HOW IT WORKS

How-to guides, without writing a single step.

Start recording, do the task once, then share. Steppr turns it into a guide with screenshots, highlights and descriptions.

  1. 1RecordStart from the menu bar or with one shortcut, from any app on your Mac.
  2. 2Do the taskWork the way you always do and talk it through. No scripts, no retakes.
  3. 3ShareExport a PDF, images or video, or pin the guide right onto a website.
FEATURES

Everything you need, from first click to finished guide.

Clicks, typing and shortcuts

Every click, keystroke and shortcut becomes a named step, using the real button and field names.

Highlights, shapes and notes

Draw freehand, add circles, boxes and text, show the mouse path, or swap in the before or after frame.

Say it instead of typing it

Your narration becomes step text, and the mic next to any description lets you dictate more.

Rearrange and fill gaps

Drag steps into order, then add more by capturing a new shot, picking recorded frames or uploading images.

PDF, images or video

Pick a format, name the file and download. Word, PowerPoint, HTML and more are on the way.

Private by design

Transcription and step writing run on your Mac. Your screen and voice never leave it.

PIN GUIDES TO WEBSITES

Put the guide right on the button it explains.

From the Steppr icon in your menu bar, choose Pin a guide, click any button, link or field on a website, and pick a guide. Next time, Show pinned guides highlights every pinned element. One click opens the guide in Steppr or as a PDF.

Why is Steppr so cheap?

Because there’s no cloud behind it. Recording, transcription and step writing all run on your Mac, so we don’t run servers that store your recordings, and there’s nothing to bill you for every month. Cloud-based guide makers have servers to run, which is one reason they charge per person, per month. Steppr doesn’t.
