Fixes a crash that could quit StepGrab when you opened the editor after a recording. Nothing else changed.

With 1.5 you finish your guides in the editor before anyone sees them. • Redact sensitive areas: choose Edit > Redact Area and drag a box. The black bar is burned into every export, including what you copy or share. • Shapes: under Shapes and Redaction on the right in the editor, choose a rectangle, ellipse or circle and drag it onto the image. Border and fill come in five colors or a custom color, with thin, regular or thick lines; the fill is always slightly transparent. Shapes are burned into every export, beneath the arrow and number. New shapes are yellow, or automatically purple when your arrow is yellowish. To make something unreadable, redact it. • Hold ⌥ and drag on the image: this redacts even over an existing area. • Format sentences: bold, italic, underline, alignment, text color, highlight and lists, on the right in the editor or from the Format menu. With Pro, formatting carries into PDF, HTML and Mobile, and into the GIF and MP4 captions; Markdown keeps bold, italic and lists. • Guide language (Pro): choose one of seven languages for each guide under Design on the right. Generated sentences and export labels follow it, and it is saved in the project. Names from the screenshot stay word for word, and your own sentences stay as written. • Brand profiles (Pro): turn on Multiple profiles under Settings > General > Profile to give each client its own brand color, logo, design, guide language, and export and recording settings. • Save as a project: File > Save (⌘S) stores the recording as a .stepgrab file. Open… and Open Recent bring it back with its arrows, sentences and redactions. • New pencil at the top of the editor, next to Design: Edit brings together the sentence and the image tools. • PDF notes are now burned in and keep all formatting. You can still switch on the editable form field. The HTML card now has the same header as the PDF. • Titles: PDFs now carry the recording’s name as their title, visible in Spotlight, for example. HTML and Markdown headings show the same name instead of the window title; the window title appears only with Include Window Name. • With Pro, HTML pages and Markdown no longer end with “Created with StepGrab”. Add your own text under Design > HTML > Footer text. • Shortcuts and Siri: New Recording shows the window picker and starts once you’ve chosen. Stop Recording and Export Guide are ready too; Start Recording and Open Editor are available as actions. Export Guide also returns a ZIP when a guide consists of several files. On macOS 26 and later, also in Spotlight. • Deleting a step now asks first, and ⌘Z brings it back. You can turn the question off. • Export straight from the editor toolbar. The floating window now has an Editor button too, and the Editor button stays after an export. • Capture > Show Floating Window brings the floating window back. ⌥← and ⌥→ move the selected step. Your own sentences now also show in the HTML preview, and the GIF & MP4 preview shows each step like the finished video. • Accessibility: with Increase contrast turned on, StepGrab uses darker button colors and stronger text. The setup assistant and the Pro offer also adapt to Differentiate without color, Reduce motion and VoiceOver. • Select Window is now ⇧⌘L (was ⇧⌘W), because ⌘W closes windows. • Show me now includes a fifth sample step for trying out redaction. • Help has been rewritten and is now available in all seven languages of the app. Questions or feedback?

New: the preview window. What your recording becomes now takes shape inside StepGrab — visible before you export. • Grab the arrows: drag the number for direction and length. Drag the middle to bend the curve or flip the elbow to the other side. • Rewrite the sentences: click a step description and write your own. Clearing it restores the suggestion. • A preview per format: PDF, HTML, GIF and Mobile show what the export actually writes — not an imitation of it. • Reorder steps: sort by drag and drop, delete, and take it back with ⌘Z. • The spotlight around a click can now be resized, not just dimmed. Fixes: in the square and 4:5 formats the text card below the device ran off the canvas. A curved arrow snapped back to its old shape after you released it. The results list in the menu showed Markdown and HTML files with a video icon, and truncated "Show in Finder".

Free just got a lot less limited. • Record as many guides as you want. The recording quota is gone for good. • 15 steps per guide, whether or not you sign in — because signing in is gone too. • Every free export now carries the StepGrab mark. No account, no sign-up, nothing to delete. Pro still adds PDF, HTML, Markdown, MP4 and the mobile export, plus your own logo and file names.

New export formats: HTML as a click-through guide, Markdown for wikis and GitHub, and a portrait video with step text for Instagram, TikTok and more. One brand colour for everything: set it once, and the arrow, PDF, HTML and video all follow. A new first-run experience that walks you through your first recording. Plus a monthly plan and many fixes to step descriptions, multi-display capture and export.

Much more natural and precise step descriptions: a coherent instruction flow instead of isolated click sentences, finer position wording and more reliable text recognition — including clicks in menus and popups. Plus minor fixes.

Our biggest StepGrab update yet: • More accurate guides: better element detection, the real cursor, keyboard shortcuts & double-clicks as their own steps, scrolling shown as a hint. • Menus & dropdowns, captured right: StepGrab freezes the moment you click — even menus and pop-ups that close instantly land correctly in the shot. • On-device AI writes your step text (macOS 26). • Export: choose PDF quality, add your logo, separate light/dark appearance. Copy or share the result as a ZIP. • A new onboarding tour and comprehensive in-app Help. • Tidied-up settings and a new Liquid Glass design (macOS 26).
