You explain the same task for the third time. Chronika makes it the last.
Press record, do the task once, and every click becomes a numbered step with its screenshot and the click ringed. Tidy it, then send one link. The next person who asks gets the guide instead of a call.
What's new
Guide tools grew up in the browser, but a lot of real work doesn't happen there: Excel, SAP, installers, the internal tool from 2009. Chronika records both in the same kind of guide:
- Chrome and Edge extension for anything in a tab
- Windows app for any window or a whole screen, with steps named after the button you actually clicked
And it was built for screens that show internal systems:
- Passwords are blurred before anything uploads, in both recorders and on every plan. What you type into them is never kept.
- Narrate as you go. Your words stay lined up with the step they explain.
- AI is optional, and you choose it. Pick your provider (Ollama on your own hardware included), or switch AI off. A person always decides what the guide says.
Then share it your way: a read-only link you can turn off, PDF, Word, PowerPoint, HTML or Markdown, or Guide Me, which walks someone through the task one step at a time, even as an overlay on the live website.
Who it's for
The person who keeps getting asked: - IT and help desks: record the fix once, answer the next ticket with a link - Operations: the standard way to do the recurring jobs, written down - HR and training: onboarding guides new hires can follow alone - Support teams: help articles made from real screens
Teams get shared workspaces, collections and roles. Organizations get single sign-on (Entra ID, Google, any OIDC) and invitation-only sign-up.
One more thing for IT teams
Chronika Time in the Windows app turns the tickets you actually had open into a timesheet and books it into ServiceNow, Jira, Tempo, Harvest or Clockify. It's opt-in for each person, and the log stays encrypted on their own PC. Accurate timesheets, nobody watched.
Why support it
Chronika is new and independent: no funding round, no wall of logos, just the product. Your email here helps it reach the lineup, where more people who keep getting asked can find it.
