A Jam.dev alternative when the bug needs more than a console snapshot.
Jam is great at "here is the network tab and the console errors." Screendog is great at "here is the bug, here is what I tried, here is the ticket I just filed."

When to reach for each tool
Jam shines on reproducible front-end bugs where the developer needs the network tab and the JS console. Screendog shines when the bug is human — a confusing flow, a missing copy decision, a flaky integration that takes narration to explain.
Filing into your real tracker
Both tools file tickets, but Screendog uses each service's native API (Linear GraphQL issueCreate, GitHub REST issues, Notion v1 pages, Slack Incoming Webhook, Jira REST v2 issue create). The credential lives in your workspace settings; it never touches the browser.
Frequently asked
Does Screendog capture browser console errors like Jam?
Not today. Screendog captures the user agent, viewport, OS, and the URL when recording started — but not the live console or network log.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some teams use Jam for reproducible front-end bugs and Screendog for everything else. Both export to Markdown, so you can paste either into your tracker.
