Record an onboarding tutorial an onboarding tutorial
and lead your new users
to their aha! moment
so users get it today
Click through your app once and create
a step-by-step guide users will follow
so users get it today
If a new user doesn’t
grasp your app in minutes, they almost never return
- Most users won’t book an onboarding call
– guidance must happen inside the app - Docs rarely get opened in the first session
– users need an in-product path - First value must appear quickly
– or users’ attention shifts elsewhere
or any other stuck user
Install → record → publish
your first guide in ~10 minutes
Step 1 – Install
Add one line of code. It loads asynchronously and doesn’t block your app.
Step 2 – Record
Click through your flow once. We capture each step and create clear text with a friendly voiceover.
Step 3 – Publish
Turn the guide on. Users follow the exact path you want, step by step.
You don’t get
a second first session
The Hooked framework proves it:
triggers, actions and rewards decide if users come back.
Onboarding is where you win or lose them.
Trigger
New users land on a dense screen and don’t know what to click
Action
Give them a short, guided path you can record in minutes
Reward
They finish the key steps,
get a tiny dopamine hit,
and reach the "aha!"
Investment
First win saved,
next step unlocked,
commitment deepens.
Inspired by the Hooked book

Piotr – the founder
From one founder to another
I built my last app and watched new users sign up,
hit the first screen, and leave. Docs and videos didn’t help.
This is why I built Guideful
— to fix those painful first minutes.
and learn from my mistakes
Still got questions? Good.
Fair question. I'm Piotr – I've been running a branding studio for 15 years,
delivered 100+ projects for clients in 10+ countries.
Started building apps in 2018, managed dozens of developers on multi-year contracts.
This isn't a weekend experiment – it's a real solution to a problem I personally faced.
Absolutely. We don't track or store any of your users' personal data – period.
The widget only records UI interactions when YOU initiate recording (locked to your IP).
Your users' privacy is completely protected.
Right now, yes – we're laser-focused on interactive walkthroughs.
But based on feedback, we plan to expand into more activation tools.
Our goal is a complete toolkit to improve user activation across the board.
Not yet – we specialize in interactive guides, not video explainers.
But if you need easily-created explainer videos, let us know.
We're always listening to what builders need most.
No.
The widget loads asynchronously and only activates when users need guidance.
It's under 200KB – smaller than most images on your site.
If you only change styling but keep the structure and element names,
your tutorial should still work.
If not, just record a new one — it only takes a few minutes.
Almost never – 95% of elements are identified automatically by our system.
For edge cases, we've included a simple override option
– just add a small identifier to guarantee the right element gets highlighted.
We're built to handle diverse apps, but can't guarantee
a 100% compatibility with every possible setup.
If Guideful doesn't work immediately with your app, reach out.
I'll personally investigate and either find a workaround
or honestly tell you if we're not the right fit.
That's a promise.
Honest answer: Simple workflows take minutes.
Complex apps with multiple flows need more time
– but still far less than building custom onboarding.
The key is starting with your critical "aha moment" path first.
No catch – just focus.
We do ONE thing: guide users step-by-step.
No annoying popups, no feature bloat.
Just intuitive guidance that works for any user,
regardless of age or tech skills.
Let's fix your onboarding. Today.
