Howdock

Process documentation, on autopilot

Do the task once.
Get the guide for free.

Howdock records your clicks and screenshots while you work, then writes a step-by-step guide you can edit, redact and share in seconds. Browser, desktop, any app.

PDF export, redaction and desktop capture are free here. See how we compare to Scribe →

Built for IT help desks, ops teams, trainers, VAs and anyone who answers the same question twice.

Three steps. No writing.

01

Capture

Hit record in the browser extension, or share your screen for desktop apps. Every click becomes a step with a screenshot and a marker on what you clicked.

02

Polish

AI writes the step text. Drag to reorder, add tips and warnings, blur passwords and customer data right on the screenshot.

03

Share

Send a link, embed it in your wiki, or export PDF, Markdown or HTML. See how many times each guide was viewed.

Desktop capture without installing anything

Share a window or your whole screen from the browser. Howdock watches for screen changes and snaps a step each time something happens, so it works for Outlook, Excel, Windows Settings, terminals and any other app.

Redaction that actually removes the data

Draw a box over anything sensitive and it is permanently pixelated in the stored image, not just covered by an overlay. Free on every plan.

Already did the work? Rewind it into a guide

Turn on Rewind in the extension and it quietly keeps your last 15–60 minutes of clicks in your own browser. Finished a task and wish you had recorded it? Click Save what I just did and those steps become a guide. Nothing leaves your browser until you save.

Import the SOPs you already have

Upload a Word doc, PDF, Markdown or text file and Howdock turns it into clean, numbered steps. Headings, notes and warnings carry over, and screenshots in Word files land on the right step.

Free tools that write the first draft

Describe a process in plain English and the SOP generator builds the outline. Add screenshots later.
