Guide Workspace — Beta

Free, local-first how-to guide maker for SOPs and training. Screenshots, redaction and offline exports. Practice-data beta.

Looking for a free Scribe alternative? Guide Workspace is a local-first how-to guide maker for visual instructions, SOP documentation, and training drafts. Turn supported webpage actions into a step-by-step guide with pictures showing where to click. CURRENT BETA: tested with made-up information. Do not record real customer data. Practice your workflow with sample information, check every picture, and cover anything private before sharing an export. MAKE A GUIDE - Start recording on a supported webpage. - Click through your practice workflow. Each saved step includes a screenshot when capture succeeds, with an optional click marker. - Stop, edit the instructions, and cover private areas with solid rectangles. - Review the pictures and words before exporting. KEEP YOUR WORK ORGANIZED Use folders, favorites, search, and ready-made templates. Combine guides into one HTML handbook. Use it as a training manual creator for repeatable practice workflows and draft handoff documentation. TAKE YOUR GUIDES WITH YOU Export a self-contained HTML guide with Next and Previous buttons, save an editable .guide backup, or print/save as PDF using your browser. Exports are free. No account is required. LOCAL FIRST Guide data and pictures are saved in this browser profile. The extension does not upload your guides to a cloud service. You decide where exported files go. There is no cloud sharing, team account system, video recording, or auto-translation. Those tradeoffs keep the workflow local and simple. KNOW WHAT IS COVERED Supported visible input-field areas are covered in saved captures. Names, messages, account details, images, and other information outside those areas can still appear. There is no automatic detection of every secret. Check pictures, guide titles, instructions, image descriptions, and displayed site origins. Uploaded pictures need your own review and covers. Previously downloaded copies do not change when you edit a guide. RECORDING LIMITS Changing the page, switching tabs, or leaving the recording window can pause recording. Continue explicitly when available, or start another recording on the new page. A saved warning tells you to check for actions missed during the pause. Fast clicks can leave a step without a picture; check the warning and re-record or repair that step. Chrome's internal pages and some complex webpages cannot be recorded. This beta does not promise complete capture of every website.
