How It Works

Up and running in 60 seconds

1

Create a Project

Name it, pick a label preset (or start blank), and you're ready. No configuration needed.

2

Add Issues

Create issues in seconds. Add labels, pin important ones, write markdown descriptions.

3

Ship & Close

Work through your list, close issues as you go. Export for standups or documentation.

For Apps with Users

Turn bug reports into conversations

Connect any app to BugMgr via REST API. Reporters get a private link to follow their issue, leave comments, and stay in the loop — no account required.

1. Connect Your App

One API call from your error handler or feedback form. Pass the user's name and email alongside the bug report.

2. Reporter Gets a Link

BugMgr emails them a private, tokenized link — no signup, no password. Just a direct view of their report.

3. Two-Way Discussion

Reporters see live status and labels, read your replies, and post markdown comments. You're notified when they respond.

4. Merge Duplicates

Multiple users hit the same bug? Merge them into one thread. All reporters automatically follow the canonical issue.

Submit a bug from any app — any language, any platform 
// From your error handler, feedback form, or monitoring tool
fetch('https://bugmgr.com/api/v1/issues', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer bm_your_api_key' },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    title:          'Payment fails on mobile Safari',
    body:           'iOS 17, reproducible every time...',
    reporter_email: 'jane@example.com',  // ← gets a private token link
    reporter_name:  'Jane Smith',         // ← shown in the discussion thread
    environment:    { url: location.href, browser: navigator.userAgent }  // ← owner-only
  })
});

Pro tip: Use separate projects for different contexts — one for work, one for personal, one for each client.

Built by a Solo Dev, for Solo Devs

I'm an independent developer, just like you. I built Bug Manager because every issue tracker I tried was either too complex for one person or too limited to actually be useful.

There's no venture capital behind this. No growth team. No 200-person org deciding what features to ship. It's just me, building the tool I wish existed — and shipping it fast because I use it every day.

When you subscribe, you're supporting an independent developer who's betting on the same thing you are: that one person can build great things.

Why $5/mo (or $50/yr)? Because I believe great dev tools shouldn't cost a fortune. No ".99" psychology tricks — just a fair, honest price. Your subscription directly supports an independent developer building software I'm proud of.
