UIHike by Instant Technologies

Help others use what you built.

Documentation software for developers.

Make your software easier for other people to understand and use. Create setup guides, walk through a feature, and give QA or support the context they need.

Windows app. Markdown notes. Shareable guides.

Reports / for QA and support

How the new date filter works.

Start with a test account that has report access and sample data.

app.example.com/reports
  1. 1
    Choose a date range

    Select the previous month or enter a custom range.

  2. 2
    Apply and check the results

    The report shows records within the selected dates.

  3. 3
    Check an empty range

    A range with no records should show the empty state.

For QA

Check populated and empty results.

For support

Use these steps to explain the filter.

Prerequisites, steps, and expected behavior.
Illustrative feature walkthrough, not an application screenshot.

The code is only part
of the handoff.

Someone needs to configure it, test it, or explain it to a user. Give them a guide built around the job they need to do.

Feature walkthroughs
Show how a workflow behaves, where to find it, and which details support teams need to explain to users.
QA handoffs
Give testers the prerequisites, paths to check, and expected results, with screenshots to make the behavior clear.
Reproduction steps
When something fails, record the sequence and add expected versus actual behavior so a teammate can investigate.

From working software to a useful guide

Document it as
you walk through it.

Start with a setup, feature, or test scenario. Capture the workflow, then add the knowledge someone else needs to follow it.

  1. 01

    Capture the workflow.

    Record supported browser interactions or capture the relevant window. Show the settings and steps in the order someone will use them.

  2. 02

    Explain the technical details.

    Add prerequisites, configuration choices, and expected results in Markdown. Reorder steps, annotate screenshots, and redact sensitive details.

  3. 03

    Share with the right people.

    Publish a guide for your teammate, QA, or support team. Link it from an onboarding document or issue, or export HTML or Markdown.

Help the next developer get started

Make the setup
easier to repeat.

A teammate is joining the project. They need the right settings, access, and a way to check that everything works.

Combine captured screens with Markdown instructions. Explain why a setting matters and what a successful setup looks like, so they can follow the guide without reconstructing your decisions.

  • Configuration and deployment procedures
  • A first-run check with the expected result

Know what you're working with

A few useful
specifics.

Capture
Supported browser interactions, plus Windows window and region screenshots. Available context depends on the capture method.
Explain
Titles, Markdown, source links, annotations, crops, and redactions. Original screenshots are preserved.
Deliver
Published guides with audience controls, HTML, and Markdown. Review content and sharing permissions before sending.
Start
Use the Windows app locally without an account. Cloud and AI features require additional setup.

Details before the download

Good questions.

Does UIHike record every application in the same way?
No. Browser recording can preserve supported interactions, URLs, and element context. Windows window and region captures let you include other applications, but those screenshots do not carry the same browser interaction metadata.
Can I include Markdown and technical notes?
Yes. Add Markdown instructions and explanations alongside your captures. Use them to describe prerequisites, expected behavior, configuration choices, or the reasoning behind a step.
Can I redact a screenshot without losing the original?
Yes. Annotations, crops, and redactions are non-destructive. Review the rendered guide before sharing; the source project can still contain the original image.
What can I share or export?
Publish a public or link-shared guide for browser viewing, use private access where appropriate, or export supported formats such as HTML and Markdown. The Windows app also offers print/save-as-PDF and Office exports; Word and PowerPoint exports require the corresponding application installed.
Does this automatically open an issue in GitHub or Jira?
This page describes capturing and sharing a guide. It does not promise automatic issue creation or a native GitHub or Jira integration. Add the published guide link to your existing issue or handoff.
Do I need AI to use it?
No. Capture and write your own explanations without AI. AI-assisted features are optional and require the relevant setup. Local Windows use can begin without an account; see current beta pricing for availability.
