A Jam.dev alternative when the issue 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 what I did, here is what I expected, here is the recording and the transcript to prove it."

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 issue is human — a confusing flow, a missing copy decision, a walkthrough that takes narration to explain.
Recording, transcript, and folders
Both tools capture video, but Screendog leans into the after-capture: a full transcript, AI-written notes, folders to keep a growing library tidy, and a share link (or embed) for every recording. You can also upload a video you recorded elsewhere and get the same treatment.
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. Screendog transcripts and notes are copyable, so you can paste them wherever your team works.
