Latest version
Version 0.6.2
Released Jun 11, 2026 - 284.62 KBWorks with firefox 128.0 and laterPerformance hotfix.
This release eliminates page slowdowns caused by background capture:
• Network requests are no longer delayed — the page receives its
response immediately while capture happens in the background.
• Fixes a hang where streaming responses (Server-Sent Events) could
stall a page indefinitely.
• Large request/response bodies and console output are now capped at
capture time, so big payloads no longer freeze the page.
• Capture messages are batched and high-frequency events are filtered
at the source, sharply reducing overhead while you browse.
No new permissions. No change to what is captured or how your data is
handled — everything still stays on your machine.Source code released under MIT License

Version 0.6.0
Released Jun 5, 2026 - 273.86 KBWorks with firefox 128.0 and laterHindsight 0.6.0
New in this version:
• Side panel event filter — show or hide categories (HTTP, WebSocket/SSE, console, navigations, user actions, performance, screenshots). Your choice is per-tab; set a global default in Settings → Capture.
• Redesigned request/response detail view:
– Bodies and headers render as an interactive, collapsible JSON tree (expand/collapse any node).
– "Find in detail" search with match highlighting and next/previous jump.
– Detail panels now use the full panel height — no more wasted space.
• Per-section "copy" buttons in the network detail (copy just the headers or body you're looking at).
• Toolbar icon and in-panel branding refreshed.
Privacy is unchanged: everything stays local, nothing is sent anywhere unless you explicitly share it.Source code released under MIT License
