Notate is for anything where pointing beats describing: design and motion review, product walkthroughs, code review, and handoffs. Unlike screenshot tools, it freezes open menus, hover and focus states before they disappear, or records a flow so you can pin the exact frame where an animation breaks. Gesture-based annotation keeps the flow fast; smart crop and reopenable sessions preserve the image, comments, and context so feedback stays useful when it reaches a teammate or an agent.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built Notate because I spend most of my time on frontend work—web, desktop, mobile, Electron, SwiftUI—and the hardest UI problems are often the hardest to explain in words.
When an animation’s easing felt wrong or a bug only appeared between two states, my workflow was absurd: record the screen, ask an agent to split it into frames, find the relevant frame, annotate it, then explain what the annotation meant. Regular screenshot tools lose transient UI states and have no useful sense of motion. They’re also awkward for designer feedback: the image and written context live separately, with no structured metadata to carry the feedback forward.
Multimodal agents changed the equation. They’re now genuinely good at understanding screenshots and annotations, so I wanted a system-wide tool that could capture anything—not an annotation feature trapped inside one chat app.
Notate freezes disappearing states, records motion frame by frame, lets me point and comment directly, and packages the visual with its context for a teammate or an agent. I’ve used it for real work since the first prototype became functional; it started as a workaround and quietly became part of how I build.
I’d love to hear how you handle visual feedback today—and where Notate could fit or fall short.

Who hunted Notate?
Notate was hunted by Victor Aremu. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
