nix Capture will warn the user and allow them to either include the tokens or automatically redact them.
We’re also exploring ways to make captures more actionable by highlighting failed requests and improving how exports map to issue trackers.
Really appreciate the thoughtful feedback — this is exactly the type of workflow we want to improve between QA, support, and engineering.

@md_murtuza_ali Great question! and yes, sensitive data is something I’m actively thinking about.
Right now, the extension allows capturing headers like tokens when needed for debugging, since in many real-world cases they are essential to reproduce issues.
That said, this is also why the focus is on making the data visible and understandable, so teams can decide what to share safely when creating reports.
Improving masking and redaction options is something I’m considering as the product evolves.
This hits a real nerve. I've lost count of how many bug reports I've gotten that just say "it doesn't work" with a screenshot of a blank page. Having non-technical team members capture actual request context without opening DevTools is a smart approach.
Question: do you plan to support auto-redaction of auth tokens/sensitive headers before export? That would make it much easier for support teams to share captures without worrying about leaking credentials.
Nice launch, congrats!

@a_kuzov Appreciate the question!
Yes — auto-redaction is something I’m actively considering.
The goal is to make sharing captures safer for support teams without adding friction to the debugging process, especially when sensitive headers like auth tokens are involved.

Quick update — I’ve just added an English version of the demo video to make it easier for everyone to follow along.
