Embrace — Crashlytics + Fullstory on steroids
Embrace helps mobile devs find every error, recreate every session on command, and fix bugs in minutes. Think of those freezes during startup, broken purchases & unsolved crashes. Wish, Goat & OkCupid solve all of these with Embrace and debug so much faster.

I dunno, @eric_futoran ...Crashlytics reports give us plenty of info to address our mobile bugs quickly
...said no one ever. Really excited for this. Congrats to you and your team!
@jayyeh yeah, there are a lot of devs who are happy that they have more to work with now than just an unhelpful stack trace that somebody handed them, thinking that's all they need to fix the problem
@jayyeh We also track things that you don't get in Crashlytics. We allow you to monitor 3rd party network requests that your backend team just simply doesn't have access to. This is more than just a crash reporting tool. It's a way to know what your app is doing once you release it into the wild.
Love the comprehensive functionality out of the gate - nicely done! Historically, I've always cobbled together all of this functionality from a few different tools - having them all in one place is fantastic.
It would be really awesome to have something similar to web apps especially with memory usage. Congrats @eric_futoran and the team!
@matheusbaumgart Hey! Since pure video on mobile is practically banned by Apple and shunned by Google, we are as close as you can get. Like FS, we track many of the user interactions and show them in a time-based + visual way. You can also look up and session and recreate them. Unlike FS, we show all the technical details (which are much more critical on mobile) along with the user interactions. We also take screenshots when we recognize an issue or error, or the developer can take screenshots when they decide to. (Plus video impacts the user experience as its technically intensive for the device to run.) does that make sense?
@rajiv_ayyangar There are a lot of errors with mobile apps...unfortunately for all of us :/
@rajiv_ayyangar We capture network errors, crashes, OOMs, slow app performance, and more! We're super receptive to feedback, so let us know what we can do to make your life easier :)
Congratulations @eric_futoran and team!! Our mobile team has been working closely with the team at Embrace (whattup @peter_shea1!) for the past few months and have seen amazing progress on their platform. We've gone from reluctant to ecstatic about using Embrace as part of our day-to-day workflow. Go team!!!
@win_raguini thanks for the kind words! awesome to hear that Embrace is in your day-to-day workflow
@win_raguini It's really cool to hear that you guys are getting so much out of it!
It's an awesome product with powerful visibility and monitoring tools for mobile developers. It helped me to figure out some rare and hard to reproduce issues and errors in the wild. Impressed with how fast the data become available compared to other tools I experienced. Congrats to @eric_futoran and the team, also thanks for the friendly and helpful support!
Great product! Eric and the Embrace team are building something special. Congrats guys!
I love Embrace! They're my go to, and their support is super helpful and friendly.
@kipper Thanks Elliot! The engineering team works really closely with the support team, so if you have suggestions on other things you want to see in the product let any of us know!
Hi everyone!
Much thanks, Kat, for hunting and appreciate the support of YC!
My name is Eric, co-founder of Embrace and previously of Scopely (Walking Dead, Yahtzee, Star Trek). Embrace was founded to improve every user’s mobile experience whether our own or mobile developers.
When building games, I was the 'best' finder of bugs (as CxOs and PMs often are and to the chagrin of the mobile team). Outside of crashes, there was no feedback loop. Feature analytics and logging tools didn’t help. What I wanted was to look myself up on command and reproduce what occurred. Reproducing on mobile is impossible. Embrace tracks every user and every session so that you can recreate any session, good or bad. Think of us as user flows + logging + monitoring in one session visualized, along with a set of easy-to-use tools to proactively find every type of error. Upon implementing in 15 mins, developers always find unknown errors upon going live, and save over 40% of their time diagnosing and fixing bugs.
We are lucky to have 30+ customers already, including Wish (solved their 2nd biggest crash), OkCupid (fixed an unknown bootstrap error), and Headspace (found a critical network call that should have fired but didn't - their server tools were blind).
Looking forward to everyone’s feedback! Thank you!
@eric_futoran Super excited about this announcement! Love the product and we're always looking to improve!
@eric_futoran Very excited to have this out! Looking forward to hearing people's feedback!
@eric_futoran Embrace FTW! Excited for people to check out what we've been working on!
@eric_futoran Very excited to share this with everybody and let you see the features that have led so many cool apps to integrate our service!
@eric_futoran Much love for Embrace! Really excited for people to see all that we have to offer!
@victoria_wilson3 Firm believers in the growth of mobile. I wouldnt create a startup in any other space!
@megan_winter You really should get on it! The tool shows OOMs and so much more! You should visit the website at www.embrace.io
@sqlsurfer We aim to make debugging faster on iOS and Android. Feedback appreciated!
@christine_hermawan1 @megan_winter I know, right? I've been waiting for this since like forever.
@christine_hermawan1 Our aim is to give you the same visibility that you have when you're debugging locally but now when your app is out in the wild.
@peter_shea1 Reproducing sessions sucks :) Never quite the same. The 'field' is our jam
Never seen such a complete mobile-app debugging tool! Could potentially save a bunch of time.
@_davidc17 Thanks David! We aim to please. There is a lot of competition so appreciate any feedback you might have. Take it for a swing!
