Howflow Beta Extension

Howflow is an easy and powerful tool to create step-by-step guides.

It captures every action made in your product while you work like mouse clicks and keystrokes and automatically generates how-tos in seconds.

And yes, the demos created by you can be easily shared with your teammates or clients.

Our Google Chrome extension will work on top of your website and record your clicks and keystrokes as you proceed chronologically. After you stop recording, it will automatically create a guide including the screenshots of the screens and the texts typed during that time.

Once the recording is ready, you can customize it by zooming in/out the screenshots or adding annotation texts.

That’s it! You are all set to start sharing this demo with anyone with an easily shareable link.
