Latest version
Version 1.2.0
Released Sep 17, 2026 - 1.65 MBWorks with firefox 128.0 and laterChanges:
Added DeepSeek and OpenRouter as AI providers
Any AI provider can now point at your own OpenAI-compatible server
API keys are stored per provider instead of one key shared across all of them
Checking an API key lists the models that provider offers, and says when the key has no credits left
An API key can be revealed in settings, so a wrong one can be fixed without retyping it
A step description that fails now says why, instead of silently retrying
Each step shows where its description came from
Guides can be exported as an animated GIF
Simplified Chinese interface
PDF export draws non-Latin text with the system fonts, so Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters are no longer clipped
Typed passwords no longer reach the guide
Values of blurred fields no longer reach the guide
Smart Blur matches UK phone numbers, and no longer mistakes reference numbers for them
A blurred field reveals on click instead of on hover
Guide Me waits for a real change on input steps that have no saved value
Settings controls share one height and one text sizeSource code released under MIT License

Version 1.1.0
Released Aug 21, 2026 - 1.62 MBWorks with firefox 128.0 and laterVoice narration — talk through a workflow while recording and Mimik turns
what you said into the step descriptions, transcribed with your own OpenAI
or Groq key.
Video and DOCX export — a narrated mp4 walkthrough with the cursor
travelling to each target, and a Word file you can keep editing. HTML, PDF
and Markdown are unchanged.
Guide editor — crop, annotate and redact screenshots, rewrite a step with
AI without leaving the editor, add headings and notes between steps,
reorder, bulk-delete, and roll back through version history.
Recording — the element under the pointer is outlined as you work, and the
screenshot is taken before the click lands, so menus and popovers appear in
their own frame.
Also: content blocks, per-guide export branding, and a German interface.Source code released under MIT License

Version 1.0.2
Released Apr 27, 2026 - 6.91 MBWorks with firefox 112.0 and later- Restored host_permissions: ["<all_urls>"] in the manifest. Version 1.0.1 attempted to remove it on the assumption that content_scripts.matches plus activeTab would cover the same access.
- Cleaned up the source zip submitted to AMO.

Version 1.0.1
Released Apr 27, 2026 - 6.91 MBWorks with firefox 112.0 and later- Patched bundled jspdf to remove a dead reference to a cdnjs URL (used by an output mode this extension never calls). This addresses the same MV3 remote-code rule Chrome enforces.
- Removed redundant host_permissions: ["<all_urls>"] from the manifest. The content_scripts.matches: ["<all_urls>"] entry already grants the same host access in Firefox 127+, so declaring both produced a duplicate "Access your data for all websites" row in the AMO listing. Removing it leaves a single row.
- Declared data_collection_permissions: { required: ["none"] } in browser_specific_settings.gecko (required by AMO).
