Product feedback for GitLab users

CobaltCapture lets a GitLab user capture any web page, crop the screenshot, dictate spoken commentary, and publish it as a markdown document you can paste straight into a merge request comment, an issue, or a wiki page. There's no GitLab integration to set up and nothing to install — you review a URL in your browser and the output is plain markdown plus public image URLs that drop into GitLab's markdown fields cleanly.

Review any URL, including your preview deployments

If you can open it in a browser, you can review it. That covers a GitLab Review App spun up by a pipeline, a staging environment, a published design, or your live storefront. CobaltCapture captures the rendered frame with getDisplayMedia, lets you crop down to the exact element you're talking about, and records your spoken notes with the browser's speech recognition. Because it works against the rendered page, it doesn't care how the deployment was built or where it's hosted.

Paste the result into a merge request or issue

Every published review has a one-click markdown export. The export bundles your cropped screenshots, the source URL, and your dictated commentary as captions. Paste it into a GitLab MR comment box, an issue description, or a wiki page, and GitLab renders the images and text inline — same as any markdown you'd write by hand. No attachments to manage, no screenshots to drag in one at a time.

Agent-readable by design

The same markdown a teammate reads in a merge request can be read directly by a coding agent like Cursor or Claude Code. If your workflow routes review feedback through an agent before it reaches a commit, you hand it the published review URL or the exported markdown and it has the screenshots, the source URLs, and your spoken intent in one structured document — no transcription step in between.

What this is — and isn't

CobaltCapture is a compatible companion to GitLab, not a replacement for it and not an integration with it. You keep using GitLab for your merge requests, issues, and pipelines exactly as you do today. CobaltCapture just makes the feedback that flows into those places faster to capture and cleaner to paste. It's free to try with no signup.

Frequently asked questions

Does CobaltCapture integrate with GitLab?

No. CobaltCapture has no GitLab integration or API connection. It works alongside GitLab by being compatible: you review any URL in your browser, and the markdown output pastes into a GitLab merge request comment, issue, or wiki page like any other markdown.

How do I get a CobaltCapture review into a GitLab merge request?

Publish your review, then use the one-click 'Copy as markdown' export. Paste it into the MR comment box. GitLab renders the cropped screenshots (served from public image URLs) and your dictated notes as captions inline, just like any markdown comment.

Can I review a GitLab Review App or pipeline preview deployment?

Yes. If a deployment has a URL you can open in a browser — a Review App, a staging environment, or the production site — you can capture it, crop the relevant area, and dictate feedback. CobaltCapture reviews the rendered page, so it doesn't matter how the URL was deployed.
