100% Private & Client-Side: All screenshots and guide data stay strictly in your browser storage. No data is ever sent to external servers.

HOW TO USE GUIDEFLOW

Large Workflows (5+ Sections): Automatically splits swimlanes into balanced 3-column page groups to ensure diagrams are never cut off.

🔒 SIMPLE SECURITY & PRIVACY GUARANTEE

Your Screenshots Never Leave Your Computer: GuideFlow runs 100% inside your browser. All screen captures, notes, and PDF exports are created directly on your own computer.
No Cloud Uploads & No Account Needed: We do not save your files to the internet, and we do not track what websites you visit or what you type.
Safe Sensitive Data Blurring: When you blur a password or credit card on a screenshot, the blur happens on your screen before the PDF is created.
Digitally Signed by Mozilla: Scanned for security issues and digitally signed according to Mozilla's Add-on Signing Standards.
