The page nobody updates
A Notion doc starts as the process and ends as a screenshot from last quarter.
Hosted guides for teams
Asterly captures your clicks as a clean step-by-step guide with annotated screenshots, then hosts it. No zip file. No “install this extension to view.”
Early access. Hosted links and team workspaces are the product this waitlist is for. There is no self-serve signup yet, and joining does not charge a card.

The gap
Internal how-tos die in Notion dumps, Loom folders, and Slack threads. A local recorder can still be the fastest way to capture the work. It stops being enough when a teammate, a contractor, or a customer has to open the result.
A Notion doc starts as the process and ends as a screenshot from last quarter.
A Loom shows the clicks once. Fixing one step means recording the whole thing again.
An export still has to be downloaded, opened, and kept in sync. The next person feels the friction.
How it works
The Chrome extension captures clicks, typing, and navigation while you do the workflow once.
Drop the extra clicks, tighten the wording, and keep the annotation on the thing that mattered.
Teammates open the guide in any browser. Invite the workspace when the guide should stay with the team.
Where Asterly fits
Scribe and Tango already host guides. Mimik already captures quickly, for free, on your machine. Asterly is the narrow bet in between: capture that fast, then a link and a small team workspace.
| Feature | Asterly | Mimik | Scribe and Tango |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capture | Chrome extension, automatic clicks | Automatic, and also on Firefox and Edge | Automatic in the browser. Desktop capture is a paid add-on. |
| Where the guide lives | Hosted. You send a link. | On your device. You export a file. | Hosted. You send a link. |
| Viewer installs something? | No | They need the file, or the extension to replay it | No |
| Team workspace | Yes | No. It is local-first. | Yes |
| Price posture | Free, then Pro from $12 or ₹999 | Free. MIT license. | Free tier, then roughly $15–25 per person |
| Source | Hosted product | Open source | Hosted products |
Mimik wins if you never need to share. Asterly wins the moment a second person needs the guide.
Asterly vs MimikAsterly vs ScribeAsterly vs Tango
Public product pages checked 19 October 2026. Scribe and Tango differ on desktop capture, seat minimums, and in-app replay. Those differences are on the compare pages. Asterly’s hosted workspace is in early access, not a live checkout.
Who it’s for
PMs, customer teams, and ops. Not a once-a-year handbook project, and not a company-wide knowledge base on day one.
Pricing, to test
$12 or ₹999 / user / month
Free covers 3 public guides, with a small Asterly mark on exports. Pro removes the mark and adds the workspace. Waitlist members get founder pricing. See the full pricing hypothesis.
