When a sleep app breaks, it's the middle of the night. Hatch couldn't reproduce many bugs, so investigations often went nowhere. 🔍 With bitdrift, they see what happened on any device: → 30-50% faster debugging → 2-3 hrs/week saved per QA Read the full case study:

How Hatch Sleep app uses bitdrift for mobile observability

Hatch turned to bitdrift for real-world mobile observability to understand every user session, across every device that's running their sleep app.
