Capture any app - not just browsers
Our desktop app records Excel, SAP, Oracle, and any application on your computer. Not limited to browser tabs like other tools.Your documentation tool only works in the browser
Most screen capture and documentation tools are browser extensions - great for web apps, useless for everything else.But your real work happens in Excel spreadsheets, SAP, Oracle, and dozens of other enterprise applications that live outside the browser.You're left with manual screenshots and written instructions for the workflows that matter most.What if you could document everything on your screen?
Excel. SAP. Oracle. Finally captured.
Beyond the browser. Into every app on your desktop.
Glitter's desktop app records any application on your computer - everything browser extensions can't reach. Switch between programs seamlessly while everything flows into one continuous guide. Free on macOS 12.3+ and Windows 10+.

This software is mind-blowing! After 2+ months, it's an invaluable asset to my company. The transcription quality is out of this world, and the new image editing tools are so fluid and better than [competitor name redacted]. ...you've saved me so much time; I'm elated and highly anticipate subscribing for another year!

Our company has asked each department to use AI tools to increase productivity, and this has made a huge difference. One of our leaders had originally sent a link to check out Glitter AI, and we love it! We're now using it for clients as well as internal staff.

This is exactly the documentation solution that we've been looking for. Every software system requires operating instructions, and you make them so easy to create! It's perfect for employee training purposes.

Glitter is really cool! The step-by-step guide it created was exactly what we needed for our corporate Salesforce setup, which was a literal mess. Just having a video isn't great because it's a nightmare to update all the fields for billing. This tool is saving us so much time!

This is amazing! I just used the desktop app to make a quick guide for a Photoshop tool that I can use in my class. It would have taken me at least 30 minutes before and I just did it in about 5 minutes. Thanks for such a great tool!

I tested 2 products today to solve the problem of rapidly creating 60+ articles to onboard our customers, and Glitter AI is excellent! It's really easy to use and edit. The output is so easy to import into our CMS for our Knowledge Hub; it's fantastic.

Really love this product! We use Guru for documentation at our company. With Glitter, I can do a quick walkthrough, and it creates a guide that can be pasted right into Guru, which saves us from undocumented tasks.

So far, I'm liking Glitter a great deal; it's very intuitive and useful. Our school district has an old method for online help for our student information system. Glitter is a great way to save many, MANY, person-hours of work, and our IT person is excited about it too!
