Auto-capture browser workflows and generate step-by-step guides with annotated screenshots.
Extension Metadata
About this extension
Mimik auto-captures any browser workflow into a step-by-step guide with annotated screenshots. Open source, 100% local, no account, no uploads.
Click "Record," do the thing, and stop. Mimik captures each click and keystroke as a step. Each step has a screenshot, the element you clicked, and a description. Edit, replay, or export.
Features
- Auto-capture clicks, typing, and navigation. No more writing steps by hand.
- Annotated screenshots highlight what you clicked. No cropping, no arrow tools.
- Optional AI step descriptions and titles (OpenAI or Anthropic)
- Replay any guide on a live page. Use it for onboarding or step-by-step training.
- Export to HTML, PDF, or Markdown. Files are self-contained, ready to share anywhere.
- Smart Blur hides emails, phone numbers, and card data before sharing.
Private by design
- 100% local. Mimik has no servers. Your guides, screenshots, and recordings never leave your browser.
- No account, no sign-up, no tracking.
- AI is optional. Turn it on with your own OpenAI or Anthropic key. Requests go from your browser straight to the provider, never to us. Without a key, Mimik still works.
Open source
Free and MIT-licensed. Source code and issues:
