Every developer has been there: you paste an error into Google, find a Stack Overflow answer from 2014, and still have no idea what actually went wrong.
I built Debuggle because I was that developer — and I still am, honestly.
I've only been coding since late 2024. I needed a tool that didn't assume I already knew what a null pointer exception meant at a deeper level, or why a specific Node.js error was happening in my context, not just generically.
So I built it.
What Debuggle does
You paste any stack trace or error message. Debuggle analyzes it and gives you three explanations simultaneously:
- Novice — plain language, no jargon, just "here's what broke and why"
- Mid — technical context, the cause, what to look for
- Expert — root cause, code-level diagnosis, fix suggestions
After the analysis, you can open a multi-turn chat about that specific error with the context already loaded. You're not starting from scratch explaining the situation — Debuggle already knows what you're dealing with.
It also saves analyses to a personal vault, so over time you build a searchable knowledge base of every error you've ever debugged.
The privacy part
I care about this, so I built it in from the start.
Debuggle supports 6 AI providers: Groq, OpenRouter, Ollama, Anthropic, OpenAI, and VeniceAI. That last one and Ollama mean you can run it 100% locally — no data leaves your machine.
API keys are stored in your OS keychain. Never written to disk in plaintext.
The stack
Electron 33 + React 18 + TypeScript. Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS.
I'm self-taught and about 8 months into building real projects. This is probably the most complete thing I've shipped so far — multi-provider AI support, a vault system, pattern tracking, context-aware chat. It took longer than I expected and I learned a lot building it.
Why I'm sharing this
Partly to get feedback. Partly because I think there's a gap between "paste your error into ChatGPT" and having a tool that's actually built around the debugging workflow — with context persistence, level-appropriate explanations, and local-first privacy.
If you're a developer who's ever felt like error messages are written for someone else, Debuggle might be for you.

Would love to hear what you think — or what you'd add.
