Release history

Fixed
  • Host page SVG icons broken by unscoped fill protection rule (e.g. Tailwind's fill-current)
  • Toolbar icon states rendering simultaneously when host CSS overrides inline opacity

2.3.1March 9, 2026

Fixed
  • Host app keyboard shortcuts firing while typing in annotation text areas and settings inputs

2.3.0March 7, 2026

2.2.0February 6, 2026

Fixed
  • Unstyled "Learn more" link in MCP Connection settings when no endpoint is configured

2.1.0February 5, 2026

  • wait_for_action MCP tool — unused and superseded by watch_annotations

2.0.0February 5, 2026

The shift from "annotate, copy, paste" to "annotate and collaborate." Agents now see your annotations directly. This update adds MCP server integration, webhooks, React component detection, Shadow DOM support, and much more.

Added
  • MCP server for direct agent integration — agents can fetch, acknowledge, resolve, and dismiss annotations
  • HTTP API and Server-Sent Events for real-time updates
  • Per-page sessions with rich annotation metadata (timestamps, status, resolver info)
  • Status transitions: pending → acknowledged → resolved/dismissed, all timestamped
  • Annotation Format Schema with intent and severity fields for prioritization
  • JSON Schema and TypeScript definitions for the annotation format
  • Webhooks to subscribe to annotation events with structured JSON payloads
  • React component detection — shows full component hierarchy on hover, not just DOM elements
  • Shadow DOM support — annotate elements inside modals, web components, and design systems that use shadow DOM
  • Toolbar position persists in localStorage — drag it once, it stays where you put it
  • Cmd+Shift+Click multi-element selection — hold ⌘+⇧ and click elements to select multiple individually, release to annotate the group
Improved
  • Component detection adapts to output detail level (Compact, Standard, Detailed, Forensic)
  • Cursor styles in settings panel — I-beam for text inputs, pointer for clickable items
  • Individual element highlights on hover — cmd+shift multi-select annotations show each element separately, not one combined box
  • "Block page interactions" now enabled by default — prevents accidental clicks while annotating (can be toggled off in settings)
Fixed
  • Fixed/sticky element positioning — annotations on fixed navs and sticky headers now position correctly regardless of scroll
  • SVG icons broken by host page fill styles — now uses attribute selectors to avoid conflicts
  • Query params and hash fragments now preserved in copied feedback URL
