Documentation software for developers.

Turn the workflow you just tested into documentation your team can use. Capture the steps and screens, add setup details and expected behavior, and share a walkthrough with developers, QA, or support.

What the next person receives

See an example of finished documentation.

This example shows documentation generated by UIHike: eight steps, a QA checklist, and screenshots of the expected results. QA can check the filter. Support can learn the feature. A teammate can repeat the path without starting another thread.

How it’s made · 1. Keep the tested path

Capture each step of a workflow.

Capture each screen as you complete a workflow. This example tests a report filter, including populated results, an empty range, and reset. Review the sequence in Gallery. The successful path and its edge cases stay in the same handoff.

Create documentation for QA, support, and developers.

A feature is ready. Now QA needs to test it, support needs to explain it, and a teammate needs to run it. Keep the workflow and your reasoning together so each person has a place to start.

Help support explain the feature: Walk through the path a user takes. Show where the controls live and why the result changes, so support has something useful to refer to.
Give QA a clear starting point: Put the test account requirements, steps, and expected results in one document. Testers can follow the scenario without piecing it together from messages.
Make the issue easier to reproduce: Keep the sequence that led to the failure and explain expected versus actual behavior. Give the next developer evidence to investigate.

Capture → explain → share

Create documentation from your workflow.

Capture a setup, feature, or test scenario while it's in front of you. Build from those steps instead of recreating the sequence and gathering screenshots afterward.

01
Capture the workflow in order.
Record supported browser interactions with available source links and context, or capture a Windows window or region. Give the reader an ordered route through the workflow.
02
Add setup details and expected results.
Add prerequisites and configuration choices in Markdown. Annotate the setting that matters and explain the expected result. Review and redact sensitive details before sharing.
03
Share a link or export a file.
Publish for the intended audience and link it from an issue or onboarding document. Export HTML or Markdown when a file fits your team's workflow better.

How it’s made · 2. Add the acceptance checks

Add prerequisites and expected results.

Add the fixture, test date, and expected counts in Markdown. The live preview shows how the checklist reads, while the step list keeps it beside the screens QA will check. If a check fails, add the actual result to the same hike.

Help the next developer get started

Document your development setup.

A teammate has the repository. They still need the application settings, prerequisites, and that small configuration choice you worked out last week.

Capture the setup and put your explanation beside each screen. Finish with a first-run check so they can see whether their setup matches yours.

Details before the download

Frequently asked questions.

Can I keep screenshots and technical explanations together?

Yes. Keep captured screens, available source links, and Markdown notes in the same documentation. Use the notes for prerequisites, configuration choices, and expected behavior so readers can follow the workflow with its context beside it.

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 documentation before sharing; the source project can still contain the original image.

What can I share or export?

Publish public or link-shared documentation 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.

How does documentation fit into our existing workflow?

Add the published documentation link to an issue, onboarding document, or handoff, or export HTML or Markdown when you need a file. You choose where to put it. UIHike does not automatically create GitHub or Jira issues.

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.
