Capture. Version. Improve.

Documentation that builds itself.

Notavi turns the work you already do into clean, standardized SOPs — kept in your own storage and improving over time, so your team’s know-how never walks out the door.

The Notavi library — folders down the left, a grid of saved step-by-step guides on the right, each tagged with a version.
Notavi duplicate review — two near-identical guides with a 96% match score.
A full guide open in the Notavi editor — title, tags, summary and numbered steps.

The task everyone puts off

The task takes minutes. The write-up takes your afternoon.

You wrap the actual work in twenty minutes. Then you open a blank page to capture the steps — and that’s the part that quietly swallows the rest of your day.

So the guide never gets written. The know-how stays locked in one person’s head, and the next person who needs it opens with a message that starts, “wait, how do you…”

Notavi takes the second step off your plate.

What Notavi does

Capture

You do the task. Notavi writes the guide.

Run through a procedure once. Notavi captures each step with its screenshot and turns the lot into a clean, numbered SOP — in minutes, not an afternoon. Rather write it up yourself? Build a guide entirely by hand; the AI writeup is a paid convenience you switch on only when you want it.

Captures only when you ask.

No keylogging. No capturing on every click. Notavi records a step only when you trigger it — with a keyboard shortcut you set yourself.

Version

Documentation with a memory.

Real procedures change. Notavi keeps every revision with a plain-language note on what changed, when, and who changed it — so a guide is always current, never quietly out of date. Reopen any earlier version to read it, or make it current again in a click.

  • Plain-language change logsWhat changed between v1.0, v1.1 and v2.0 — written in sentences, not diffs.
  • Restore any earlier versionReopen an old version to read it, or make it current again without losing the newer ones.
  • Minor & major versionsA small fix or a full rewrite — bump the right kind of version and keep the whole lineage.

Your storage, your control

Your procedures stay in your storage.

Your library lives in storage you already own — any cloud you use, from OneDrive and iCloud to Dropbox, Proton or SharePoint — never our servers. You keep control of the files, the folders, and who gets in. It’s the SOP tool your security team will actually sign off on.

  • Stays in your storage
  • Never used to train AI
  • We don’t keep your content

When you ask AI to write a guide, the captured steps are sent to the model to generate it, then discarded — never used for training. Your library stays put.

How Notavi compares to Scribe →

The Notavi library in dark theme — the same organized grid of versioned guides, kept in storage you own.

One source of truth

Never keep two of the same guide.

Search across every folder to pull up the right guide in seconds — then keep the library clean. When a new guide looks like one you already have, Notavi flags it automatically and scores how alike they are. Review the pair side by side, then merge them into one authoritative version, cross-reference them, or keep both — nothing changes until you decide.

Looks the part

Guides people actually want to use.

Export any SOP as a polished document — two-column, quadrant, or single-page — ready to hand a new hire or attach to a ticket. Open an example and read the whole thing.

The details

Thoughtful where it counts.
