IT documentation that captures itself
IT teams configure the same systems, provision the same accounts, and troubleshoot the same issues week after week. Getting all of that documented, with screenshots, takes three times longer than the work itself. UIHike records the process while you run it. Every click becomes a numbered step with a screenshot and the URL it was captured from. When the process is done, the documentation is too.
Ideal for: IT administrators, sysadmins, and IT team leads writing runbooks, change logs, and software SOPs.
Your IT runbooks are already out of date
IT documentation fails for one reason: it takes too long to write. Screenshots get staged. Steps are written from memory after the process runs. By the time the runbook is published, the UI has changed and the steps are in the wrong order. Someone follows it, gets stuck at step 4, and calls you anyway. The documentation failed the one test that matters.
Written after the fact
You run the process Monday. You write the runbook Friday. The screenshots are staged and the steps are reconstructed from memory.
Stale within months
The portal UI changes. A menu moves. The runbook is wrong at step 3 and nobody updates it until someone calls you.
Missing context
A text description says 'navigate to the admin panel.' The reader doesn't know which admin panel, which tab, or what the page should look like when they arrive.
Record the runbook while you run it
UIHike captures every click as a numbered step with a screenshot and the URL. No staging, no reconstruction, no memory required.
Open UIHike and start a new project
Before you begin the IT process, open UIHike and create a new project. Give it a descriptive title: the project name becomes the runbook title in the shared walkthrough.
Work through the process normally
UIHike captures a screenshot at every click: the page state, the URL, and the exact element you interacted with. You don't slow down, stage anything, or think about documentation. Run the process the way you actually run it.
Add notes for what screenshots can't show
After the recording, review the auto-captured steps. Add notes for context a screenshot doesn't capture: why this approval matters, who to contact if a status shows an error, what to do when the process deviates from the standard path.
Redact sensitive data before sharing
Use the redaction tool to draw over any password fields, account numbers, internal IPs, or client names. The redaction is a non-destructive layer; the original is preserved on your device.
Publish and share the link
Publish the walkthrough and share the URL with your team. Recipients open it in a browser with no account required. Or export to PDF, Word, or Markdown if your team uses a wiki or compliance archive.
What makes UIHike different for IT teams
Any Windows application
Capture Active Directory, Windows Server Manager, Azure portal, desktop tools, PDFs, and browsers in a single walkthrough. No separate recordings per application.
Screenshot and URL at every step
Each step shows the before-state screenshot and the exact URL. The reader knows which page they're on and what it looked like before they needed to act.
Redaction built in
Draw over passwords, account numbers, IP addresses, and client names before sharing. The redaction layer is non-destructive and takes seconds per screenshot.
No account for readers
Share a link and anyone on your team opens it in a browser, immediately. No UIHike account, no app install, no IT approval needed for the reader.
Record your first runbook in the time it takes to run the process
Download UIHike free, open it before your next IT task, and let the recorder capture every step. The runbook is ready when the process is done.

Can UIHike document desktop Windows applications, not just web browsers?
Yes. UIHike records any window on Windows: browsers, File Explorer, Active Directory, Windows Server Manager, desktop apps, and PDFs. You can capture every step of an IT process in one walkthrough regardless of which application it involves.
How do I share an IT runbook with my team?
Publish the walkthrough in UIHike and share the link. Recipients open it in any browser with no account required and no app install. You can also export to PDF, Word, or Markdown if your team prefers a file attachment or wiki page.
Can I redact sensitive information before sharing?
Yes. UIHike's redaction tool lets you draw over any area of a screenshot: passwords, client names, account numbers, internal IP addresses. The redaction is a non-destructive layer, so the original screenshot is preserved on your device while the shared version shows only what you intended.
What is the difference between UIHike and a screen recording?
A screen recording is a video: difficult to scan, no indexed steps, no clickable URLs. UIHike produces a step-by-step document where every action is its own numbered entry with a screenshot and the URL it was captured on. Readers can jump to any step, read at their own pace, and scan the full list before starting.
Can UIHike export to PDF for compliance records?
Yes. Export any walkthrough to PDF, Word, or Markdown from the toolbar. The PDF includes all steps, screenshots, and any annotations you added. This makes it straightforward to attach runbooks to change requests or store them in a compliance archive.
Your next IT task is also your next runbook
Open UIHike before you start, record as you go, share when you finish. No separate documentation time required.
