Welcome to the final day of Launch Week! Today, we're excited to introduce Debug Mode, a powerful new feature that systematically finds and fixes issues in your app.

What is Debug Mode?

Debug Mode lets you describe any issue in your app and Leap will automatically investigate, diagnose, and fix it - just like a real developer would.

Whether you're dealing with API errors, database issues, or UI bugs, Debug Mode gives you a systematic way to resolve problems without manual debugging.

How it investigates

Debug Mode doesn't just guess at fixes. It performs a thorough investigation using the same techniques a developer would:

  • Opens your app in a browser - Leap loads your application and interacts with it like a real user would
  • Tests the functionality - Clicks through features, fills out forms, and reproduces the issue to see exactly what's failing
  • Reads error logs and traces - Examines console errors, stack traces, and application logs to identify where things went wrong
  • Queries your database - Runs SQL queries to check if data is missing, malformed, or causing issues
  • Inspects network requests - Reviews API calls, responses, and payloads to catch integration problems
  • Examines your code - Reads through relevant files to understand the logic and find the root cause

The entire debugging process is transparent. You can watch Leap work just like a developer would: systematically testing, investigating, and tracking down the problem.

How to use it

Using Debug Mode is simple. When you encounter an issue, click "Debug" in the prompt box, then:

  1. Describe the problem - Tell Leap what's not working
  2. Watch the investigation - See Leap open your app in a browser, test the functionality, check error logs, query databases, and examine code
  3. Review the fix - Leap shows you exactly what it changed and why
  4. Verify it works - The fix is deployed and tested in the browser automatically

You see every step: every file Leap reads, every query it runs, every click it makes, and every change it implements.

Debug Mode is available now for all Leap users: Start building for free

Bonus: Galaxy Brain Mode

We've also added thinking mode selection. Choose "Galaxy Brain" for complex tasks requiring deeper analysis, planning and figuring out the meaning of life, or stick with the default thinking mode for balanced speed and quality.

Stay tuned

This concludes Launch Week! We've shipped five powerful features to make building with AI faster and more reliable. Thank you for following along!
