Record a task you do anyway
Start a capture, do the task in one tab, stop. Each click, selection and entry on a supported site becomes a step with a screenshot of the page.
Do the task. The guide writes itself.
SnipSteps records the clicks you make in one browser tab and turns them into a step-by-step guide with screenshots. Stored on your device. No account.

What it does
Every step labelled from the page
Each step is named from the control you used — its label, a nearby caption or a table header. What you typed is never stored, only the field's label.
Screenshots you can redact
Place a black box over anything sensitive during or after capture; the pixels are replaced in the stored picture. Blur and pixelate are in the Browser package.
Export as HTML now; more formats are planned
Export the guide as an HTML page; the Browser package adds a print-ready layout. Markdown export is planned for everyone; Word, PDF and PowerPoint exports are planned for the Browser package.
What stays on your computer
Everything the extension makes stays in the browser profile it ran in. The privacy page says what the optional usage counts hold and what they never hold.
Never collected
- Typed values and passwords
- Cookies, request bodies and browsing history
- Page content beyond the labels of controls you acted on
- Web addresses beyond the site's origin
- Any identifier of you, your browser or your device
On your device
- Your guides, steps and screenshots, in this browser profile
- Every export you make, where you save it
- Redaction: the black box replaces the pixels in the stored picture
Only if you switch it on
- Anonymous usage counts, off by default, at most one report a day
- Never a web address, a page title, a label, an image or a licence key
- Your network address is used, hashed, only to limit how often a report can be sent
Free vs Browser package
The free extension captures, labels, redacts and exports HTML. The Browser package adds the rest; rows marked planned are not built yet.

Get the Browser package early
Testers get the Browser package before it is on sale, in small groups, with a licence key by email.
The session package the extension exports is designed to be read by the planned SnipSteps Windows application.
