Community
Foxglove builds with the robotics community.
Foxglove develops MCAP, the Foxglove SDK, and its extension tooling as open source projects. Robotics teams extend the app through the public registry, write tutorials for the Foxglove blog, and answer each other's questions in Discord.

Open source
An open standard for robotics data.
MCAP started at Foxglove as a recording format for multimodal robot logs, and has since been adopted across the wider robotics ecosystem, including by tools we do not build. Every project here is MIT licensed, so any team can build on it or ship it in a product.
MCAP
MCAP is a modular, performant, and serialization-agnostic container file format, useful for pub/sub and robotics applications.
Foxglove SDK
Log and visualize multimodal data for robotics and physical AI.

Extensions from the community.
Extensions add panels and message converters to Foxglove, so a team can adapt the app to its own robots and data formats. Anyone can publish one to the public registry for other teams to install.

FAQ
How do I get help with Foxglove?
Ask in Discord. Other users and the Foxglove team are there too. The documentation covers setup and panels. For account, billing, or enterprise questions, contact us.
How can I contribute?
Open an issue or a pull request on any of the open source repositories, publish an extension to the registry, or help translate Foxglove into your language on Crowdin.
How do I publish my own extension?
Start from create-foxglove-extension, package your extension into a .foxe file, and publish that file somewhere public such as a GitHub release. Then open a pull request against the registry. Once it is merged, anyone can install your extension from the extension settings inside Foxglove.
Is Foxglove open source?
Where can I meet the Foxglove team in person?
Can students and researchers use Foxglove?
Yes. Students, professors, and researchers using Foxglove for academic purposes can access it free of charge, including the data platform and all Foxglove features. See pricing for details.
