Description
Markaroo turns website feedback into tracked work.
Your client opens the page, clicks the element that’s wrong, draws on it, and types what they want. You get a pin with a screenshot, the exact URL, and the browser details. Assign it, set a priority, reply in thread, and mark it done.
No screenshots pasted into email. No “the button on the third section, you know the one.” No login required for the person leaving feedback.
Markaroo lets clients and team members leave visual feedback directly on your WordPress site. Click anywhere on a page to drop a feedback pin, capture a screenshot, add annotations, and turn comments into trackable tasks — all without leaving the browser.
Built for web agencies, freelance developers, and content creators. No external service required. All data stays on your server.
Free features:
- Click-to-pin feedback anywhere on a page
- Drag-to-select region capture with an on-page overlay
- Automatic page screenshots via html2canvas (runs in-browser, no server calls)
- Annotation tools: arrow (default), rectangle, circle — drawn on the screenshot
- Markdown comment composer with toolbar shortcuts
- Priority badges (urgent/high/normal/low), task assignment, due dates, tags
- Threaded replies and @mention autocomplete for WP users
- File attachments (images, PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, CSV, text)
- Admin dashboard with filterable/sortable task list and overview analytics
- Guest share links — send clients a unique URL, no account required
- Three widget modes: Comment, View only, Clean (widget hidden)
- Smart email notifications: off / instant / digest / smart (based on activity)
- GDPR-compliant: WP personal-data exporter and eraser built in
- Clean uninstall: optionally remove all tables, options, and transients
- Works with any theme, page builder, or site structure

FAQ
-
Does this work with page builders?
-
Yes. Markaroo works with any theme or page builder including Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, and Oxygen.
-
Do clients need a WordPress account?
-
No. Use the Share Links feature to generate a unique URL for each client or project. They click the link and can leave feedback immediately with just their name.
-
Does the screenshot feature send data to an external server?
-
No. Screenshots are taken entirely in the browser using html2canvas and are uploaded directly to your WordPress media library. No data is sent to any third-party service.
-
How do I control who can see and leave feedback?
-
By default, any logged-in user with the
markaroo_manage_feedbackcapability (assigned to administrators) can manage feedback. The create capability is given to editors and above. You can adjust these via WordPress roles or themarkaroo/can/*filters. -
Is it GDPR-compliant?
-
Yes. Markaroo integrates with WordPress’s built-in personal-data tools. Site admins can export or erase a user’s feedback and replies from Tools Export Personal Data / Erase Personal Data. The plugin also suggests standard privacy policy content.
-
Can I remove all data if I deactivate or delete the plugin?
-
Yes. Go to Markaroo Settings Advanced and enable Delete data on uninstall. When the plugin is then deleted from wp-admin, all database tables, options, transients, and cron events are removed. If the setting is off (default), your data is preserved.
-
What PHP version is required?
-
PHP 8.1 or higher. WordPress 6.5 or higher.
