In simple English
This tool records how people use your website or mobile app. It shows you video-like replays of user sessions, tracks crashes, and points out where users get stuck. You can host it yourself to keep your data private. It works across web frameworks, mobile SDKs, and desktop platforms. You need a server to run the backend and some time to set it up.
What it is
