Manual Mode

You navigate your app yourself and tell Conalyz the name of each screen when you are ready to capture it.

Workflow

Once connected, Conalyz prints a prompt:

Screen name ›
  1. Navigate to a screen in your app.
  2. Type a name for the screen and press Enter — Conalyz captures and analyses it immediately.
  3. Move to the next screen and repeat.
  4. Type done or exit to finish and generate the report.

Auto-naming screens

Pressing Enter without typing a name auto-generates a name: Screen 1, Screen 2, and so on.

Scrollable screens

Automatic multi-pass scroll is only available in automated mode (--auto). In manual mode, Conalyz captures a single pass of whatever is currently visible on screen.

For any scrollable screen, scroll to the content you want to capture before typing the screen name at the prompt. Items that are off-screen are not captured. If a screen is long, you may want to capture it in multiple named sections: scroll partway down, capture as Home (part 2), and so on.

When to use manual mode

Manual mode is well suited for:

  • Exploratory audits — quickly checking a screen mid-development without writing a config
  • Screens behind complex flows — gesture-driven interactions, deep modal stacks, or flows that are hard to script
  • One-off checks — verifying a single fix without running the full automated suite
