Overview
Spotit is an AI screen reader that shows you how to use any app by analyzing your screen, figuring out the steps, and highlighting exactly where to click. You simply ask Spotit a question when you're stuck, and it points to the answer on screen. The entire user interface is just three keys: hold to record, release to ask. It’s designed for macOS only at launch, with a waitlist for other platforms.

Target users
Spotit is built for anyone who gets stuck in apps—designers, developers, video editors, musicians, and office workers. Beta testers include a designer who said, “I stopped googling. I just ask Spotit.” It’s especially useful for users who learn by doing and want to avoid switching to tutorials or search engines.
How to use
Download the app for macOS (14+). Hold the ⌃⌥ keys to start recording your screen, then release to ask Spotit a question. It will analyze your screen, figure out the steps, and highlight exactly where to click. You can let Spotit click for you or do it yourself.
Effect review
Beta testers report they stopped googling and just ask Spotit instead—a strong sign that the tool saves time and reduces friction. The three-key UI and voice-first privacy approach make it feel like a natural extension of your workflow rather than another tab to manage. While it’s currently macOS-only, the core concept of learning by doing is well executed for power users in creative and technical apps. The free trial lets you test it before committing.
