FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

No. StepGrab runs entirely on your Mac. Screenshots, recordings, and exports stay on your device — nothing is uploaded, analyzed, or shared without your explicit action. No account is required to use the app.

StepGrab is free to try on the Mac App Store — you can record your first few guides without an account. Pro unlocks unlimited recordings, MP4 export, and every customization option, available as a yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

StepGrab runs on macOS 14.6 and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. You can download it directly from the Mac App Store — updates install automatically.

Every recording can be exported three ways: a numbered PDF guide (great for tickets and docs), an animated GIF (perfect for Slack and pull requests), or a full-motion MP4 video. Pick one, or export the same recording to all three.

Yes. After recording you can rename each step, add captions, reorder or delete steps, redact private text in screenshots, and tweak the arrow color, size, and style before exporting. Your original capture is never destructive.

Show, don't tell.

Free for your first 3 recordings. No account required.
