Design QA Software

The UI bug tracker that finds bugs for you.

Last updated:

Run design QA on any live page. Find visual, accessibility, and design-system bugs automatically, collect client feedback and sign-off, and track every issue to fixed. Without screenshots in Slack or feedback by email.

What is OverlayQA?

OverlayQA is a UI bug tracker that detects visual and accessibility bugs and collects client feedback on any live page. Clients comment with no account, your team tracks every issue to fixed, and issues sync two ways with Jira, Linear, Notion, Asana, and Trello. Run it in the dashboard on any public URL with no install, or use the Chrome extension on localhost and staging. Click any element to collect screenshots, CSS selectors, computed style values, and viewport metadata, and AI drafts the issue with severity tagging. Status, assignee, priority, comments, and resolution sync back. Shareable issue links give stakeholders real-time visibility without requiring a login.

Find and Fix UI Bugs 15x Faster

OverlayQA helps you find UI bugs, collect client feedback, and file issues with the screenshot, element, and CSS developers need.

Find Bugs Before Anyone Reports Them

Auto Review flags missing states, dead links, and placeholder copy. The accessibility audit names the failing element. Design Tokens audits production against your design system and catches hard-coded values. Visual Comparison shows what drifted from your Figma frame. Each finding becomes an issue with a screenshot, the element, and its CSS.

Every scan is included on every plan

Collect Client Feedback and Approval

Send one link to your branded portal. Clients pin comments on any element, reply in the thread, and approve or request changes. No account, no extension. Each approval includes the latest scan results, so everyone knows what was checked.

Clients never need an account

Track Every Issue to Fixed

Assign owners, add labels, and filter to what is still open. Status, assignees, priority, and comments sync both ways with Jira, Linear, Notion, Asana, Trello, and Slack. Prefer to skip the tracker? Track everything in OverlayQA.

Two-way sync on every plan

Catch Regressions After Launch

Weekly scans compare each run with the last one and email you what changed. When a fix ships, the issue shows No longer detected, so you can close it in one click.

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.

Why Not Just Use What You Have?

The three tools teams compare us to, and where each one stops.

A Website Feedback Tool?

It only collects what someone already noticed. OverlayQA does that too, and finds the bugs nobody reported.

Finds bugs, not just feedback

An Accessibility Scanner?

Scanners give you a report. OverlayQA gives you issues with a screenshot, the element, and its CSS, assigned and synced to your tracker.

Issues, not reports

Jira or Linear Alone?

Keep them. OverlayQA finds and captures the bug, then syncs it both ways. Your developers stay in the tool they already use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Is OverlayQA a bug tracker?
Yes. OverlayQA is a UI bug tracker: it finds visual, accessibility and design-system bugs on any live page, captures the rest in one click, and tracks every issue to fixed with labels, assignees and comments. Keep Jira, Linear, Notion, Asana or Trello and sync two ways, or track in OverlayQA alone.
How is OverlayQA different from a website feedback tool?
Website feedback tools collect what someone already noticed. OverlayQA does that too, and also runs scans that find visual, accessibility, and design-system bugs before anyone reports them. Everything lands in one issue list.
Do clients need an account to comment or approve?
No. Anyone with the review link can pin comments, reply, and sign off or request changes, with no account and no install.
Do I need Jira or Linear to track issues?
No. Track issues in OverlayQA with labels, assignees, statuses and comments. If your team lives in Jira, Linear, Notion, Asana or Trello, connect it and status, assignee, priority and comments sync both ways.
How does design QA prevent UI bugs?
Design QA catches UI issues before they reach production. OverlayQA turns visual feedback into dev-ready issues: capture any element on staging or production, automatically collecting screenshots, CSS values, and element selectors. AI generates structured issues with full technical context. No more unstructured feedback in Slack or email.
What makes OverlayQA different from screenshot-based bug reporting?
Screenshot tools capture what you see but not the technical context developers need. OverlayQA captures the element selector, computed styling values, page URL, and viewport, then AI formats everything into a structured issue. Optionally compare against design specs for additional context. The result: dev-ready issues, not vague bug reports.
How do teams use OverlayQA for visual QA?
Teams use OverlayQA to capture UI issues with full context. Click any element on staging to capture a screenshot and styling values. Describe the problem in plain language, and AI formats it into a structured issue. Sync to Jira, Linear, Notion, Slack, Asana, or Trello. Changes sync both ways, so status and comments stay current across tools. Project managers track issues from capture to resolution.
Is there a free plan?
OverlayQA includes a free 14-day trial with full access to all features. Plans start at $39/month for individuals. No credit card required to start.
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.
Can I use OverlayQA on production websites?
Yes. OverlayQA works on any URL: localhost, staging, and production sites, including those requiring login.
Which browsers does OverlayQA support?
Team Review runs in any modern browser on public URLs with no install. The Chrome extension covers localhost, staging and login-gated pages. Firefox, Edge, and Safari extensions are planned based on user demand.
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.
Which project management tools does OverlayQA support?
OverlayQA syncs two ways with Jira, Linear, Notion, Slack, Asana, and Trello. Export issues with full context, and changes (status, assignee, priority, comments, resolution) sync back automatically. Slack thread replies land as comments and emoji reactions update status. GitHub Issues support is planned.
