The end of messy design feedback
and confusing emails

Live-page markup

Mark up the page itself — not an exported file

Open Figma, export the design, drag it into Slack, draw a wobbly circle in Preview… no thanks. With Ybug, your team and clients annotate the actual webpage right in their browser. The page they’re commenting on is the page you’ll fix.

  • Annotate inside the browser, on the real page
  • No file exports, no Preview, no copy-paste detour
  • What the reviewer sees is what your developer gets

Arrows, highlights, pens, blackouts — built-in

Reviewers grab whichever tool fits the moment: an arrow for a misaligned button, a highlight for a chunk of bad copy, a freehand pen for a sketched suggestion, or the blackout tool to obfuscate sensitive data before sending. No plugins, no Photoshop.

  • Arrows, highlights, freehand pen, and text labels
  • Blackout tool to obfuscate sensitive data
  • Edit and refine the annotation before hitting Submit

Responsive context

Responsive bugs, finally reproducible

A button that breaks at 1280px is invisible at 1920px. Every annotation Ybug sends includes the exact viewport, pixel ratio, browser, and OS — so your developer can hit the same screen size and reproduce the issue on the first try, instead of asking which device the reviewer was on.

  • Viewport, pixel ratio, and window size attached automatically
  • Browser version and OS for cross-browser bugs
  • Current URL and scroll position included

Anywhere your team works

Production, staging, localhost — even pages without Ybug

Drop the widget on prod for live users, or on staging and localhost for client review and UAT. Need to annotate a page where you can’t add the snippet — a CMS backend, a competitor’s site, a third-party tool? Grab the Chrome, Firefox, or Edge extension and annotate any URL on the web.

  • Widget runs on production, staging, and localhost
  • Browser extension works on any URL, snippet or not
  • Native screenshots for password-protected environments

Annotate web pages in three simple steps

Three steps from web page annotation to actionable work in the tools your team already uses.

1.

Capture the page

Click the Ybug widget or browser extension to capture the current state of the web page, whether it's a live site, staging environment, or localhost.

2.

Annotate the website

Draw arrows, highlight specific elements, add text comments, or blur out sensitive information directly on the screen.

3.

Send to your team

Hit send. Your visual feedback, along with auto-captured technical environment data, is instantly pushed into your team's project management tool.

Try it for yourself

“Ybug makes collecting feedback and bugs extremely smooth, even for non-technical users. Annotated screenshots, automatic environment information (browser, console, URL, screen size), and integrations with our project management tools save considerable time during testing and support phases.”

Responsive design capture

Automatically record screen resolution, pixel ratio, and browser version to make debugging responsive UI issues much easier.
