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

  4. Replace links as you go

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

FAQ

What is the best Loom alternative for Mac?

It depends on what you make. For a polished video and a written guide from one recording, AutoEditz. For demo videos with lots of visual polish, Screen Studio. For written guides captured in the browser, Scribe.

Is there a free Loom alternative on Mac?

macOS includes screen recording: press Shift-Command-5. It records the screen but does not add zoom, guides, or share links. Scribe also has a free browser plan for written guides.

Which Loom alternative creates SOPs?

AutoEditz, Scribe, and Guidde all turn a captured workflow into step-by-step documentation. AutoEditz does it from a native Mac screen recording, so the same take also becomes a polished video.
