Reactime is an open-source Chrome extension designed for React developers to enhance debugging and performance monitoring. It offers time travel debugging by recording snapshots of application state and accessibility trees, allowing developers to jump between and inspect these snapshots easily. The extension features a provider/consumer panel to visualize useContext hook relationships and supports performance metrics such as component render time and frequency. Compatible with popular frameworks like Gatsby, Next.js, and Remix, Reactime also supports TypeScript and React Router.

The latest version introduces a modernized UI with dark mode, improved time travel controls, and restored accessibility tree features for better usability and workflow. Reactime integrates with React Developer Tools to access the Fiber tree, making it an essential utility for optimizing React applications. It includes tutorials and supports snapshot import/export, prop visualization, and snapshot series comparison, boosting both productivity and insight during development.

Very efficient dev tool!

Essential Tool for React Developers! Reactime is an absolute game-changer for React development. As someone working with React applications, the time-travel debugging feature has saved me countless hours of troubleshooting. You can literally move back and forth through your app's state changes and see exactly what happened at each step.
