- Great work! This definitely will replace the other tools I use to record stuff in the browser!

- I’m on mobile but can’t wait to try it. Very impressed not with your product but with the research you’ve done. That GoogleSheet is extensive as hell.

Privacy concerns about data handling
From 2 comments
- Very useful.. Thanks for making this! Will be trying it out! It doesn't have any tracking or phoning home does it?
