Record the task.
Make it a guide.

Capture screenshots, write the steps and share the result. Start with Free; features marked Pro are included with Pro, and those marked Team with Team, which also has everything in Pro.

Record

Capture the task as you do it.

Work through the process in your app. Thoth captures screenshots and writes step titles from the controls you use.

  • Click capture

    Free

    Full screen, one window or a region you draw. The screenshot is taken the moment you press, before the app reacts.

  • Steps that name the button

    Free

    Thoth reads the name of the control you clicked, so steps say Click “Save”, not Click here.

  • Typing becomes steps

    Free

    For example: Type “invoice” in “Search”. Text entered in supported fields can become instructions. Thoth does not save a raw keystroke log, and recognized password fields are excluded from typing steps.

  • Works over remote sessions

    Free

    A compatibility mode records inside virtual machines, Remote Desktop and screen shares.

  • Record a video of your screen

    Free

    Record a screen or a window, with or without your microphone, then preview and save an MP4. If Thoth closes mid-recording, the video recorded so far can be recovered for a week.

  • Make a guide from your recording (beta)

    Free

    Beta: check the steps before you share. After recording a video, choose Make a guide…: Thoth logs your clicks while it records (never your typing) and builds a step for each one, with the click marked and the control named.

  • Hotkeys and timers

    Free

    Pause, capture now, take a timed screenshot, or capture only while a key is held.

    Arrows (straight or curved), boxes, callouts, keyboard keys, icons, spotlight, magnify, crop, rotate, frames and color adjustments.

  • Reusable steps

    Free

    Keep the sign-in steps in one place. Change them once and every guide that uses them updates.

  • Find and replace across guides

    Pro

    Change a product name, link or wording in every guide at once, with a preview of each match and a saved version to undo.

  • AI writing tools

    Free

    Improve, shorten or fix any text with your own AI provider (including a local model through Ollama), or with Thoth AI credits you buy.

  • Voice dictation

    Free

    Speak a step’s description instead of typing it.

  • AI step writer

    Pro

    Titles and descriptions written from each screenshot, plus a guide summary and whole-guide translation. Pro includes 500 Thoth AI credits a month, and Free can use it with credits bought.

  • AI instructions per guide

    Pro

    Tell the AI about one guide’s audience or product names, on top of your instructions for every guide.

  • AI guide review

    Pro

    A read-through of the whole guide before you share it: unclear steps, anything missing, steps out of order, and a control called two different names. Only text goes, never screenshots, with emails, numbers and keys replaced first. Free can use it with credits bought.

  • Branching steps

    Pro

    “If you see an error, go to step 7”, in documents, demos and walkthroughs.

  • Import old documents

    Free

    Turn existing Word files, PDFs and screen recordings into editable guides.

  • AI guide from a video (beta)

    Pro

    Beta: check the steps before you share. Drop in a screen recording and AI writes the steps from the screens and what was said, an introduction too. Sensitive information is blurred before anything is sent, and you review it all before it’s applied. Uses Thoth AI, or your own AI provider (narration needs OpenAI or a compatible server).

Keep it private

Choose what you share.

Your library stays on your PC by default. No account is required to record, and there are no analytics. Optional publishing, AI, cloud and support features can send data you choose to share.

  • Automatic blurring

    Emails, phone and card numbers, API keys and password fields are found and blurred as you record, or in one click.

  • Blur, pixelate and redact

    Free

    Blur, pixelate or black out anything by hand, and spotlight or magnify what matters. Redactions are burned in on every export.

  • Search inside screenshots

    Pro

    Find the guide that shows “Billing → Invoices” even if no one typed those words.
