What is OverlayQA?

OverlayQA is design feedback and QA software that turns visual feedback into structured, dev-ready issues. Capture UI bugs from staging, localhost, or production by clicking any element to collect screenshots, CSS selectors, computed style values, and viewport metadata. AI generates structured issues with severity tagging. Two-way sync with Jira, Linear, Notion, and Slack keeps issues current across tools. Status, assignee, priority, comments, and resolution sync back automatically. Shareable issue links give stakeholders real-time visibility without requiring a login.

The Design-Dev Gap Costs You Every Sprint

Design feedback slips through because teams lack shared context. The result: wasted cycles, frustrated handoffs, and issues that keep coming back.

"It looks off" isn't a bug report

A designer spots a spacing issue on staging and drops a screenshot in Slack. The dev asks "which element? what's the expected value?" Three rounds of back-and-forth, two days wasted. With OverlayQA: one click captures the element, CSS values, and screenshot. AI writes the issue.

Screenshots don't have CSS values

A dev gets a bug ticket with a cropped screenshot and "fix the hero spacing." They open DevTools, hunt for the element, cross-reference design specs, guess which value changed. 45 minutes to understand a 2-minute fix. With OverlayQA: every capture includes computed styles, element selector, and viewport automatically.

Fixes disappear into Slack threads

A PM runs standup and asks about last sprint's UI issues. Two are "done" in Slack but never verified. Three were fixed but regressed. Stakeholders ask for updates, but there's no link to send them. With OverlayQA: issues go straight to Jira, Linear, or Notion with full context. Share a public link with anyone who needs visibility. Compare live vs spec to verify the fix shipped.

Turns Visual Feedback Into Dev-Ready Issues

  1. Capture in one click. Click any element on your site. OverlayQA automatically captures a screenshot, element selector, computed CSS values (padding, font, colors), and viewport info. 1 click instead of 45 minutes in DevTools.
  2. AI generates a structured issue. Describe what's wrong in plain language — "button padding looks off." AI reformats it into a detailed issue with title, description, type, severity, and all captured technical context attached. Dev-ready in seconds, not 30 minutes of writing.
  3. Sync with your tracker. Send the issue to Jira, Linear, or Notion with one click. Screenshots, CSS values, and element info travel with every issue. Changes sync both ways: update a status in Jira and it reflects in OverlayQA. Reply in a Slack thread and it lands as a comment.
  4. Team collaboration. Invite teammates, comment on issues with @mentions, and get real-time notifications when something changes. Share a public link with stakeholders or clients who need visibility without creating an account.
  5. Verify the fix. After a fix ships, compare the live result against the original capture or design spec. Confirm the issue is truly resolved before closing it out. Zero follow-up questions — full context ships with every issue.

Design System Audit

OverlayQA scans any live page for design system inconsistencies without requiring a Figma reference. The token inspector detects off-scale spacing (values that fall between your spacing tokens), orphan font sizes not in your type scale, near-duplicate colors and shadows, and inconsistent border radius. According to the OverlayQA Design System Drift study, 100% of audited sites showed component drift averaging 5.3 types per site. Proactive scanning catches these issues before users do. See how the Design System Audit works.

Shared Visibility for Your Team

OverlayQA is a collaboration tool with team invitations, @mentions, threaded comments, and real-time notifications that give every team member shared visibility into UI quality. Designers confirm intent, engineers get precise CSS values, and PMs get reporting and analytics on what's shipped and what's blocked. Share a public link with stakeholders who need visibility but don't need a login. When everyone sees the same picture, debates disappear.

Built for Every Role

Designers

Compare your Figma frame against the live build and see exactly where spacing, color, or typography drifted. No more "I think the padding is off" conversations.

Engineers

Every issue includes the CSS selector, computed padding, font-size, color values, and a screenshot. Fix in one pass, not three rounds of "which element?"

PMs

Track every UI issue from capture to verified fix. Share a public link with stakeholders and know what shipped, what's blocked, and what regressed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which browsers does OverlayQA support?
OverlayQA is available as a Chrome extension. Firefox, Edge, and Safari support is planned based on user demand.
Do I need a design tool to use OverlayQA?
No — OverlayQA works on any website without any design tools. Capture bugs, run accessibility audits, and sync issues to Jira, Linear, Notion, or Slack. If your team uses Figma, you can optionally connect it to compare designs against your live site.
Can I use OverlayQA on production websites?
Yes. OverlayQA works on any URL — localhost, staging, and production sites, including those requiring login.
Does the AI write the issue for me?
You write what you observe — the AI reformats it into a structured, detailed issue with a clear title, description, type, and severity. You stay in control of the observation. The AI handles the formatting.
Which project management tools does OverlayQA support?
OverlayQA syncs two ways with Jira, Linear, Notion, and Slack. Export issues with full context, and changes (status, assignee, priority, comments, resolution) sync back automatically. Asana and GitHub Issues support is planned.
Is there a free plan?
OverlayQA includes a free 7-day trial with full access to all features. Plans start at $39/month for individuals. No credit card required to start.
How does OverlayQA fit into my design workflow?
OverlayQA plugs directly into your design and development workflow. Capture issues while reviewing staging, sync them to Jira, Linear, or Notion, and verify fixes. Changes sync both ways, so your team never leaves their tracker. It replaces the manual back-and-forth of screenshots and Slack threads.
Does OverlayQA capture personal data in screenshots?
Screenshots automatically redact PII on capture, so bug reports never leak customer data into your tracker. This happens before the screenshot leaves the browser.
Do I need an account to start capturing issues?
No. Install the extension and capture up to 5 issues before creating an account. Your captures are saved locally until you sign up.
