PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Useful instructions without a documentation subscription.
Mask before local persistence
Text inputs, textareas, editable text regions, and visible iframe content are permanently covered before screenshots enter extension storage. Add, resize, move, blur, or remove additional manual masks in the editor.
Export files you keep
Produce standalone HTML, Markdown with image assets, rich text, or a print-ready PDF path. Exports remain usable without a LocalGuide account.
PLANNED RELEASE
A focused tool for support, operations, and client handoff.
Up to three stored guides and 15 steps per guide, with standalone HTML export and Appletide attribution.
Up to 100 steps per guide, unlimited local guides, Markdown ZIP, rich-text copy, PDF printing, and attribution-free output.
English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, German, and French.
Planned requirement: Chrome 116 or later. The one-time license includes LocalGuide 1.x updates; a future major version is not promised as part of this purchase. Refund requests are accepted within 14 days under the Appletide refund policy. LocalGuide requests access only for sites you choose to record. It cannot record Chrome internal pages, the Chrome Web Store, browser dialogs, or some specialized editors; version 1.0 masks visible iframes and does not record actions inside them. Other visible page content may still contain private information, so review every screenshot before sharing. The name, price, and release offer remain subject to final store and trademark review.
QUESTIONS
Before you record.
Does LocalGuide upload my screenshots?
No. The current release architecture processes and stores guide screenshots locally in the extension. License activation sends license data, a product identifier, and a random installation identifier, not guide content.
Does privacy masking catch everything?
No automated detector can promise that. LocalGuide excludes typed field values from its event data and permanently masks text-entry and iframe regions before image persistence. Other page content may still contain private information, so inspect the result and add manual masks before sharing. Replace a screenshot if a permanent automatic mask covered the wrong area.
Where can I find setup and recovery instructions?
Open the LocalGuide help center for recording, permissions, privacy review, exports, backups, and license troubleshooting in all eight launch languages.
What happens when a workflow opens another website?
Recording pauses. Open LocalGuide from the Chrome toolbar, explicitly authorize the new site, and continue; LocalGuide does not silently expand its website access.
Is live customer support required?
No live chat is planned. Email support at [email protected] covers installation, compatibility, licenses, payments, refunds, and backup recovery, normally within two business days.
