Pathnote

Record a browser workflow once and get a step-by-step guide with screenshots. Edit, blur, replay it, or export to Word or PDF.

Pathnote turns what you do in the browser into a clear, step-by-step guide, without writing anything or taking screenshots by hand. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your free Pathnote account with your email (it takes a minute; you only do this once). 2. Open the website you want to document and click the Pathnote icon. A side panel opens next to the page. 3. Click Start recording and do the task as usual. Every click, entry, and selection appears in the panel as a numbered step with a screenshot, even when the task opens new tabs. 4. Click Done. Your guide opens in the editor. To start over, click Restart; to add steps to a guide later, use Record steps here. EDIT YOUR GUIDE • Rename steps, even while you are still recording • Move or resize the highlight on each screenshot • Draw on screenshots: arrows, rectangles, circles, freehand lines, and text • Blur names, addresses, and other sensitive details • Crop screenshots to what matters • Group steps under section headings; reorder, duplicate, or delete steps • Find a step quickly with the step filter GUIDE ME • Play a guide on the live website: Pathnote points at each element in turn, and Next does the step for you SHARE IT • Download from the Export button as a Word document (.docx), PDF, PowerPoint, Markdown, or video (.mp4) • PDF and PowerPoint can include callouts that describe each step on its screenshot • Highlights, blur, crops, arrows, and notes are applied to the exported images • Add your organization's logo, name, and brand colour to downloads STAY ORGANIZED • All your guides in My Library, with search, sorting, and Favourites • See the latest changes under What's new • Select several guides to star or move to Trash at once; restore from Trash within 30 days PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your free account holds only your name, email, and the profile details you choose to add • Guides and screenshots are stored only in your browser and never uploaded • No analytics or tracking • Pathnote only runs on the tabs of a recording you started (including tabs your task opens) or a guide you play with Guide me • Passwords, payment cards, one-time codes, and ID numbers are never recorded • Password fields are blurred in screenshots automatically
