Ever spotted a bug and thought, "how do I even explain this?" That's exactly the moment BugShot was built for.

BugShot is a Chrome side panel extension that lets you pick DOM elements on a web page, tweak and compare their styles, and file the result as an issue on Jira, GitHub, Linear, Notion, GitLab, Asana, or ClickUp — or send it to a server you built yourself. Capture right where you spot the bug, and ship a report that bundles the environment, screenshots, video, and logs in one shot.

No more typing out "the color of this button looks off" — one click does it.

The four main tabs

It looks like a lot at first, but don't worry — the side panel is just four tabs, and they click into place quickly.

  • Debug — Pick a capture mode (Edit element style, Capture element, Screenshot, Record screen) and write your issue here. Console and network logs live here too.
  • Issues — Browse your drafts and submitted issues, and reopen them anytime.
  • Integrations — Connect platforms like Jira and GitHub. With nothing connected yet, a banner on the capture screen points you here.
  • Settings — Set up the issue body sections, AI connection, language, and theme just the way you like.
