How I write step by step guides and SOPs with Alt+Q and Step Counters

Hey makers, a workflow question more than an announcement.

A lot of my week goes into writing how-to docs: onboarding a new teammate, an SOP for a recurring task, a setup guide for a client. The words are quick. The screenshots are where the time goes.

Here is the flow I use in Algenius:

1. Alt+Q each screen of the process (Alt+A if the whole screen matters).

2. Drop Step Counters 1, 2, 3 on the clicks, in order.

3. Add an arrow and a short text label so nobody has to guess.

4. Copy and paste each image under its step in the doc.

Everything above is on Free at $0 forever, with unlimited screenshots and an advanced premium editor that's fully free. Pro is $15.99/mo with a 14-day trial if you want extras like AI text extraction and unlimited retention.

Windows and Linux only.

How do you write guides your team actually follows? One image per step, or one big annotated screenshot?
