Layercue

Design review,
without the chaos.

Layercue replaces the screenshot-in-Slack loop with structured feedback pinned to your designs. Comments thread into decisions, and decisions auto-generate a changelog your engineers actually read.

The CVV field needs more breathing room — at 320px it's flush with the card number.

Can we use 'Pay $94.20' instead of 'Continue'? Specific copy converts better.

What it does

Built for the moments design review actually breaks

Four primitives, not forty. Each one earns its keep against the cost of leaving design review on Slack.

Pinned feedback

Comments where they belong

Drop a pin on any element — a button, a section, a single line of microcopy. Reviewers see the exact context, not a cropped screenshot.

  • Pixel-accurate pins on any frame, layer, or section
  • Markdown, mentions, and inline image attachments
  • Pin clusters auto-collapse when frames get crowded
Decision threads

Turn discussion into decisions

When a thread reaches a conclusion, mark it as a decision. Layercue surfaces the rationale, the dissent, and the final call — so nobody re-litigates it three sprints later.

  • One-click promotion from thread to decision
  • Decision history surfaces on every revisit
  • Reversal flow when constraints change
Auto changelog

A changelog engineers actually read

Every shipped decision flows into a structured changelog. Filter by surface, by week, by team. Subscribe via Slack, RSS, or a native digest email.

  • Auto-grouped by surface and release window
  • Webhook + Linear sync for engineering handoff
  • Public-facing digest mode for stakeholder updates
Review modes

The right review for the moment

Async crit, structured rubric, or open-floor. Switch modes per round so a 12-stakeholder review doesn't feel like a 12-stakeholder review.

  • Async crit with timed reveal of comments
  • Rubric mode with weighted scoring
  • Approver workflow for compliance-flagged work
Three views

A small app that does its job.

Layercue is three screens, not thirty. Review where work happens, Decisions for the record, Inbox for what needs you next.

Pin feedback to any element

Pixel-anchored pins, threads, and resolutions. The canvas every reviewer opens — without crowding Figma.

How it works

From scattered Slack threads to a single source of truth

Layercue takes feedback from wherever it lives — Figma comments, Slack threads, doc highlights — and threads it into one decision log per surface.

  1. 01

    Pin

    Reviewers drop pins directly on the design. No more 'see the section above the CTA' guesswork.

  2. 02

    Thread

    Replies, mentions, and attachments stay scoped to that pin. Nobody scrolls a 200-message Slack thread to find the one comment that matters.

  3. 03

    Decide

    Mark the resolution as a decision. The thread collapses, the rationale is preserved, the surface is unblocked.

  4. 04

    Ship

    Decisions flow into your changelog and out to your engineering tools. Handoff is a side effect, not a meeting.

Design teams that stopped reviewing in Slack.

We killed three weekly review meetings the month we adopted Layercue. The async crit mode is the only thing keeping our distributed team's review cadence honest.

Head of Design · Northwind
Our engineers used to ignore design comments because they were buried in Slack. Now decisions flow straight into Linear, scoped to the right ticket. Handoff went from a meeting to a notification.

Engineering Manager · Cobalt
The decision log is the receipt every PM has been begging for. When stakeholders revisit a question we settled in March, we point at the entry and move on.

Figma comments live inside the file. Layercue lives across files — pinning to designs, prototypes, live URLs, and Loom recordings, all under a single project surface. More importantly, Layercue threads collapse into decisions with a permanent rationale, so you stop re-litigating the same calls every quarter.

No — Layercue replaces the Slack thread, not Slack itself. The Slack integration sends notifications and lets reviewers reply inline, so the people who live in Slack never have to switch context. The structured record stays in Layercue.

Every decision supports a reversal flow. You file the new constraint, link the original decision, and Layercue notes both in the log. New stakeholders see the full history — not just the latest call — so the team's reasoning compounds instead of resetting.

Yes. Every plan includes a one-click JSON export of all comments, decisions, and changelog entries, with stable IDs. Pro and Team plans add a Markdown export sized for archive into Notion or a wiki.

Pro plan seats are billed per active reviewer per month. Inactive seats — typical for freelancers between sprints — don't accrue charges. Team plan customers can configure guest reviewers with read-and-comment access at no per-seat cost.

The Team plan includes SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, full audit logs, and configurable data residency in either US or EU. We're SOC 2 Type II as of Q4 2024 and the report is available under NDA.
