What Is BugHerd?

BugHerd is a visual feedback and bug tracking tool for websites that lets anyone—clients, designers, QA, or stakeholders—simply point, click, and comment on a live or staging site. Each pin captures an automatic screenshot along with metadata (URL, browser, OS, screen resolution) and converts feedback into tasks on a built-in Kanban board or in your preferred project management tool.
