What Walkmark is

Walkmark is desktop software that records workflows and turns captured screenshots into AI-written guides, onboarding documents, and tutorials. While recording a screen or window, it can capture frames when you click, type, or scroll. Before generating a guide, you can reorder steps, blur sensitive fields, and replace frames. Exports include Markdown with an images folder, self-contained HTML, and print-ready PDF; Markdown is described for GitHub, Notion, Confluence, and internal wikis. Recording, editing, and exporting remain on your computer and work without a Walkmark account or its servers. Screenshots and prompts are sent only when you run Write, to a configured local model, API provider, or Walkmark Cloud when available. Listed AI options include Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, OpenRouter, Ollama, and custom endpoints. The Open source plan costs nothing, uses an MIT license, and has no subscription.

Who it suits

Walkmark suits teams creating customer-support material, onboarding documents, product how-tos, compliance material, or standard operating procedures. It is also suited to users who want local recording and editing on Linux, macOS, or Windows.
