A Marker.io alternative when the issue needs a recording, not a screenshot.
Marker.io lives inside your website as a feedback widget your visitors click. Screendog lives in the browser tab you already have open — hit record, or drop in a video you already have, get an automatic transcript, and share the link. No embed, no widget rollout, no per-seat math.

Two different capture models
Marker.io is built for collecting feedback FROM other people — clients, stakeholders, and testers who click a widget embedded on your staging or live site and mark up a screenshot. Screendog is built for the person who found the issue to explain it themselves, out loud, on video. If your bottleneck is "our clients need an easy way to flag issues on the website," Marker.io is the right shape. If your bottleneck is "my own team keeps sending one-line messages with no context," that is Screendog.
What Marker.io does that Screendog does not
Marker.io has a no-code WordPress plugin and an embeddable widget for non-technical reporters. Screendog has neither — there is nothing to embed on your site. Screendog records the browser tab directly (or transcribes a video you upload) and gives you a shareable playback page instead.
What Screendog adds
Every Screendog recording carries a full Whisper transcript, and the AI auto-writes notes and a summary so you never start from a blank page. Recordings drop into folders you name, and each one gets a link and an embed code you can paste anywhere.
Frequently asked
Does Screendog have an embeddable feedback widget like Marker.io?
No. There is nothing to install on your site. Screendog records the browser tab directly using the native Screen Capture API — or you upload a video file — and shares it as a playback page. It is meant for your team, not for collecting widget feedback from anonymous site visitors.
Can I upload a video I already recorded elsewhere?
Yes. Drop in an existing local video file and Screendog transcribes it, writes notes, and sorts it into whatever folder you choose — same as a fresh recording.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some teams keep Marker.io as the public widget on their marketing site and use Screendog internally for narrated walkthroughs and share links.
