It already knows the app
One shortcut, over whatever is in front — the bar names the app it is reading before you type a word. Your work stays there, untouched, behind it.
Never leave the app you're in
Press ⌥Space — ask about the app you're already in.
No switching to a browser, no pasting screenshots into a chatbot, no losing your place. Guidelet reads whatever is on your screen, gives you the right amount of help, and draws a box around the exact control you need — on top of the app itself.

How it works
One shortcut. One box. Zero hunting.
The box lands on the control
Not a description of where the button is. A box on the button, numbered in the order you touch it.
Executable tutorials
One question, the right amount of help
An answer when it is simple. A walkthrough when it is not.
Ask naturally. Guidelet works out whether the task needs one highlighted control or a route with several actions — you do not have to choose a mode first.
One answer and one box
For a single action, Guidelet answers directly and marks the control to use.
See the route before starting
For a longer task, it builds the actions on the fly and shows what the walkthrough will cover.
Move one action at a time
Start the route when you want guidance. Guidelet highlights the current action and checks the screen before moving on.
Stays out of the way
It docks beside your work.
Your app keeps its window and stays usable. The answer takes the side, the box stays on the button, and you carry on in the document you were already in.
Can I make it less strong?
Yes. After this step, drag Saturation in Basic to the left. The look stays.
Follow-ups ask about the current step — without leaving the app or losing the boxes already on screen.
Works in anything you can see
It doesn't know CapCut.
It reads screens.
Nothing here was built for a video editor. The same thing that finds a button in Word finds one in CapCut, Blender, or software with twelve users — because it looks at your screen the way you do.
Microsoft Word
Excel
PowerPoint
Photoshop
Illustrator
Figma
Blender
Premiere Pro
DaVinci Resolve
CapCut
Ableton Live
Logic Pro
Xcode
VS Code
Finder
System SettingsNo plugins. No per-app setup. Nothing to integrate.
Guidelet reads pixels, not APIs — so it works in anything you can see, including the app nobody has written a tutorial for.

Why it feels different
Four context switches — or none.
Getting unstuck today
- Leave the app.
- Screenshot it, open a browser, paste it into a chatbot.
- Read an answer that names a button you now have to hunt for.
- Switch back. Find your place again. Scan the toolbar.
Four context switches to press one button.
With Guidelet

- Ask in plain words.
- The box lands on the real button, in the real window.
- You never looked away.
Zero context switches. You never looked away.
Beyond the answer
Everything else it keeps track of.
A history per app
Questions stay filed under the app you asked them in, so Word answers never mix with CapCut ones.
Save as a lesson
Keep an answer and its boxes for later. Reopen it the next time you need the same steps.
Select an area
Drag a box around one panel and ask about that alone, instead of the whole screen.
Web when it helps
It searches on its own when the app is niche, and lists the sources it used under the answer.
Share or download
Send an answer with its highlighted screenshot to someone else, or save it to disk.
Follow-ups in place
Ask the next question without leaving the app or losing the boxes already on screen.
Privacy
Privacy, without surprises
What Guidelet sees and where it goes.
Guidelet needs a view of the screen to answer a question, but that does not mean continuous recording. You decide when a capture happens.
