Features

• A recording card that floats over the page at full width, as an alternative to the side panel, picked in onboarding or Settings
• Edit the AI prompts and add your own instructions for step descriptions and for the guide title and summary, from AI settings
• Send custom headers to your own AI server, set in Settings or onboarding and masked like the key
• Copy selected steps to another guide, or to a new one, from the selection bar
• Japanese, Korean and Traditional Chinese, with Traditional Chinese for Hong Kong and zh-Hant browsers

Bug Fixes

• Typing into a field with many attributes, such as the Google or Bing search box, no longer freezes the tab
• Short typed values are redacted from shared guides inside 「」, 『』, “” and «» quotes too

Features
- Keyboard shortcuts to start or stop recording, pause and capture a step now: Alt+Shift+1, 2 and 3, listed in Settings
- Dark mode, following the system or a choice in Settings
- Reorder steps from a contents panel instead of dragging cards
- Step numbers in video and GIF exports

Bug Fixes
- Clicking some pages while recording no longer freezes them
- Choosing an item in a menu or dropdown that closes on mouse release records a step
- A click is named after the control it hit, and clicking a field names it
- Anthropic works again for step descriptions
- A guide gets a plain title when the AI takes too long to write one
- Guide Me finds a recorded link again when it holds more text or its address changed
- Menus in Firefox stay open instead of closing straight away
- The onboarding blur preview follows every smart blur switch, including SSN, IP and MAC
- The video preview timer shows the total length instead of 0:00

Changes:

• Guides can be exported as a .mimik file and imported into someone else's Mimik
• Blurred areas are erased from a shared guide's images, and text you typed is stripped from it
• Video exports can be narrated with an OpenAI or ElevenLabs voice
• Narration keeps its full transcript, and a step can get back what you said after you edit it
• The transcript can be deleted on its own, and never leaves your browser
• Guides can be duplicated
• Recording can be paused and resumed
• Speech while recording is paused no longer lands on the next step
• Pages that load during blur mode no longer start capturing on their own
• Checkboxes and radio buttons are captured in the state you clicked them into
• Dropdown options built from ARIA roles are captured as clicks
• Typing descriptions follow the interface language
• Guide titles stay on one line
• Without an AI key, the guide title appears as soon as recording stops
• Blurs cover text to their edges
• The video player in the export preview has its own controls, with play, mute and fullscreen

Changes:

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 size

Mimik now tells you when it has updated itself, with a link to what changed.

Voice 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.

Maintenance release. The extension is now 82% smaller (1.3 MB) for faster installs and updates. Some internal dead code removed. No behavior changes.
