Introducing layernote — Visual feedback for design and product teams

Design feedback is broken. Your team reviews a website in a meeting, someone takes notes, another person drops a screenshot in Slack with "can we move this 4px to the left?", and a third person sends an email with a PDF of marked-up screenshots. A week later nobody remembers what was resolved, and half the feedback was never addressed.

We built layernote to fix this.

What is layernote?

layernote is a visual feedback and annotation tool that lets you review websites, Figma designs, and static assets — all in one place. Click anywhere on a page to leave feedback. Assign it. Track it. Ship it.

No more scattered feedback across Slack threads, email chains, and meeting notes. If you want to understand why the current process is broken, read why design feedback is broken.

How it works

1. Create a project

Drop in a live URL, connect a Figma file, or upload images, PDFs, and videos. layernote supports five project types:

• Website — Annotate directly on live URLs
• Figma — Import frames and annotate on your designs (see our Figma plugin announcement)
• Static files — Upload and annotate PDFs, images, and videos
• Authenticated webapp — Install a lightweight script to annotate apps behind a login

2. Annotate in context

Click on any element to create an annotation. Add a description, set the priority, assign it to a team member, pick a category, and set a due date. Every annotation lives exactly where the issue is — no more "see the red circle in the third screenshot."

Annotations are responsive too. Leave feedback on desktop, and it maps correctly to tablet and mobile viewports.

3. Track progress with a custom kanban board

Every project gets a fully customizable kanban board. Create your own columns, rename them, color-code them, drag annotations between statuses. Whether your workflow is "Open → In Review → Done" or something more complex, layernote adapts to how your team works.

4. Share with anyone — no account needed

Generate a share link and send it to a client or stakeholder. They can view and leave feedback without creating an account. Set permissions (view, comment, or edit), add password protection, and set feedback deadlines with automatic reminders.

5. Collaborate in real-time

See who's online, watch cursors move across the page, and get instant updates when someone adds or resolves feedback. No more refreshing the page to see if anything changed.

Fix the mess

Feedback doesn't belong in Slack. It doesn't belong in email. It doesn't belong in a Google Doc someone titled "Website feedback FINAL v3."

It belongs on the thing you're building. Pinned to the pixel. Assigned to the right person. Tracked until it ships.
