About Daytime Notes
The problem it solves
Anyone who’s collected feedback on a website knows the routine. A client emails “the button near the top, the blue one, not that one, the other one”, or drops a screenshot into Slack with a red circle scribbled on it. By the time you work out what they mean, half the context is gone, and if the page changes before you get to it, you’re starting over.
Daytime Notes fixes this by putting the note where the problem is. Click the element, leave the note, done. No screenshots, no guessing, and no separate tool to explain to a client who just wants to point at something.
Why I built it
Daytime Notes is made by muzKore, a web developer in Melbourne, Australia. It started as a tool for my own work, built to solve two problems I kept running into.
- Losing focus to small fixes. While building a site, I’d spot something that needed changing and stop to fix it right then, just so I wouldn’t forget. Before long I’d be off down a side track, and whatever I was actually working on had stalled. I wanted to leave myself a reminder on the exact spot and keep going.
- Decoding client feedback. Clients would send notes like “move the image over a bit”, and I’d spend more time working out what they meant than making the change. I wanted them to be able to click the actual image and say “move this to the left”, with the note sitting right on it.
The tools I’d tried before were fine for leaving myself simple notes, but they weren’t built for clients. To leave feedback, a client needed full access to the page builder, which was a mess waiting to happen: one wrong click and something on the live site could break.
So I built Daytime Notes: accurate notes, on the exact element, that anyone can leave. That means me, my team, or a client, without ever going near the admin area or the editor.
How people use it
Notes to yourself while you work
For solo developers and site owners who want a running to-do list attached to the actual pages, not a separate app.
While building or maintaining a site, you’ll spot a dozen small things that need fixing, adding or removing. Stopping to fix each one straight away breaks your flow, and trying to hold them all in your head means some inevitably get forgotten. Instead, click the element, leave yourself a quick note and keep moving. Come back to your list whenever you’re ready, with each item attached to exactly where it lives on the page, not scattered across a notes app, a sticky note or your memory. (Pro users can mark these Personal to keep their own working notes out of the shared team view entirely.)
Client review before launch
For freelance developers and designers handing sites to clients for review.
A developer finishes a build and needs sign-off before going live. Instead of a long email listing every tweak, the client logs in with a Reviewer account, clicks through the pages, and leaves notes exactly where they see something they want changed. The developer works through them in order, marking each one complete as it’s done, with no re-reading a wall of text to work out what’s left.
Agency QA before a client sees anything
For agencies running an internal QA pass before a client ever sees a page.
A design pass and a development pass happen on the same page before it goes to the client. Rather than two people talking past each other in Slack, each leaves notes directly on the elements they’re flagging and assigns them to whoever needs to act. The other person gets one batched notification instead of a ping for every note.
Ongoing maintenance feedback
For anyone maintaining a site on retainer who gets regular rounds of small feedback.
A retainer client occasionally wants small changes: a typo here, a price update there. Instead of a growing email thread that’s hard to track, notes live on the page itself, get marked complete once handled, and stay as a record of what was asked for and when.
Multiple stakeholders, one page
For in-house teams collecting feedback from stakeholders who don’t have (or want) WordPress access.
Marketing, legal and a manager all need to weigh in on the same landing page before it ships. Each leaves their own notes without needing to arrange a meeting, and general notes are visible to everyone, so people can see what’s already been raised instead of repeating it.
How it saves you time
- Point, don’t describe. Click the exact element you mean. No more “the button near the top” back-and-forth, and no more screenshots with red circles.
- Stay in your flow. Leave yourself a quick note about something to fix later, instead of breaking focus to deal with it straight away.
- Feedback stays on the page. Not buried in an inbox or chat history, so small changes don’t mean re-explaining feedback.
- @mention to assign. The note goes to the right person, not lost in a group thread.
- One batched notification instead of a ping for every single note.
- Client-safe reviewer logins. No walking clients through email or Slack, no admin-area confusion and no accidental edits.
- Open and done at a glance, without a separate task tracker.
- Designed to work with any page builder or theme, so there’s nothing new for the client to learn.
- A full history of who asked for what and when, without digging through old email threads.
