The products produce different kinds of documentation.
| Topic | Loom | Scribe | Moonshot |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary output | A shared video message. | A step-by-step process guide. | A recording, with optional written draft and handoff. |
| Sharing direction | Loom documents share links, comments, captions, trim, and stitch controls. | Scribe publishes step-by-step documentation workflows. | Moonshot supports encrypted sharing and team-tool handoffs. |
| Mac use | Loom documents a Mac desktop app. | Scribe’s product pages describe current platform support. | Moonshot requires macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon. |
| When a bug needs context | Record and share the reproduction. | Use Scribe when a repeatable step guide is needed. | Record on macOS, then review a transcript-based draft before sending to Jira or Linear. |
A video can show timing and visual context that a step guide may omit. A step guide can be easier to scan and reuse. Keep both when the workflow needs both forms.
