Our promise

Device Test Bench is a 100% client-side application. It does not collect, store, transmit, log, or analyze any user data, media, or metadata. There is no backend, no database, no analytics, and no telemetry. The application runs entirely in your browser tab.

The single page-load network request returns only static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a tiny inlined SVG favicon. After that, the page makes no additional network calls (verified by E2E tests).

Threat model

What this app does

  • Requests camera and microphone permissions only after you click Start on a test card.
  • Uses the resulting MediaStream to:
    • Attach a <video> element (camera preview), and/or
    • Pipe into an AnalyserNode to drive a VU meter, and/or
    • Pipe into a MediaRecorder to produce a .webm Blob when you click Record.
  • Offers the resulting Blob/image as a downloadable file via URL.createObjectURL and a normal <a download> link.
  • Releases every MediaStreamTrack on unmount and every URL.createObjectURL on completion/unmount.

What this app does not do

  • No fetch/XHR/WebSocket calls to any host.
  • No localStorage/sessionStorage/IndexedDB/Cookies.
  • No service worker, no background sync, no push notifications.
  • No third-party scripts, no analytics, no A/B testing, no error-reporting SDK.
  • No use of eval, new Function, or dangerouslySetInnerHTML.
  • No telemetry in the build pipeline (no source maps shipped to the browser by default).
  • No fonts, images, or scripts loaded from CDNs.

What we cannot protect against

  • The user's own browser, OS, or extensions. A malicious browser extension could in principle read media from the page. This is true of any web app.
  • Compromise of the user's machine. If your OS or browser is compromised, no web page is safe.
  • Phishing: someone could clone this site. Always verify the URL.
