LocalSteps — Step-by-Step Guide & SOP Maker (No Account, No Cloud)

Turn any browser workflow into a step-by-step guide. No account, no upload — your guides never leave your browser.

Document any process in the time it takes to do it once. Press record, do the work, press stop. LocalSteps automatically turns your browser workflow into a clear step-by-step guide with screenshots, click markers, and written instructions. No account. No cloud. Nothing uploaded. LocalSteps is a privacy-first workflow recorder for creating SOPs, training guides, process documentation, IT runbooks, bug reports, and how-to guides — without sending your screenshots or work data to a server. HOW IT WORKS • Press record and work normally — no setup or configuration • Each action becomes a numbered step with a screenshot and click marker • Links that open new tabs keep recording as part of the same workflow • Typing becomes clear instructions such as: “Type ‘Acme Ltd’ into ‘Vendor name’” • Press stop and your finished guide opens for review • Edit the wording, add notes, reorder or delete steps, then export Create a guide simply by doing the task once. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Most workflow documentation tools require an account or store screenshots in the cloud. That can be a problem when documenting internal systems, customer data, financial information, or other confidential work. LocalSteps works differently. Your screenshots and guides are stored locally in your browser. Recording does not upload them to LocalSteps or any cloud service. You can verify this yourself: open DevTools, watch the Network tab, and record a guide. Nothing from your guide is sent out. The only network request specific to Pro is licence verification through our payment provider. Your guides and screenshots are never included. BUILT FOR CONFIDENTIAL WORK • Passwords are never recorded. Password fields and secret-like inputs are replaced with instructions such as “Type your password into …” — never the actual value • Redaction is permanent. Sensitive information is blacked out directly in the image, so exported files cannot reveal what was hidden • Recording only happens when you start it. LocalSteps does not observe pages while you are not recording • No LocalSteps account is required • Your guides stay on your machine FREE — REALLY FREE LocalSteps Free includes: • Unlimited guides • Unlimited steps • Full editing — rewrite instructions, add notes, reorder and delete steps • Markdown export • PDF export • Self-contained HTML export with images embedded PDF export is free. Your browser already knows how to make a PDF, so we see no reason to charge you for it. No subscription is required to use LocalSteps. LOCALSTEPS PRO $4.99/month or $39 one-time purchase Pro adds: • Redaction — permanently black out names, account numbers, IDs, or other sensitive information before export • Word export — create a document ready for handbooks, internal documentation, and client delivery The core recorder remains local in every plan.

Document it automatically. No account. No cloud. Nothing uploaded.
