A Scribe alternative when a screenshot guide is not enough.
Scribe records your screen and turns it into a numbered, screenshot-by-screenshot guide. Excellent for onboarding docs. Less useful when you need to talk through "this thing intermittently breaks on Safari" and share the video.

Different artifacts, different jobs
A Scribe is a step-by-step doc. A Screendog is a video plus transcript plus AI notes plus an environment dump, kept in a folder and shared with a link. The Scribe answers "how do I do X." The Screendog answers "why is X behaving like this on this user's machine?"
Frequently asked
Can Screendog generate numbered step-by-step notes?
The AI writes notes and a summary from your spoken narration, which often includes an ordered list of steps — but it is based on what you say, not on click-tracking like Scribe.
Can I share a walkthrough as a link?
Yes. Every recording — or uploaded video — gets a share link and an embed code, with the transcript alongside the player.
