About Ray
What is Ray?
Ray is a dedicated desktop application that centralizes and displays debug output from your code. Instead of using cluttered var_dump() or dd() calls in your terminal or browser, Ray sends strings, arrays, objects, queries, and more to a clean, searchable interface. It supports PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, and other languages, and works via HTTP, SSH, or an MCP server for AI integration.
Who needs Ray?
Ray is built for developers—especially Laravel, PHP, and full-stack JavaScript devs—who want a more organized, persistent debugging experience. It’s ideal for debugging complex queries, remote servers, AI-generated output (Ray 3.0), and multiple concurrent projects. It is not a CI/CD tool, a code editor, or a testing framework.
Key use cases
Debugging remote servers over SSH; inspecting Laravel queries, jobs, emails, and exceptions automatically; pausing and measuring PHP execution time; rendering HTML components and Mermaid diagrams generated by AI; archiving and filtering messages across sessions; jumping directly to the relevant line in your IDE.
Key features
- Multi-language support — Send debug output from PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, and more using the same syntax.
- Remote debugging — Connect to remote servers over SSH and stream all debug calls to your local Ray app.
- Search & filter — Find any message instantly by type, label, or color; archive sessions for later comparison.
- Ray 3.0: AI integration — Render AI-generated HTML components and Mermaid/ERD diagrams directly inside Ray.
- IDE jump — Click on any call to open the exact file and line in your editor.
- Pause & measure — Pause PHP code execution and measure time between calls for performance debugging.
- Auto-capture — Automatically receive queries, jobs, exceptions, emails and more without adding any ray() calls.
