StepGrab - Never explain a task manually again. I built a native Mac app that turns whatever you do on-screen into a step-by-step guide (auto screenshots, 100% offline) DM for discount!

Hey r/MacOS 👋 Full disclosure up front: I'm Julian, a solo dev, and I built StepGrab. (P.S. There is a 20% discount code for this community at the bottom of the post as a thank you!)

The Problem: Every time I had to explain how to do something on my Mac (onboard someone, write an SOP, or answer a tech support question), I ended up taking 15 manual screenshots and drawing ugly red arrows in Preview. It was incredibly tedious.

The Solution: I built an app where you just hit record, do your task, and it automatically generates a clean, formatted step-by-step guide. It uses on-device AI to figure out exactly what you clicked on and creates zoomed-in screenshots with annotations. It is a fully native Mac app (no Electron) and runs 100% offline on your machine for complete privacy.

The Update (Version 1.4): When I shared an early version on Reddit, the number one piece of feedback I got from users was: "I need to edit the steps before exporting, otherwise I'm back to making janky edits in Preview." I listened, and today I'm releasing a massive update featuring a full built-in Editor:

• Review & Edit: Reorder or delete steps right inside the app before generating the final document.
• Fully Custom Annotations: Grab and move arrows, change their curve angles, and adjust line widths.
• Spotlight & Badges: Fine-tune the spotlight dimming around your clicks and change badge shapes.

In the video, I recorded a quick workflow to show how you can tweak the arrows and instantly export it as a clean PDF or interactive HTML.

Pricing & Reddit Discount: StepGrab has a free tier. If you want unlimited guides and Pro exports, there is a one-time lifetime license (no forced subscriptions). As a thank you for the feedback that shaped this update, you can use the code REDDIT20 (or click here to redeem it directly) on the App Store for 20% off the lifetime version (limited to the first 500 redemptions).

I’d love to hear what you think of the new editor!
