Built for developers who ship fast

Annotate anywhere on localhost, track everything that matters, fix bugs faster, and let AI handle the boring stuff.

Precise Element Selection

Click any UI element to create a detailed annotation. The extension captures element structure, styling information, and context automatically. Add your feedback, attach screenshots, and let your AI coding assistant handle the implementation.

Complete Bug Timeline

Every bug report includes a full timeline of events: user interactions, network requests, console logs, and errors. See exactly what led to the issue. Your AI can analyze the entire context and suggest the root cause and fix.

AI-Powered Analysis

Your AI coding assistant reads all annotations and bug reports through the MCP integration. It understands the context, analyzes the issues, and can implement fixes across your entire codebase. Process multiple annotations in one go.

Real-Time Design Mode

Edit your localhost site visually with a built-in design editor. Change text, adjust colors, modify layouts, and tweak styles in real-time. When you're done, let your AI apply those exact code edits directly to your codebase - no manual implementation needed.
