Any app. One click-through. A guide.

What it does

Any appExcel, your desktop software, anything: each click captures the screen it happened on.
A bar you controlPause, undo the last step, discard or finish. It never shows in the screenshots.
AI writes the stepsClick Done and the review opens in your browser with the guide written. Check it, then create it.
Private by designIt only looks while you capture, never keeps what you type, and you can blur anything in the review.
Article, video and demoOne capture makes the article with screenshots, the narrated video and the click-through demo.
In your menu barAlways one click away, and out of the way the rest of the time.
