Bug Report Recorder is the fastest way for QA engineers, mobile developers, and product teams to create crystal-clear, structured bug reports in seconds. Instead of writing long descriptions and manually capturing timestamps, simply record your screen and speak. The app automatically transcribes your voice, numbers each reproduction step, and formats a complete, professional bug report ready for Jira, Linear, or GitHub. Save 10+ minutes on every bug ticket. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap Record and speak what you are doing ("Step 1: Open cart", "Actual: App crashed"). 2. Reproduce the issue naturally. 3. Stop recording — your structured report is instantly generated. KEY FEATURES • Live Voice-to-Steps: Automatically turns your voice narration into numbered steps with precise timestamps. • Expected vs. Actual Results: Clearly structured fields parsed directly from your voice recording. • Complete Hardware & OS Specs: Auto-attaches device model, iOS version, build number, locale, and network status. • Interactive Video Player: Click any timestamped step to jump directly to that exact moment in the video. • 1-Click Formats for Issue Trackers: Instantly copy formatted text tailored for Jira Wiki syntax, Linear, GitHub, or standard Markdown. • Instant Web Links: Generate clean, interactive, auto-expiring web links to share in Slack, Teams, or ticket comments without sending heavy video files. • Offline ZIP & HTML Packages: Export complete standalone offline archives with embedded video and interactive reports.

PocketSpec is a read-only viewer for comfortably reading the Markdown specifications inside your GitHub repositories, right on your iPhone and iPad. Check the design docs and specs stored in your project's docs/ folder anytime, anywhere. It isn't tied to a single repository — register multiple projects as a "spec bookshelf" and switch between them to read. ■ Key features • GitHub integration (read-only) Sign in with GitHub and securely fetch only the contents of the repository, branch, and documentation folder you specify. It never edits or commits files. • Clean Markdown rendering Supports headings, lists, code blocks, tables, images, and links. Optimized so even long specifications are comfortable to read. • Mermaid diagram rendering Renders Mermaid code such as flowcharts and sequence diagrams as real diagrams. Tap to zoom to full screen. • Manage multiple projects Set a repository, branch, and display folder per project. The last opened project and document are restored on launch. • Offline support Once fetched, content is cached on device, so you can read your most recently synced specs even with no connection. • Secure by design Limits the visible content to the folder you specify; it never reads source code or configuration files. Access tokens are stored only in the device Keychain and are never sent to any external server. ■ Who it's for • Engineers who want to quickly check their project's specs on the move or before a meeting • Anyone who wants to read documentation from multiple development repositories in one place • Anyone who wants to safely view private-repository design docs from their iPhone ■ Before you start Using this app requires a GitHub account and read access to the target repositories. To read private repositories, install the dedicated GitHub App on the target repository (the only permission required is Contents: read-only).
