# Extension & Web App

> **Use both:** the Chrome extension is where you *capture* feedback on the live website. The web app at [heurio.app](https://heurio.app/) is where you *manage* projects, assign owners, and report.

## How they complement each other

The Chrome extension and web app work together to provide a full-circle workflow:

- **Chrome extension:** focused on quick, direct evaluations, allowing for immediate feedback placement and detailed assessments. Best for capturing [visual feedback](/ux-glossary#visual-feedback).
- **Web app:** supports project management and collaboration, ensuring evaluations are organized, tracked, and resolved effectively. Open [project views](/docs/project-management/severity-view) like Severity, Kanban, Details, and Analytics.

## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need both the Chrome extension and the web app?

No, but they complement each other. Use the extension to capture heurios directly on a live website, then use the web app to triage, assign, comment in threads, and export reports.

### Is the web app available without installing the extension?

Yes. The Heurio web app at heurio.app works in any modern browser without an extension. You won't be able to create new pinned comments on a live site without the extension, but you can browse, comment, assign, and export existing projects.

### Do changes sync between the extension and the web app?

Yes — in real time. Edit a heurio in the extension and the change appears immediately in the web app for everyone with access, and vice versa.

### Which one is better for QA and bug reporting?

The extension is the right tool for capture: it pins exact elements, screenshots them, and records device info automatically. The web app is the right tool for triage and prioritization — sort by severity, filter by assignee, and export to PDF or CSV.
