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.
