bitdrift Capture is a dynamic observability platform for mobile applications. Its Capture SDK keeps telemetry on the device and selectively uploads it under real-time control from bitdrift’s control plane. The platform detects and groups fatal issues, adding session context such as network activity, logs, feature flags and user interactions. Instant Insights provides real-time views of app health, user experience, resource usage and network performance. The maker describes native SDK layers for iOS and Android, with React Native also supported, and says the compiled SDK is under 1 MB with configurable memory, disk and CPU use. Capture includes ANR monitoring, network request tracing, app performance monitoring and session replay. Integrations include OpenTelemetry, ClickHouse ClickStack, AWS CloudWatch, PagerDuty, Slack and others; Jira, Linear, Grafana and Runway are listed as coming soon.
