GuideYou helps you create simple visual step-by-step guides your family can follow without calling you every time. Upload screenshots, highlight what to tap, and share guides in a family workspace. Works on any device, supports feedback when screens change, and stays signed in for easy access. Explain things once and let others follow anytime.
A few months ago I realized I was basically doing tech support for my parents every other night.It was always the same:
“TV is not working”
“How do I log into my bank?”
“Why does this look different?”
I tried everything - screenshots, phone calls, even writing steps in notes but nothing really stuck, they were always lost somewhere and... a couple of weeks later, same problem again.
So I built GuideYou - a simple way to create step-by-step visual guides that anyone can follow.
Now instead of explaining things repeatedly, I just create a guide once and my parents use it whenever they need.
So basically, my parents are now my QA team 😄
✨ What GuideYou does
- Create visual step-by-step guides - Upload screenshots/photos and highlight exactly where to tap
- Interactive guidance - Use glowing hotspots and simple instructions
- Family workspace - Share guides with family members (Admin / Editor / Viewer roles)
- Real-time feedback loop - “This doesn’t look right” button sends feedback instantly
- Works on every device - It’s a web app - you can even add it to your home screen like a native app
- Stay signed in - No constant logins — designed for non-technical users
- Private by default - Guides are only visible within your family
- Public guide library (small but growing) - Share useful guides with others
- AI asset generation - Generate visuals for guides when screenshots aren’t enough
💡 Why I built this
The real problem isn’t explaining something once.
It’s explaining the same thing over and over again.
GuideYou turns that into:
explain once → reusable forever
🎯 Who it’s for
- People helping parents or grandparents with tech
- Families supporting each other
- Anyone tired of repeating instructions
- Non-technical users who need simple guidance
🚀 What I’m looking for
I’d love feedback on:
- onboarding & first-time experience
- guide creation flow
- clarity of instructions
- anything confusing or unnecessary
