About

Instrulio

Features
Read full description

Instrulio makes it easy to create clear step-by-step instructions that can be followed at your own pace. Create a guide by dividing an activity into simple steps. Add text, photos, video and voice to show exactly what to do. Your guides can then be shared with someone who needs them and opened again whenever they are needed. Instrulio can be used in many different situations: • Show how to use an appliance or piece of equipment • Create instructions for colleagues at work • Explain a task to students • Make routines easier to remember at home • Create visual step-by-step support • Share instructions that can be paused and viewed again Instead of explaining the same thing several times, you can create the instruction once and let the recipient go through it at their own pace. Receiving and viewing shared guides is free. You can create up to two guides for free. If you want to create more, unlimited guide creation can be unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase. No subscription is required. Instrulio is designed to make instructions clearer, easier to follow and available when they are actually needed.
