What it does
Documenting a workflow means screenshots, cropping, arrows, and typing out every step. StepGrab does it for you: hit record, do the task once, and every click comes back as an annotated screenshot with the step already written. Native Mac menu bar app, on-device, no account, nothing uploaded. Export as GIF, PDF, MP4, clickable HTML, Markdown, or vertical video — one recording, your brand color. Free tier is real. Pro $2.99/mo, $12.99/yr, or $44.99 once.
Create SOPs & step-by-step guides automatically on your Mac — 100% offline. Pixel-perfect window captures, menus & dropdowns included.
Turn any process into a professional Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) or tutorial. StepGrab captures your screen at every click, adds numbered arrows, and generates the guide automatically — 100% locally on your Mac. Just start recording and click through your workflow. Every click becomes exactly one step — frozen at exactly the right moment. Every step is a true-to-Mac screenshot: the floating window with rounded corners and shadow — no desktop background, no menu bar, no clutter. Open menus, submenus, and system pickers are captured reliably — even when your click is the one that closes them. Numbered arrows land precisely where you clicked — in your color, size, and style — so your…from stepgrab.net

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
