Annotatr – Bug Reporting, Bug Tracking, Kanban Board and Project Management

Tired of playing bug report detective?

If you’ve ever launched a client project, you know the chaos:

• Clients email screenshots that don’t make sense
• Testers dump bugs into messy spreadsheets
• Developers lose track of what’s “in progress” vs. “done”
• Conversations scatter across email, Trello, Slack, and DMs — with no single source of truth
• Critical bugs slip through the cracks because no one knows who’s responsible
• You spend more time managing feedback than actually fixing it

The result? Missed deadlines, frustrated clients, and projects that drag on longer (and cost more) than they should.

Enter Annotatr: A bug tracking plugin built for WordPress teams.

Capture issues, assign them, and track progress — without ever leaving the site you’re building. Everything stays in one place, inside your WordPress dashboard, so you can focus on delivering projects — not chasing down bug reports.

Stop juggling multiple apps. No more creating endless accounts for developers and clients. Keep your entire bug-fixing workflow simple, streamlined, and fully inside WordPress.

Why Choose Annotatr?

Built specifically for WordPress teams
Unlike generic project management tools, Annotatr is designed from the ground up for WordPress development workflows. It understands your site structure and captures the context you need to fix bugs fast.

No third-party apps needed

Single source of truth
Stop hunting through email threads, Slack messages, and spreadsheets. Every bug, every comment, every status update lives in one organised dashboard.

Context captured automatically
Forget asking “What browser were you using?” or “What page was this on?” Annotatr automatically logs device type, browser version, screen resolution and page URL — giving developers everything they need to reproduce and fix issues.
