AI that turns real workflows into step-by-step guides
StepShot is an AI-powered documentation tool that turns real on-screen workflows into polished step-by-step guides as you work. It captures clicks and typing; local AI frames screenshots, writes instructions, and explains which actions to keep or skip. Edit, annotate, reorder, and redact every step, then export to PDF, Markdown, or HTML. It runs locally on your Mac with no account or product telemetry, while optional cloud AI polishing uses your own OpenAI-compatible provider.
