As simple as...

“Please fix those annotations.”

Annotate your website at the speed of thought - let AI do the job for you.

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.

See it in action

Watch how Pointa streamlines your development workflow with visual feedback.

Click anywhere on your localhost to add annotations. UI tweaks, design changes, layout issues - mark it all. Comments stay anchored to the elements they reference.

Built for modern development workflows

Everything you need to streamline UI feedback and accelerate development.

Privacy-First Design

Everything stays on your machine. Works entirely with localhost and local files. No cloud uploads, no external tracking, no data collection. Your feedback remains private.

Instant Setup

Get started in under a minute. Install the browser extension, launch your dev server, connect via MCP, and start annotating. No API keys required, no account sign-ups, zero hassle.

AI-Agent Compatible

Integrates seamlessly with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any coding assistant that supports MCP. Simple copy-paste installation gets you connected instantly.

Context-Aware Capture

Select any UI element to create an annotation. Your AI assistant receives complete context through the API: element structure, styling details, optional screenshots, and your specific feedback.

Bulk Feedback Processing

Leave feedback anywhere in your application. Capture issues across multiple pages and routes, then process everything together in one AI session. Handle up to 200 annotations simultaneously.

Zero-Latency Workflow

No round-trips to external servers means instant feedback capture. Work at the speed of thought with immediate response times. Perfect for rapid iteration cycles and maintaining development flow.

Works with the AI tool you already use

Cursor, Copilot, or any other AI coding tool. No vendor lock-in.

Privacy First

Your data never leaves your machine

Pointa runs entirely on your local environment. No cloud servers, no data collection, no third-party services. Everything stays between your browser, local server, and your codebase.

100% Local Processing

All data processing happens on your machine. No internet connection required for core features.

Your AI, Your Data

Works with your local AI tools (Cursor, Claude, etc.). Your annotations go directly to your AI, not ours.

Open Source

Inspect our code, verify our claims. Complete transparency about how your data is handled.

Free & Open Source

Ship faster. Build better.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Pointa

No, Pointa is specifically designed for localhost development. It only works on local development servers (localhost, 127.0.0.1, etc.). This ensures your annotations and bug reports stay private and don't interfere with production environments. When navigating a non localhost page, you are offered the possibility to capture inspirations (screenshots + CSS metadata) from UI elements you want to reproduce in your own project.

Pointa integrates seamlessly with Cursor, Claude Code and other AI coding assistants. When you create annotations or bug reports, Pointa stores them with full context. Your AI can read all annotations through the Pointa API, understand what needs to be fixed, and implement the changes directly in your codebase. No manual copy-pasting required.

Installation takes about 1 minute and involves 3 simple steps: (1) Install the Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store, (2) Run the local Pointa server with 'npx pointa serve', and (3) Add the MCP integration to your AI tool (like Cursor). That's it! You'll be creating annotations in under a minute.

Pointa captures visual annotations, screenshots, console logs, network requests, user interactions, and performance metrics - but only on localhost. All data is stored locally on your machine and never sent to external servers or services.

Yes! Pointa is completely free for individual developers. We might offer premium features for teams, including shared annotations, cloud sync, and advanced AI integrations later on. But the core functionality - visual annotations, bug reports, and AI fixes - is free forever (and open source!)

Pointa is currently available as a Chrome extension. Support for other browsers (Firefox, Safari, etc) may come later if developers contribute.

Yes! Pointa saves all annotations as a large JSON file with all the relevant metadata. You can use this file to import your annotations into your existing project management tools though it will require some manual work to match whatever tool you use

Never. Pointa uses a fully local architecture - everything runs on your machine. The Chrome extension captures data from localhost, the local server stores it on your computer, and the MCP integration lets your AI read it directly from your filesystem. No data ever leaves your machine unless you explicitly configure cloud sync. Learn more about our architecture on GitHub.
