A debug console that shows up even when your app doesn't

Virtual Console injects before your bundle even runs — so you get logs, an object inspector, and a live REPL whether your app boots, crashes, or never starts at all. Mobile-friendly. Nothing phones home.

or press Shift + C, or long-press with two fingers on mobile

Try it liveopen the console, then click a button

Or type straight into the REPL at the bottom of the console — try {a: 1, b: [1, 2, 3]}

Survives a crash

Injects before your app's own bundle runs, so it's still there even if React never mounts.

Mobile-friendly

Two-finger long-press to open on a phone or tablet — no keyboard required.

Object inspector

Expandable viewer for objects, arrays, Maps, and Sets — click to drill in, just like DevTools.

Live REPL

A real eval-backed console with syntax highlighting, history, and inline autocomplete.

Five themes

VS Code, Chrome Light, Dracula, Nord, and Tokyo Night — or bring your own.

Zero telemetry

Fully local. Nothing you log — or that the console logs about itself — leaves the page.

Drop it in

Two lines. No provider, no context, no framework lock-in.

import { installVirtualConsole } from '@codehacks/virtual-console';
import '@codehacks/virtual-console/styles.css';

installVirtualConsole();

Or use the Vite plugin to inject it before your app bundle even runs — full setup in the README
