From one click
to a finished guide.
Chronika records a task as you do it. Each click becomes a step with its screenshot. You tidy the result, share it, and, if you like, walk someone through it step by step.

What is Chronika?
Chronika is a way to document a process with screen capture. Press record and do the task: each click becomes a numbered step with a screenshot and the click ringed. Then you edit the steps, share the guide as a link or a file, and walk colleagues through it with Guide Me.
01Four areas
Capture. Edit. Share. Guide Me.
Record in a browser tab or a Windows program, tidy the steps, send a link, or walk someone through the task. Each job has its own page.

02From click to guide
You click. Chronika writes it down.
Here is what happens to one click, using a drawn sample portal.
You click
Do the task the way you always do, in a browser tab or in a Windows program.
It is captured
The click gets a step: a screenshot, the click ringed, and the name of what you clicked.
It is uploaded
Each step goes up as it happens. Password fields are blurred first, and what you type in them is not kept.
The guide opens
When you stop, the guide opens in your workspace, ready to edit.
Sample steps from a fictional portal. The lit step is the one being read.
03Six stages
The life of a guide
Every guide moves through the same six stages. You can stop at any of them; the earlier ones are enough for a rough draft.
- 01
Capture
Record a browser tab or any Windows program. One step per click, with a screenshot.
- 02
Narrate
Talk it through while you work. Your words line up with the steps they belong to.
- 03
Develop
With AI set up, a title, an introduction and the step text are drafted for you. Without it, sensible defaults.
- 04
Mark up
Blur, crop, zoom and annotate. Add a tip, a note or an alert where people go wrong.
- 05
Share
Send a public read-only link, or export to PDF, Word, HTML or Markdown.
- 06
Guide me
Walk a colleague through it one step at a time, in a player or on the live site.
Stages 1 and 2 live on the Capture page, 3 and 4 on Edit, 5 on Share, and 6 on Guide Me.
04Questions
The short answers
What can Chronika record?
A browser tab, through the Chrome and Edge extension, and any window or screen on Windows, through the Windows app. Both add to the same library of guides.
Is the AI write-up required?
No. Without an AI provider, recordings still get sensible titles and step text. With one, a finished recording is written up for you, and the guide page offers a write-up you can review, apply and undo.
What happens to passwords?
Password fields are detected and blurred in the screenshot before upload, and the text typed into them is not recorded. If a picture cannot be made safe, it is left out. Look over a guide before you share it.
Who can see my guides?
Members of the workspace, with a role of owner, admin, editor or viewer. Anyone else sees a guide only if its author turns on a public read-only link.
Can I take a guide out of Chronika?
Yes. Export it as PDF, Word, HTML or Markdown.
What does it cost?
See pricing for the plans.
