Guidejar
Records a process as you click through it and turns the capture into a step-by-step guide or interactive walkthrough.
Guidejar is a documentation tool that records a process while you click through it and produces a step-by-step guide or interactive walkthrough. Guidejar captures from a Chromium browser extension or from macOS and Windows desktop apps, then adds AI rewriting, narration and translation. Finished guides are shared by link, embedded, or published in a help center.
Best for Teams that answer the same how-to questions repeatedly and want documentation, onboarding flows or product demos produced from a single recording.

What is Guidejar?
Guidejar is a documentation tool that captures a process while you perform it and converts the recording into a guide. Capture runs through an extension for Chromium-based browsers or through desktop apps for macOS and Windows; every click becomes a step with a screenshot. The result can be read as a scrolling article or played as a click-through walkthrough. An editor lets you blur private details, add zoom effects, chapters and branching, and apply your own branding. The AI layer includes Nila, a writer that rewrites titles, steps and FAQs, along with voiceover, translation into more than 30 languages, conversion of screen recordings into guides and automatic redaction of personal data. Guides are shared by link, embedded on a site or collected in a help center that can sit on a custom domain. An MCP server lets assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude search and create guides.
