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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Glitter's desktop app and browser extension?

The desktop app captures any application on your computer - Excel, SAP, Oracle, or any software you use. The browser extension is specifically for web-based processes and works with Chrome, Edge, Arc, Brave, and other Chromium browsers. Both are included free and capture screenshots automatically as you click, with voice-to-text transcription.

Can Glitter capture any desktop application?

Yes, Glitter's desktop app captures any application running on your Mac or Windows computer. This includes Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint), enterprise software (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite), ERP systems, custom internal tools, and any other desktop software. Unlike browser-only tools, you're not limited to web applications.

What are the system requirements for Glitter's desktop app?

For Mac: macOS 12.3 (Monterey) or later, with native Apple Silicon support for M1/M2/M3 chips. For Windows: Windows 10 or later. The app has low system requirements and runs efficiently in the background without impacting your computer's performance. Screen recording permissions are required on macOS.

Can I create guides that span multiple applications?

Yes, Glitter's desktop capture seamlessly handles multi-app workflows. You can switch between applications (for example, from Excel to your email client to a web browser) and Glitter continues capturing screenshots at every click. The result is one continuous guide that documents your entire workflow, regardless of how many applications are involved.

Does Glitter's desktop capture affect computer performance?

No, Glitter's desktop app is designed for minimal performance impact. It runs efficiently in the background and only captures screenshots when you click - not continuous video recording. Most users don't notice any performance difference while recording. The app uses optimized native code for both macOS and Windows.

Is the desktop capture app included in Glitter's free plan?

Yes, Glitter's desktop app is completely free - no paywall, no trial period, no feature limitations. Many competitors charge extra for desktop capture or restrict it to paid plans. With Glitter, you get full desktop capture functionality, automatic screenshots, and voice-to-text transcription on the free plan.

Can Glitter capture enterprise software like SAP and Salesforce?

Absolutely. Glitter's desktop capture works with any enterprise application, including SAP, Salesforce desktop, Oracle, ServiceNow, Workday, and custom internal tools. This makes it ideal for creating training documentation, SOPs, and process guides for complex enterprise workflows that browser-based tools can't capture.

How do I install and set up Glitter's desktop app?

Download Glitter from glitter.io and run the installer. On Mac, you'll need to grant screen recording and microphone permissions in System Preferences. On Windows, simply run the installer and you're ready to go. The entire setup takes less than 2 minutes, and no IT department involvement is typically required.
