In their own words
dotts
dotts is a web-based client feedback tool for freelance web designers and small teams. It collects pinned comments on live websites, PDFs, and images, with clients able to leave feedback through a shared review link without an account, login, or installation. A sidebar gathers comments so users can navigate to them, resolve them, edit them, or delete them. Uploads can be JPEG, PNG, SVG, WebP, PDF, or HEIC, and users can also review live website URLs. Comments support attachments, emoji reactions, and mentions, and can show device, browser, and screen-size context. dotts says it works with publicly accessible Squarespace, Webflow, Wix, and Framer sites without a plugin or integration. Its doby AI MCP server connects with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex to read open comments and resolve them while changes are made. The free Testing plan allows up to three projects and unlimited reviewers. Pro costs $15 a month or $150 per year.
