Techniques are disclosed for capturing, storing, and regenerating a view of content in applications (e.g., native applications) on devices (e.g., a mobile device). In at least one embodiment, a capture management system is disclosed that produce compact data storage of views of content in an application on a device and the efficient search thereof of views of content provided in the application. The views of content can be translated into a transportable data layer, such as HTML, and captured using delta encoding to identify changes and modifications in content accessed in any application at a device. A capture management system can accurately and efficiently capture events displayed for an application at a device and send the events to a server-side system, which can combine the events to reassemble the events. For example, user interface and user interaction events on an application at a mobile device can be reassembled for the purpose of playback and analysis of interactions with the application.
