Backends

Official backend

Acralyzer is an open source backend created by the original author of ACRA. It is currently unmaintained. It can be used as is, and is quite stable. But no support will be provided at the moment.

Acrarium is an open source backend created by the current maintainer of ACRA. It has not reached stable status yet.

Alternative backends

Being an open source project, ACRA welcomes all initiatives to integrate its reports in any other backend/analysis tool.

Here is a list of solutions we are aware of.

Commercial solutions

Their UI is often more polished than Acralyzer and they can provide some more handy features or integration with other bug tracking / project management tools.

• Sentry also released an ACRA Sender
• Hockeyapp OSX, iOS and Android beta distribution platform and crash reports collection. There is a more complete sender contributed by Antoine Bouthors
• Bugify - commercial PHP bug and issue tracker published an ACRA sender
• LogEntries, log management service you can eventually use to collect crash reports.
• Tracepot - backend made directly for ACRA
