Guidde alternatives
for video documentation.

What to
look for.

• Your voice or an AI voice

  AI voiceover scales to many languages; your own narration keeps the human context.

• Where recordings live

  Local-first apps keep recordings on your Mac until you publish.

• Guide format

  Check whether guides export to PDF, HTML, or Markdown for your knowledge base.

4 options,
by what you need.

1. AutoEditz

   Best for a polished video and a step-by-step guide from one Mac recording.

   • Native Mac app for macOS 26.4 or later.
   • Auto-zoom, click effects, and silence and filler word removal.
   • Generated guide with annotated screenshots; export as PDF, HTML, Markdown, or images.
   • One share link for the video and the guide. Recordings stay local until you publish.

One recording,
three results.

How AutoEditz handles a typical how-to, from recording to a shared link.

1. Record the task once

   Choose a display, a window, or a custom region and walk through the process while you narrate.

2. Let the editor polish it

   Auto-zoom and click effects keep each action in focus, and you can remove pauses and filler words.

3. Review the steps

   Check the detected steps in the Steps inspector, then choose Generate SOP for an editable guide with annotated screenshots.

4. Send one link

   Publish once. Viewers pick the video or the step-by-step guide in any browser, or you export the guide as PDF, HTML, Markdown, or images.

Switching from
Guidde.

You don’t have to move everything at once.

1. Get AutoEditz

   Install AutoEditz on a Mac running macOS 26.4 or later.

2. Allow screen recording

   Approve Screen Recording access when macOS asks. Microphone and camera access are optional.

3. Start with your next process

   Start with processes where your own voice and screen matter most, such as customer walkthroughs.

4. Replace links as you go

   Publish the new recording and swap the link in your docs, help center, or onboarding checklist.
