About Driftwatch

Driftwatch finds stale UI. It sits in Chrome DevTools, watches the API calls a page makes, and checks each field of every JSON response against what the page actually shows. Mismatches appear in a ⚡ Driftwatch tab, field by field. WHAT YOU GET • Automatic interception of fetch and XMLHttpRequest calls, with latency • Field-level drift: "total: API 549, UI ₹499.00" • Checks the rendered DOM (data-testid, id, name, itemprop, class) and Redux / Zustand state stores • Format-tolerant matching: ₹499.00 equals 499, 1,299 equals 1299 • No SDK, no code changes in the app you are testing HOW TO USE 1. Open any page and press F12. 2. Open the ⚡ Driftwatch tab. 3. Use the page. Calls appear live; red entries expand to show the drifting fields. TIPS • Detection works best on apps that label UI elements (data-testid="total"). Sites with generated class names will show "no UI fields matched". • If you install the extension while a tab is open, reload that tab once. PRIVACY Everything runs locally in your browser. Driftwatch sends no data anywhere. Open source: https://github.com/vishalpande/driftwatch-devtools
