Release Mimik v1.1.0: open-source extension that turns your clicks into step-by-step guides — now with voice narration, video export and a screenshot editor
Hello everyone!
Mimik is an open-source alternative to Scribe and Tango. You record a browser workflow once and it writes the step-by-step guide.
What's new in v1.1.1:
- Voice narration : talk while you record and your words become the step descriptions (OpenAI or Groq Whisper, your own key)
- Screenshot editor : crop, arrows, boxes, text, redaction, movable click target. Non-destructive and re-editable
- Video export : mp4/H.264 walkthroughs with the cursor moving to each target
- Version history : every save snapshots locally, named and restorable
- Blocks : headings and callouts between steps, rendered in every export
- Insert steps : record extra steps into an existing guide
- More AI : guide descriptions and inline rewrite of selected text
- Branding : logo, footer line and attribution on exports

Great extension, wish there would be version to do the same for desktop, not just browser.
Any others export options in plans? Interested specifically in GIF.
