Tether is a feedback and bug reporting widget that a team adds to its website or web app. Users and teammates can record their session and submit feedback from inside the product, instead of sending screenshots by email or describing problems in chat. The company's pitch is that feedback should be reported directly from the product itself.
It works in production and staging, internally and externally. The company says it suits teams of all sizes and is especially helpful for web agencies and SaaS companies. Reports can cover bugs, product enhancements, copy changes, design QA, and general website feedback, and they are collected in one place for the team to review.
Tether is installed with a JavaScript snippet. A team adds one line of code to its project's repository, or loads it through Google Tag Manager, and the feedback button then appears on any page. The site states that setup takes under two minutes and does not require an engineer. A Chrome extension is offered for teams that would rather avoid code.
When someone spots an issue, they click the button, capture a screenshot or screen recording, add markup, and submit. Tether automatically attaches technical data for developers. Reports collect in the Tether dashboard, and integrations such as Slack and Notion pass them on to tools the team already uses. Submitters do not need a Tether account.
Capture is the core of the product. Screen recording is one click away, with markup options, Loom-style recording, and pixel-perfect screenshots. Video, webcam, and audio recording are included from the Startup plan upward. Each report carries technical metadata automatically, which one customer quoted on the site says helps pinpoint the exact issue and resolve it quickly.
Beyond capture, Tether offers guest accounts so clients can collaborate without seeing internal feedback. Pro adds console log recording, event hooks, custom data passthrough, and custom branding, while Enterprise adds widget white-labeling. The feedback button works across major browsers, operating systems, and responsive web apps, including on mobile.
