  JustShowMe: Annotate, Snip & Record
  Stop explaining. Just show me.
  
  JustShowMe is a local-first browser extension for instant visual communication. Draw on any webpage, capture high-res screenshots, and record tab video—all without creating an account or uploading a single byte to the cloud. Your data never leaves your machine.
  
  Perfect for bug reports, design feedback, documentation, and tutorials.
  
  🛡️ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
  Most tools force you to sign up and host your captures on their servers. We don't.
    - No Accounts: Start using it the second you install it.
    - Zero Cloud: No uploads, no backend, no third-party tracking.
    - Offline Ready: Everything runs locally in your browser.
    - Security Minded: Content scripts are only injected into a page when you click the extension icon—your browsing session is never observed without an explicit action. A lightweight background service worker handles recording coordination and license checks, but has no access to page content.
  
  ✨ FEATURES (FREE FOREVER)
  We don't hide basic tools behind "feature walls." Get the full toolkit for free:
    - Pro Drawing Suite: Freehand pen, highlighters, arrows, shapes, and text labels.
    - Smart Tools: Use Numbered Step Markers for tutorials, Blur/Redact for sensitive info, and a Laser Pointer for presentations.
    - Full-Page Capture: Automatically scroll and capture entire webpages at HiDPI resolution, annotations included.
    - Precision Snip: Crop specific regions of your viewport instantly.
    - Video Recording: Record your tab (up to 60s) as MP4 or WebM with a 3-2-1 countdown.
    - Design Guides: Toggle alignment grids and measurement tools to point out UI inconsistencies.
    - Clipboard Ready: Your snips and screenshots are automatically copied for instant pasting into Slack, Jira, or GitHub.
  
  🚀 JUSTSHOWME PRO ($6/mo or $48/yr)
  For power users who need more than the basics:
    - Unlimited Recording: Remove the 60-second cap.
    - Clean Output: No watermarks on video recordings.
    - Live Annotations: Draw, highlight, and point while recording video.
    - Pause & Resume: Full control over your recording flow.
    - GIF Export: Convert your clips into lightweight, shareable GIFs.
  
  🛠️ HOW IT WORKS
    - Click the JustShowMe icon in your toolbar.
    -Annotate using the floating toolbar.
    - Save via Full-Page, Snip, or Record.
    - Paste your result directly into your workflow.
  
  🆕 WHAT'S NEW (v1.2)
    - Emoji stickers: New sticker tool for quick visual callouts
    - Move tool: Select, reposition, and bulk-delete annotations after placing them
    - Text tool:  Size presets, proper baseline, resize, and newline support
    - Video trim editor: Trim your recording before saving, with Save / Save Trim / Discard options
    - Minimize to pill: Collapse the recording toolbar to a compact pill while recording continues
    - Trial & licensing system: Built-in trial and LemonSqueezy-powered Pro upgrades
    - Settings updates: Organised settings and added more quality of life settings to customise the toolbar.

  STOP EXPLAINING. JUST SHOW ME.
  
  JustShowMe is the ultimate private screen recorder and screenshot annotation tool. Effortlessly draw on and capture your screen, record high-quality tab video, and add professional image markups without ever creating an account. 
  
  Perfect for developers, QA testers, and designers who need a fast, local-first alternative to Loom or Awesome Screenshot, or a modern browser-based alternative to Snagit or Skitch.

  Stop explaining. Just show me.
  
  Draw on any webpage, capture full-page screenshots with annotations, snip regions, and record tab video — all without creating an account or uploading a single byte to the cloud. Your data stays on your machine.
  
  Perfect for bug reports, documentation, tutorials, and presentations.
  
  PRIVATE BY DESIGN
  
  JustShowMe is built local-first. No account required. No cloud uploads. No analytics. No tracking pixels. Everything runs in your browser and saves to your machine. We can't see your data because it never leaves your device — not even once.
  
  Unlike other screenshot tools, we don't require you to sign up, store your captures on our servers, or route your data through third-party cloud services. Your screenshots and recordings are yours.
  
  FEATURES (ALL FREE)
  
  Drawing Tools
  Freehand pen, highlighter, arrows, rectangles, circles, text labels, numbered step markers, blur/redact tool, and laser pointer. Choose from 9 colours, adjust stroke thickness, and toggle shape fill. Every annotation tool is free — no feature walls in the toolbar.
  
  Full-Page Capture
  Scroll-captures the entire page at HiDPI resolution and composites your annotations on top. The result is automatically downloaded and copied to the clipboard.
  
  Snip Tool
  Select any rectangular region of the viewport. Your annotations are included in the cropped output.
  
  Video Recording
  Record your tab as MP4 or WebM. A 3-2-1 countdown gives you time to prepare, and a timer shows elapsed recording time. Free users get 60 seconds per recording.
  
  Laser Pointer
  A glowing red dot with fading trails — ideal for screen sharing and presentations. The cursor is rendered at native pointer rate for smooth tracking even during tab capture.
  
  Alignment Guide/Measure/Grid
  Tools to help alignment highlighting. You will be easily able to show where alignment or design issues appear.
  
  Move & Undo/Redo
  Reposition the last annotation with the move tool. Full undo/redo history for all drawing actions.
  
  Clipboard Integration
  Screenshots and snips are automatically copied to the clipboard for quick pasting into documents, chats, and issue trackers.
  
  PRO FEATURES ($5/month or $50/year)
  
  Unlimited recording length — no 60-second cap
  No watermark on recordings
  Pause & resume recording
  Live annotation while recording — draw on the page during capture
  GIF export — turn recordings into shareable GIFs
  
  HOW TO USE
  
  1. Click the JustShowMe icon in the Chrome toolbar
  2. Pick a drawing tool and annotate the page
  3. Use Save All for a full-page screenshot, Snip to crop a region, or Record to capture video
  4. Press Escape or the close button to dismiss the toolbar
  
  PRIVACY
  
  JustShowMe does not collect, transmit, or store any user data. All processing happens locally in your browser. The extension only activates when you click its icon — it does not inject scripts until explicitly invoked. No data is sent to any server. No analytics are collected. We have no backend, no database of your captures, and no way to access your content.
