StepShot Brings AI-Powered Workflow Documentation to macOS with Local Privacy

StepShot, a native macOS application launched in July 2026, automates the creation of step-by-step guides by capturing browser workflows and desktop processes, then generating professionally formatted documentation with annotated screenshots. The tool addresses a significant workflow bottleneck: traditional documentation creation typically requires 42 minutes of manual screenshotting, annotating, and writing. StepShot compresses this to approximately 4 minutes by intelligently capturing user actions via the accessibility layer and leveraging local AI to frame screenshots, draft instructions, and suggest which steps to retain or skip.
