Private by default
Blur what's private and the blur becomes the image: the original pixels are deleted, not covered.
A blur you can't undo
Applying a blur replaces the stored screenshot, and the original is deleted. On every plan.
Readers don't need an account
Anyone with a public link reads the guide in any browser without signing in. Guide me asks your reader to sign in, because it runs in their own browser.

Questions.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes. 25 active guides with PDF and Markdown export, no credit card and no time limit. Free exports carry a small "Made with MariaGuides" footer.
Do people who read my guides need an account?
No. Anyone with a public link reads the guide in any browser. Guide me, which walks them through the real app, needs the free extension and an account. Share links are on Pro.
What does Guide me do?
It opens the app the guide was recorded in, rings the control to click, and moves to the next step when your reader clicks it. It runs in Chrome with the MariaGuides extension.
Can I hide private information?
Yes. Blur any area. Applying it replaces the pixels in the stored image and deletes the original, on every plan.
Which browsers?
Recording and Guide me need Chrome and the MariaGuides extension. Guides open in any browser.
