RECORD WHAT YOU TAKE APART. REBUILD IT STEP BY STEP. BackStep AI gives the physical world an Undo button. Record yourself taking something apart, mark the moments that matter, organize the parts, and turn your approved sequence into a clear reverse guide. HOW BACKSTEP WORKS β’ Create a project for whatever you are building, disconnecting, moving, or servicing. β’ Record the process and tap Mark Step whenever an important action happens. β’ Review and edit the captured steps before creating your guide. β’ Organize screws, cables, panels, brackets, and components in PartMap. β’ Follow your own process backward in focused Rebuild Mode. β’ Replay the original moment whenever you need more context. BUILT FOR REAL PROJECTS Use BackStep for electronics, computers, appliances, furniture, bicycles, camera setups, holiday displays, restaurant equipment, hobby equipment, and general household projects. BackStep is not limited to one device or one category. APPLE VISION PRO Continue compatible projects in a spatial workspace. Review the reverse sequence, inspect a volumetric PartMap, and follow one rebuild step at a time with your original evidence nearby. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Projects and recordings remain on your device unless you choose to export or share them. Local processing is preferred where supported. AVAILABLE IN THREE LANGUAGES Use BackStep AI in English, EspaΓ±ol, or FranΓ§ais from the in-app Settings screen. HONEST GUIDANCE BackStep organizes what you recorded. It does not replace manufacturer instructions or qualified service guidance, and it never invents safety-critical specifications. Free includes three user-created projects; the sample project does not count. BackStep Pro offers unlimited projects and additional premium workflows through optional auto-renewing subscriptions.
