Product feedback for Linear users

CobaltCapture gives a Linear user a fast way to turn what's on screen into a written bug report or piece of feedback that pastes straight into a Linear issue. You capture a screen in the browser, crop to the part that matters, dictate your commentary out loud, and publish. The output is a public review link plus a one-click markdown export — and because Linear issue descriptions and comments accept markdown, you can paste that export directly where your team already works. There's no integration to set up and nothing to install; it works alongside Linear purely through its output.

What it does for a Linear user

Most feedback dies in the gap between seeing a problem and writing it up. CobaltCapture closes that gap. Point it at any URL in your browser — a deployed preview, a staging environment, a live feature, a published design — click Capture screen, and drag a crop box around the issue. Talk through what's wrong while you look at it; the Web Speech API transcribes your narration into captions. Hit Publish and you get a hosted review at cobaltcapture.com/r/<slug> and a markdown version of the same thing.

That markdown is the bridge to Linear. Copy it, open a new issue or drop a comment on an existing one, and paste. The cropped screenshots, the source URL, and your dictated notes land as structured text and image references — no re-uploading files, no retyping what you already said out loud.

Why markdown is the right format for Linear

Linear is markdown-native: descriptions, comments, and updates all render markdown. CobaltCapture leans into that instead of fighting it. The export is plain text with image URLs, so it survives the copy-paste intact and reads cleanly whether a teammate is scanning the issue or a coding agent like Cursor or Claude Code is reading the same writeup to act on it. One captured review can serve both the human triaging the ticket and the agent picking up the work.

How it fits your existing workflow

You keep Linear as your source of truth for issues, cycles, and triage. CobaltCapture just feeds it better raw material. A typical loop:

1. Spot something off on a staging URL or deployed preview.
2. Capture and crop the exact frame, dictate the repro steps and expected behavior.
3. Publish, copy the markdown, and paste it into a new Linear issue — source URL and visuals included.

No accounts are required to try it, and the capture-to-publish flow runs entirely in your browser. CobaltCapture complements Linear; it doesn't replace any part of it.

What this is not

To be clear about the relationship: CobaltCapture is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or integrated with Linear. There's no API connection, no plugin, and no shared account. The compatibility is simply that CobaltCapture outputs markdown and Linear reads markdown — so anything you capture pastes in cleanly.

Frequently asked questions

Does CobaltCapture integrate with Linear?

No. There's no API connection or app to install. CobaltCapture is compatibility-by-output: it produces plain markdown and hosted image URLs, and Linear issue descriptions and comments accept markdown, so you copy the export and paste it in. You keep using Linear exactly as you do today.

How does the screenshot end up in a Linear issue?

When you publish a review, CobaltCapture hosts each cropped screenshot at a public image URL and references it in the markdown export. Pasting that markdown into a Linear comment or description brings the image references along, so reviewers and assignees see the visuals inline without re-uploading files.

Can I use CobaltCapture to file a bug from a staging or preview URL?

Yes. Open any URL in your browser, click Capture screen, crop to the problem area, and dictate what's wrong out loud. Publish gives you a shareable review link plus a one-click markdown export you can drop into a new Linear issue with the source URL and your spoken notes already written up as captions.
