What it does
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.
StepShot records Mac workflows and uses optional AI to create polished step-by-step guides, SOPs and training docs. Export PDF, Markdown or HTML.
Check the public installer, feature claims, pricing, privacy and links against the download page. Verify evidence, privacy, links and final exports before readers rely on an SOP. Compare evidence, maintenance, privacy and export needs before choosing an SOPfrom stepshot.app

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…
