What dotts is
dotts is a web-based visual feedback tool for freelance web designers and small teams. It collects pinned comments on live websites, PDFs, and images; clients can use a shared review link without an account, login, or installation. A sidebar helps users navigate comments, resolve them, edit them, or delete them. Upload formats include JPEG, PNG, SVG, WebP, PDF, and HEIC, alongside live website URLs. Comments can include attachments, emoji reactions, and mentions, and 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/year (2 months free), with unlimited projects and collaborators. Review links use a dotts domain; custom review domains, logo swaps, and a fully white-labelled interface are not offered.
