What it is
DemoLens is a free browser viewer for Counter-Strike 2 match demos, presenting a 2D tactical replay rather than a 3D first-person view. It accepts .dem, .dem.gz, and .dem.zst files and parses them in the browser with WebAssembly, so demo files are not uploaded to DemoLens. Replay controls include a multi-level radar, grenade trajectories, player status, key presses, playback speed, and kill markers. Analysis tools provide grenade lineup pins, movement trails, heatmap-style pins, FOV cones, drawing mode, and kill-feed badges. Scoreboard and economy data, player metrics, percentile comparisons, and an integrity check against professional baselines are included. FACEIT demos add synchronised voice playback, per-player voice timelines with WAV export, and chat translation. The browser extension adds one-click demo opening and player scouting statistics in FACEIT rooms. Desktop Chrome, Edge, or Firefox is required; phones are unsupported. The project says it has no accounts, tracking, analytics cookies, ads, or personal-data collection.
