How-to

Learn any Mac app without watching a tutorial

Stuck in a new app? Instead of searching help articles, ask an AI buddy. Lazur circles the button you need and walks you through each step on your own screen.

TL;DR

  • Tutorials and help articles describe someone else's screen; you then have to map it onto yours.
  • Lazur looks at your actual screen and circles the exact thing to click, then waits and shows the next step.
  • It works in any Mac app, from System Settings to design tools and admin dashboards.

Learning software usually means a YouTube video recorded on a different version, or a help article with screenshots that don't quite match your screen. You pause, squint, hunt for the button, and lose ten minutes on a two-click task.

There's a better way: ask, and have the answer drawn on your actual screen.

Why tutorials are slow

A tutorial shows you someone else's screen. You're constantly translating: their menu is in a different place, their version has a different icon, their sidebar is collapsed. The instructions are fine; the mapping is the hard part.

Being shown instead of told

Lazur, an AI buddy for Mac, skips the mapping. Hold ⌥ ⌘ and ask "how do I turn on dark mode?":

  1. Lazur looks at your screen and circles "Appearance" in System Settings.
  2. You click it. Lazur looks again.
  3. It circles "Dark".
  4. You click. It tells you you're done.

It works the same way in Figma, Notion, your company's admin panel, Xcode, or a web dashboard you've never seen. If you click somewhere else, it adapts and points at what to do from where you are.

Quick "where is it?" answers

Not everything is a multi-step task. Often you just can't find something:

  • "Where's the share button?"
  • "Where's Control Center?"
  • "Which of these is the export option?"

Lazur circles it, with a small label, so you can see it in a second, even for icons that have no text.

When it helps most

  • Starting a new job with unfamiliar internal tools.
  • Switching from Windows to Mac.
  • Rarely used settings you set once a year and forget.
  • Helping a parent or colleague: install Lazur on their Mac and they can ask instead of calling you.

FAQ

How do I get step-by-step help in a Mac app?
With Lazur, hold ⌥ ⌘ and ask how to do something, like 'how do I turn on dark mode?' It circles the first thing to click on your screen, waits until you click, then circles the next, until you're done.
Does it work in web apps too?
Yes. Lazur works on top of whatever is on your screen, including web apps in Chrome or Safari.
What if the screen changes or I click the wrong thing?
Lazur looks again after each click and adapts, pointing at what to click from where you are now.
