Legacy tools aren't going anywhere. But training costs are piling up.
Your users struggle every day with applications that have no built-in help. The same questions, the same errors, the same support tickets, over and over.
Support teams saturated
Your most experienced people spend a third of their time answering the same basic questions. "How do I post a goods receipt?" "Where is this menu?" Knowledge that should be in the tool itself.
Onboarding that takes months
New hires sit through classroom training that covers 100 features. They use 10. Six months in, they've forgotten what wasn't relevant at the time. The learning curve on legacy tools is steep, and it doesn't have to be.
Critical knowledge walking out the door
Two or three people really know how the tool works. They're not going to be here forever. When they leave, all that process knowledge — the workarounds, the field rules, the undocumented steps — goes with them.
Migration isn't the answer (yet)
Moving to a new system is a 3–5 year project, a major budget, and a huge risk. In the meantime, your teams still use the tool every day. The adoption problem is real and it's right now.
Bring the help inside the tool. Not in a manual. Not in a training room.
Lemon overlays contextual guidance directly on top of your existing desktop application. Your tool stays exactly as it is. Your users get step-by-step help exactly when they need it.
Contextual, not generic
Guidance appears based on where the user is in the application. The right information, at the right step, anchored to the exact button or field they're looking at. Not a help menu. Not a PDF. Right there.
Your L&D team, fully autonomous
No developer, no vendor, no waiting. Your training or operations experts record actions in the application and publish in minutes. The shortcuts and field rules only two people know? Captured once, available to everyone, forever.
Fewer tickets. Faster ramp-up.
Users who can find help inside the tool stop calling support. New hires guided through real workflows reach autonomy faster. The same tool, measurably better adoption, with numbers you can put in front of your CFO.
Three steps. Your tool stays exactly as it is.
Lemon runs alongside your application. Nothing is installed inside your software. Nothing changes for IT. Your users see a small widget floating on their screen, always there, never in the way.
Give users instant, contextual help inside the interface
The Lemon widget appears inside your desktop application and automatically surfaces the right guides based on what the user is doing.
No more guessing, no more digging for answers. Users get relevant support and in real time.
Build desktop training with no code
Creating guidance for desktop applications is simple. With Lemon Learning's visual editor, you design step-by-step instructions, tooltips and conditional paths, all without developers.
When processes change, update your guides in minutes and publish instantly across your organisation.
Guide users step by step inside the desktop UI
Lemon Learning anchors each step directly onto the elements of your desktop application, showing users exactly where to click and what to do next.
This real-time walkthrough turns complex processes into simple, guided actions that boost adoption and reduce support tickets.

We know deployment projects involving legacy systems go through scrutiny. Here's what your IT team needs to know.
Standard installation
Lemon is deployed as a standard desktop application, using whatever distribution method your IT team already uses. No special infrastructure required.
Non-intrusive by design
Lemon sits on top of the application window. It does not modify your software, access its database, or interfere with existing processes. Your tool works exactly as before.
SSO supported
Single Sign-On is available for both the player and the editor. Users authenticate with their existing enterprise credentials. No separate account management.
Enterprise-grade security
Lemon Learning is deployed at over 200 enterprise customers across regulated industries. We are happy to provide security documentation and answer your InfoSec team's questions directly.
Desktop applications FAQs.
Does Lemon work on our specific legacy application?
If it runs on Windows and has a visible user interface, there's a very good chance Lemon works with it. The best way to find out is to show us a screenshot, we'll give you a straight answer in one conversation. We've deployed on everything from well-known ERP systems to tools built entirely in-house.
Do we need to modify our application or involve the software vendor?
No. Lemon runs alongside your application, not inside it. Nothing is installed in your software, no source code changes, no vendor contact needed. Your IT team deploys Lemon as they would any standard desktop application. The existing software is completely untouched.
Who creates the guides? Does it require technical skills?
No technical skills needed. Your L&D team, process owners, or any subject-matter expert creates guides using the Lemon desktop editor, the same no-code editor used for web applications. They open it alongside the application, record the steps, add tooltips or messages, and publish. Most users are productive in under 3 hours.
We're migrating to a new system in 2–3 years. Is it worth starting now?
Yes. Your teams will use the current tool every day, until then that's a lot of avoidable support tickets, onboarding friction, and wasted time. Beyond that, the process documentation you build in Lemon becomes invaluable input for the migration: you'll know exactly how current workflows run before redesigning them.
Is Lemon GDPR compliant? Where is data hosted?
Yes. Lemon is GDPR-compliant by design, hosted in Europe, with no exposure to the US Cloud Act. Particularly relevant for desktop deployments in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and the public sector.
How long before users see their first guides?
The technical setup is fast. The timeline is driven by content creation — how quickly your team records priority processes. In practice, most projects have first guides live within two weeks. Start with the five most-asked questions and build from there.
