Catch production errors before your users do.
Bugwatch captures every exception in your app, groups thousands of duplicate crashes into one actionable issue, and emails your team the moment something new breaks — with the full stack trace already attached. Set up in five minutes, from any of 12 languages.
Why teams switch
Error monitoring that stays out of your way.
< 5 min

Install, init, done. The dashboard hands you the exact snippet for your stack.

10,000 → 1
duplicate events collapse into one issue
Stack-trace fingerprinting keeps your inbox quiet and your counters honest.
1 email
per new bug — not per occurrence
Stack trace, request path, release, and user context already attached.
Bugwatch is built and operated by ROOMY AI LLC — the same team behind Roomy AI. We run it in production on our own services first: if ingestion latency or alert delivery regresses, we find out before you do.
What you get
Everything an error tracker should do — and nothing it shouldn't.
Bugwatch is built to do one job well: turn production exceptions into actionable, deduplicated, context-rich issues your team can close.
Duplicate errors collapse into one issue
A spike of 10,000 identical stack traces stays a single ticket with a live counter — not 10,000 Slack pings. When the same error reappears after you resolve it, the issue reopens automatically.
One email per new bug, with the stack attached
The alert lands in your inbox the moment a new fingerprint appears — exception type, full stack frames, request path, release, environment, and the affected user already parsed. No dashboard spelunking at 2 a.m.
Release health that catches bad deploys
Every event carries its release tag. Compare error volume across v1.2.2 and v1.2.3, slice by environment, and see within minutes whether the deploy you just shipped made things worse.
Hard org isolation, enforced server-side
Every read is scoped to your organization at the API layer — not hidden in the UI. Plans enforce real limits: project caps, key caps, monthly event quotas. Free users cannot leak into Pro data.
Rotate keys without downtime
Generate, rotate, and revoke ingest keys from the dashboard. Old keys keep working until you revoke them, so you can swap credentials in a live deploy window instead of a maintenance one.
Alerts that respect your attention
You get notified once per new issue, not once per occurrence. Breadcrumbs, user context, and tags ride along in the payload, so the first email is usually the only one you need.
Analytics that answer 'what changed?'
Daily volume series, level breakdown, release distribution, environment split, platform split — computed server-side over a 14-day window and rendered as one screen your whole team can read.
SDKs in 12 languages, zero dependencies
Python, JavaScript, PHP, Go, Ruby, Dart/Flutter, Java, Rust, C#/.NET, Lua, Elixir, and Perl. Each one is a single file you can read in an afternoon, with HTTPS-only DSNs and PII stripping on by default.
How it works
Five minutes from install to your first captured error.
$ pip install bugwatch-sdk-pythonimport bugwatch_sdk
bugwatch_sdk.init(
"https://bw-YOUR-KEY@bugwatch-api.loadmindx.com/api/YOUR_PROJECT",
environment="production",
release="1.0.0",
)
try:
charge_card(order)
except PaymentError:
bugwatch_sdk.capture_exception()Install the SDK
One package, zero dependencies. Call init() with your project DSN — the dashboard hands you the exact snippet for your stack.
We group the noise
Every exception is fingerprinted by stack trace. Ten thousand identical crashes become one issue with a live counter — not ten thousand alerts.
Your team closes bugs
The first time a new bug appears, your team gets one email with the stack trace, request path, release, and user already attached. Resolve it, and it stays quiet until it actually comes back.
What lands in your inbox

Analytics
Slice every spike by what actually changed
Level, release, environment, and platform breakdowns are computed server-side — so “is v1.2.3 worse than v1.2.2?” is one glance, not a query.

Why Bugwatch
Sentry-grade error tracking, without the enterprise tax.
We built Bugwatch because we needed Sentry's core job — group exceptions, alert the team, show release health — at a price and complexity a small team can actually run.

Who it's for
Built for teams that find out about bugs too late.
Solo developers
The problem. You ship at midnight and a payment call starts failing. You find out because a customer emails you.
With Bugwatch. Bugwatch emails you the exception and the failing request path within seconds — before that customer finishes typing.
Start free — 1 project, 1K eventsProduct teams
The problem. Three engineers, one shared inbox, and every error looks urgent because they all arrive as separate tickets.
With Bugwatch. Duplicates collapse into one issue with a live counter. Assign it, resolve it, move on — the noise disappears.
Pro — 10 projects, 100K eventsTeams shipping fast
The problem. You deploy twice a day and have no idea whether the last deploy made error rates better or worse.
With Bugwatch. Every event is tagged with its release. Compare volume across releases on one screen and roll back with confidence.
Pro — release health includedAgencies & consultancies
The problem. You maintain a dozen client apps. Each one has its own stack, its own deploy schedule, and its own way of breaking.
With Bugwatch. One organization, isolated projects per client, per-project keys, and alerts routed to the right inbox.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. New orgs get a Free subscription automatically. Upgrade only if you need volume or retention.
Card only. No mobile-money step, no phone number.
Ingest still accepts events; upgrade when you need the higher quota and retention window.
Yes. Your plan stays active until the end of the billing period, then falls back to Free. No lock-in.
No. Checkout happens on our payment provider's hosted page. Bugwatch never sees your card number.
FAQ
Common questions, straight answers.
Bugwatch captures every unhandled exception your app throws in production, groups identical stack traces into one issue with a live counter, and emails your team the moment a new bug appears — with the full context already attached. One issue, not ten thousand log lines.
See how it worksBugwatch is the focused alternative: error capture, grouping, alerting, and 12 native SDKs — without the complexity of tracing, session replay, or per-seat pricing. Self-hostable from day one, priced per organization, and honest about what it doesn’t do.
Full comparisonUnder five minutes. Install the SDK (one command, zero dependencies), call init() with your project DSN, and trigger a test error. The dashboard walks you through it step by step with copy-paste snippets for your exact stack.
Browse the docsTwelve first-class SDKs: Python, JavaScript, PHP, Go, Ruby, Dart/Flutter, Java, Rust, C#/.NET, Lua, Elixir, and Perl — plus a browser widget for user-reported bugs. Every SDK speaks the same HTTP contract.
See all SDKsEvery read and write is scoped to your organization server-side. SDKs strip emails, IPs, and auth headers before anything leaves your machine. Keys are rotatable, HTTPS is enforced, and TOTP two-factor is available on every account.
Ingest keeps accepting events so you never lose data during an incident. The Usage page shows your consumption in real time, and the API returns a structured limit response so your tooling can react. Upgrade when it makes sense — not because we held your data hostage.
View pricingYes. The backend ships as a Docker Compose stack — FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and the dashboard — that runs on your own infrastructure. All data stays behind your firewall. The SDKs are open-source and dependency-free.
Plans are per-organization, not per-seat — invite your whole team at no extra cost. Payments go through FlexPay (cards and mobile money). Every payment generates a PDF invoice emailed automatically and archived in your dashboard.
