A Screen Studio alternative when you need a transcript, not a cinematic edit.
Screen Studio makes beautiful product demos with auto-zoom and smooth cursors. Screendog skips the editing entirely and turns the recording — or a video you upload — into a transcript, AI notes, and a share link, organized in folders.

Two different jobs
Screen Studio is for the polished 90-second product demo your marketing team posts on social. Screendog is for the 90-second walkthrough you want transcribed, annotated with AI notes, kept in a folder, and shared with a link. We do not compete on cinematic polish; Screen Studio does not compete on transcripts and organization.
Cross-platform
Screen Studio is Mac-only. Screendog runs in any browser with the Screen Capture API — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave, Arc — on Mac, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS. Already have footage from another tool? Upload it and Screendog transcribes it for you.
Frequently asked
Can Screendog produce polished demos?
You get the raw recording, a transcript, AI notes, and a share link. There is no auto-zoom, smooth-cursor, or background editor. For polished marketing video, use Screen Studio or Loom.
Can I upload a Screen Studio export into Screendog?
Yes. Upload the video file and Screendog transcribes it, writes notes, and drops it into whatever folder you choose.
