StepShot leverages local AI on macOS to automatically transform real-time desktop workflows into customizable step-by-step guides.
StepShot is a native macOS documentation tool designed to automatically convert on-screen activity—such as mouse clicks and keystrokes—into structured, polished guides. Built with a privacy-first approach, it utilizes local AI to frame screenshots, draft step-by-step instructions, and suggest action filtering directly on the device without telemetry or account requirements. Users can review, redact, annotate, and export their finalized workflows into PDF, Markdown, or HTML formats, with optional integration for cloud AI polishing via OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
StepShot brings a compelling local-first, privacy-focused alternative to cloud-dependent documentation tools like Scribe or Tango, appealing directly to security-conscious teams and macOS power users.
- –Local AI processing ensures workflow captures stay entirely on-device without exposing sensitive operational data.

- –Support for Markdown and HTML exports makes it ideal for seamless integration into existing developer docs and SOP repositories.
- –Custom OpenAI-compatible cloud fallback provides flexible AI upgrades without forcing proprietary cloud lock-in.
