Explainer

Explainer is a handy little app for Mac that helps you create visual guides. Imagine being able to show someone how to do something with just pictures! It makes giving directions a breeze and cuts down on the time you spend explaining things verbally.

Easy to Use Interface

The best part? All of Explainer's features are right there in the main window, so it's super easy to navigate. Plus, when you first open the app, it gives you some useful tips on how to get started. You won't feel lost!

How to Get Started with Screenshots

To kick things off, you'll want to capture your screenshots one after another. Just use the Command + Control + Shift + 4 shortcut for that. Once you've got your shots, you can paste them into one of four panels using Command + V. Need more space? No problem! You can expand your project grid up to eight steps by hitting the “Add” button in the top left corner.

Dragging and Dropping Made Simple

Moving your screenshots around is easy too! Just drag and drop them where you want within the panels. If you need to resize an image, simply click and pinch (make sure you're using a trackpad for this). It's all very intuitive!

Smooth Snapping and Pointer Options

If you want your images perfectly aligned, press the Command key while dragging them—they'll snap right to the edges of their panel! And if you'd like a bigger pointer for easier movement, just double-click it and you're good to go.

Saving and Sharing Your Work

Once you're happy with your visual guide, you've got options! You can save it as an image on your computer or share it with friends through email or Messages. Feeling social? Post it on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, or Flickr!

A Great Solution for Visual Guidance
