NativeScope / Network
Capture controls & sounds
Focus on new traffic, pause capture, preserve earlier context and configure local request sounds.

Long sessions accumulate useful history and visual noise at the same time. Network capture controls let you focus the timeline without restarting the app or deleting context prematurely.
Start a focused capture
Select New capture before exercising a new code path. NativeScope places a local marker at the current point and shows only requests that arrive after it.
Earlier requests are not deleted. Use Show earlier on the marker to restore them whenever the previous context becomes useful. The marker also offers a deliberate action to clear only the traffic before it.
This is useful after:
- changing a component or hook;
- reproducing one interaction in a noisy app;
- starting a new test scenario;
- isolating a retry, mutation or polling cycle.
Recent request feedback
Every newly captured request receives a brief, subtle row highlight. It confirms that the action reached the Network module without turning the timeline into an animated log.
Pause and resume
Pause stops new entries from being added to the Studio timeline. It does not pause, cancel or modify requests in the app. Select Resume to continue capture.
Use the trash action to clear the complete Network history. NativeScope asks for confirmation before the destructive action.
Request sounds
Sounds are off by default and remain a local Studio preference. Choose one mode:
| Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Off | Keep capture silent. |
| All requests | Play a subtle sound for every new request. |
| Errors only | Notify for network errors and HTTP 4xx/5xx responses. |
| Selected endpoints | Notify only when a captured request matches an endpoint rule. |
Endpoint rules accept a path or a method and path, such as:
/auth/*
POST /checkout
GET /api/sync/*Select a captured endpoint from the suggestions or type a custom rule. Use the compact volume control and Test before relying on audio; browsers may require one interaction before allowing sound.
