Feedback where the real site lives
Figma is where you design, and its comments live on the design file. But your client doesn't have a Figma account, and the built site behaves differently from the mockup. dotts is where feedback happens once there's a real URL: staging review, pre-launch QA and every post-launch change request.

Where Figma comments run out
“The staging site is up, can you take a look?”
Figma comments sit on the mockup. Once there's a staging URL, the design file isn't where the review should happen.
With dotts: Share the staging link in dotts. Your client comments on the real page, no Figma account needed.
“It looked fine in Figma, but it's off on mobile.”
Real content, real breakpoints and real browser behaviour only show up once the site is built.
With dotts: dotts captures each comment with a screenshot plus browser, OS and viewport, so pre-launch QA is grounded in reality.
“Small change on the live page, can you note it?”
After launch, the work lives on the live site, not in the Figma file anymore.
With dotts: Clients pin post-launch change requests straight onto the live page, and Copy for AI brings them into your editor.
Switching from Figma to dotts
There is no import from Figma, and you will not miss it: a dotts project takes about a minute to set up, so most people simply start with the next client project.
Paste the live or staging URL, or upload a PDF or image. dotts loads the page through its own proxy, so there is nothing to install on the site.
Every project has a review link. Send it to your client. They open it in any browser, type a name and comment. No account. Add a password if the project is confidential.
Each comment arrives with a screenshot, browser, device and viewport. Reply in the thread, or use Copy for AI to hand the open comments to your coding assistant.
Mark each comment as in progress or resolved. Your client sees the status on the same link, so nobody has to ask what happened to their note.
Add dotts to your Figma workflow
Keep designing in Figma. Add dotts for the moment there's a URL to look at. Free plan, no credit card, and your client comments straight from a link with nothing to install.
What a review with dotts looks like
One link to share
Paste the URL of a live site, or upload a PDF or an image. dotts gives you a link to share, with a password if you want one.
Clients comment without an account
They type a name, the email is optional, and the Just browsing option skips even that. No signup, no install.
Every comment carries its context
Browser, device, screen size and page URL are stored on the comment, together with a screenshot that already has the dot on it.
Set the status, or have it set
Open, in progress, resolved. On Pro, Claude Code or Cursor read the comments over MCP, change the status and reply as doby AI.
dotts and Figma, answered
No, after it. Design and prototype in Figma; review the built site in dotts. They cover different stages of the same project, and they work well together.
Figma comments live on the design. The moment the site is built, real content, responsive breakpoints and actual browser behaviour aren't in the Figma file. dotts is where you comment on the built reality.
Figma's help centre says commenting needs at least can-view access to the file, so you manage that access on the Figma side. In dotts your client clicks a link and comments with no account, which is often what makes client review actually happen.
dotts reviews the built site, plus PDFs and images. Keep designing and commenting in Figma; bring in dotts once there's a URL, a PDF or an image to look at.
At handoff and after: staging review, pre-launch QA, and post-launch change requests on the live site.
dotts is an EU company with EU hosting and is GDPR-compliant, which often matters most for agencies with European clients.
One click turns a feedback thread into structured context for Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, including page, element and browser details.
