Clickdoc - step-by-step guides, on-device

Turn any task you do in the browser into a step-by-step guide with screenshots. You pay for it once, there is no account, and your guides never leave your computer. Press record, do the task, press stop. Clickdoc writes a step for every click, every field you fill and every option you choose, with a screenshot taken just before the click and a highlight on the exact element. Edit the text, add notes, hide anything private with a permanent blur, zoom in on the click, add your logo, then download one self-contained HTML file, copy it into Google Docs, Notion or Confluence, copy Markdown, or print to PDF. WHY CLICKDOC - Pay once. The free version makes 10 guides. A personal license is a one-time purchase of $49, not a seat per month, and it does not expire. - No account. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to sign in to, no email asked for. - Your guides never leave your machine, which is why there is no account. Screenshots and guides live in your browser's local storage. No server, no upload. That also makes it usable where cloud documentation tools are blocked: finance, payroll, banking portals, client systems. - Guides you can actually hand over. The export is a single HTML file that opens anywhere, with the screenshots inside it. WHO IT IS FOR - Anyone who writes the occasional how-to and would rather buy a tool than rent one - Ops and admin staff documenting internal software - MSP technicians writing client runbooks - Bookkeepers documenting Xero, QuickBooks and payroll flows for clients WHAT IT DOES NOT DO Clickdoc is a capture tool: it turns your clicks into a file. The subscription products sell what happens after the file, and Clickdoc has none of it. There is no hosted share link, so you send the file itself. No team workspace, folders or permissions. No report on who opened a guide. No AI: the step text is plain ("Click Submit") and you edit it. No walkthrough overlaid on the live application, and no video. It records Chrome tabs only, not desktop software, and clicks inside an embedded frame (some payment, chat and sign-in boxes) are not captured; add a text step for those. If you need any of those, Scribe or Tango are the better buy. EDITING Blur any area of a screenshot (baked into the image, not a removable overlay). Zoom to the clicked element. Notes under any step. Add text-only steps. Reorder, delete, rename. Pause and resume while recording. WHAT IT RECORDS Clicks on links, buttons, tabs and menu items. Text typed into fields (password and card fields are masked, and email addresses, card numbers, IBANs and phone numbers on the page are covered in screenshots and step text). Dropdown choices. Enter presses. Page navigations. Clickdoc does not use AI, does not read pages while you are not recording, and does not collect analytics. WHY CHROME WARNS ABOUT "ALL YOUR DATA ON ALL WEBSITES" Chrome shows one blunt warning for the two things Clickdoc needs to record a guide: permission to work on whatever site you point it at, and a small script on the page that notices your clicks. Here is every permission in the manifest, in plain words. - storage — keeps your guides, your logo and your license key in the browser's own local storage on this computer. - tabs — reads the title and address of the tab you are recording so a step can say which page it happened on, and opens the finished guide in a new tab when you press stop. - unlimitedStorage — lifts Chrome's 10 MB cap, because a guide with twenty screenshots inside it is bigger than that; the storage is still local. - webNavigation — notices when you move to a new page during a recording, so the guide gets a "Go to ..." step instead of a gap. - <all_urls> host permission — recording works on any site you choose, including internal tools and portals nobody else can reach, which is only possible if the permission is not limited to a list of sites picked in advance. - The content script on <all_urls> — the piece that watches for clicks, typing and dropdown choices; it sits idle on the page and only listens while a recording you started is running, and it sends nothing anywhere. What none of it is used for: no account, no server, no analytics, no AI, no reading pages while you are not recording, no selling or sharing of anything. Your screenshots and guides never leave the machine they were made on.
