Annot

Annot Cloud (web app)

The Annot web app at annot.work/app is the hand-edit surface for the same SVG annotation format produced by the headless annotator. Capture once, hand-tune in the browser, share the result.

Screen app-overview

  1. Search — Filter the image gallery by filename, tag, or metadata. Substring matching across both titles and tag labels.

  2. Help — Opens the keyboard-shortcut reference and the “What’s new” panel. The same shortcut surface that appears when you press ? anywhere in the gallery.

  3. New — Create a new annotation: upload an image, capture with the Chrome extension, or start a fresh document. The primary entry point for empty galleries.

Topics

Section titled “Topics”
  • Sign in — GitHub + Google login flows for cloud sync.
  • Switch storage backends — Local IndexedDB, the OS file system, GitHub repos, Google Drive.
  • Share links — Generate a public URL for any annotated screenshot.

When to use the web app vs the Playwright fixture

Section titled “When to use the web app vs the Playwright fixture”
  • Web app: hand-tuned annotations. Designers, product managers, bug reporters who want to mark up a screenshot once and share it.
  • Playwright fixture: programmatic annotations from CI. Test authors, build pipelines, docs generators.

Both produce the same SVG format. A hand-edited screenshot can be opened in a script via parseAnnotationSvg; a Playwright-generated screenshot can be opened in the web app for further hand-editing.

Pricing

Section titled “Pricing”

The web app is free to use under the Apache-2.0 licence. A paid Pro tier covering team sharing, history, and increased quotas is on the roadmap.
