Summary

How to take a release through the deploy dashboard: draining the queue, promoting the build, and posting the notes. Two things to watch for — the queue now drains itself, and the announcement needs the changelog entry, not the commit list.

Chapters

  • Where the dashboard lives
  • Draining the queue
  • Promoting the build
  • Posting the release notes

You never re-record

Filler words, dead air and false starts go automatically. Fix a sentence by deleting the words, not by starting again — and nothing you cut is gone, because every edit is a new version over an original take that stays where it was.

So, um, the first thing you do is open the deploy dashboard — you know — and check the queue has actually drained. Uh, if anything is still pending, like, wait for it before you promote.

Nine words removed. The take is untouched — put any of them back whenever you like.

The document is a real deliverable

Not a wall of transcript. Numbered steps, each with the screenshot of the moment it happened, generated from what you actually did on screen — the thing a colleague can follow without watching twenty minutes of video.

  1. 1Open the deploy dashboard
  2. 2Check the queue has drained
  3. 3Promote the build to production

Written from what happened on screen, not from the transcript.

Is this still the right order now that the queue drains itself?

Shares are places, not files

Viewers comment on the moment rather than the video, react on the timeline, and read along with captions. You see who watched and how far they got.

ThroughoutMeanwhile, on your Mac

Transcription runs on your Mac
Speech never leaves the machine to become text. No key to paste, no per-minute bill, and a privacy answer you can give a compliance team.
Search across everything you have recorded
Ask a question, get the answer with the moment it was said, cited and clickable, across your whole library.
Nothing is destructive
Every AI decision is reversible. The original take is always reachable, however much you have cut.
Nothing makes you wait
The share link is live before the AI has finished thinking. Summaries and chapters appear on the page as they arrive.

When it stops, the writing is done

Built for work that has to outlive the call

One take. Four jobs finished.

Product handoffs

Show what changed, preserve the decisions, and leave the next person with steps they can follow.

Customer onboarding

Send the walkthrough and the written procedure together, so every customer can learn their way.

Support answers

Explain the fix once and keep a searchable, reusable answer instead of repeating the same call.

Internal operations

Turn the work itself into an SOP with screenshots, owners, and action items while it is still fresh.

Local by default

Your recording stays on your Mac until you choose otherwise.

Capture, transcription, cleanup, captions, search, and export run locally. StoryView uploads an edited copy only when you create a hosted share link. The original take never leaves your library.

  1. 01

    Record locally

    The source video and audio are written to your Mac.

  2. 02

    Transcribe on-device

    Apple's speech model creates the timed transcript without a per-minute service or uploaded audio.

  3. 03

    Share deliberately

    Cloud uploads happen only after you press Share. Local Edition can publish a static page to storage you control.

Two ways to own the workflow

Choose hosted or keep it yours.

Cloud

$24.99 / month

or $199 a year · 7 days free

Hosted links with passwords or invited viewers, comments, reactions, viewer activity, and AI artifacts within a monthly allowance you can always see. Nothing uploads until you share.

Local Edition

$79 once

Every StoryView 1 update included

Every creation and editing feature, no StoryView account, your AI provider, and optional static pages on your own storage.

The Mac App Store shows the final price in your region. Cloud renews automatically until cancelled in your App Store settings; Local Edition has no StoryView hosting.

Why macOS 26

The transcript is local because the operating system finally makes it possible.

StoryView uses Apple's on-device speech model in macOS 26. That transcript powers word-level editing, captions, search, summaries, chapters, and the step document—without bundling a second speech engine or sending audio away to be transcribed.

Record it once.
