Software Tutor for Mac

Learn Figma, Xcode, or whatever your job suddenly requires. Guided software tutorials with a tutor that shows you where to click.

The job changed. Now you need Figma, or Xcode, or whatever the team adopted while you were heads-down on something else. YouTube tutorials are 20 minutes and still don't match your exact task.

A software tutor should watch what you're doing, correct the click path in real time, and let you save the lesson for next week.

GuideLayer tutor mode walks you through Mac software with on-screen pointers and voice. Save the session when you're done.

What actually works

Task-based, not course-based

Learn the export workflow you need today, not a 40-minute overview of every menu.

Live UI, not stale screenshots

Guidance reads the current screen. Vendor UI updates don't break the tutorial on day two.

Replayable tutorials

Save the session. Replay next month when you've forgotten the path.

Voice narration

Steps explained out loud while the reticle shows where to click.

Workflow examples

First week in Figma

Design team handed you a file. You need to export assets, not become a designer.

  1. 01Open the file. Ask how to export icons at 2x.
  2. 02Follow the reticle through the live Figma UI.
  3. 03Save the tutorial for the next handoff.

Xcode task outside your comfort zone

You write code daily but never configured signing or TestFlight.

  1. 01Open Xcode. Start tutor mode for the specific task.
  2. 02GuideLayer points at each panel in the current Xcode version.
  3. 03Export steps for the next release cycle.

Seasonal software

Tax tool, payroll system, conference registration portal. Used twice a year.

  1. 01Replay last year's saved tutorial or record a fresh one.
  2. 02Voice guidance through the current year's UI.
  3. 03Update the export when the vendor ships changes.

Software tutoring that works looks like someone patient sitting next to you, except it remembers the steps and doesn't need scheduling.
