Replace Loom + Notion for Documentation: One Tool That Does Both

Loom records, Notion stores — but neither converts your recordings into structured docs. Docfai replaces both for teams that need documentation, not just videos.

The Problem with Using Loom + Notion Together

Loom is for recording. Notion is for storing. But neither converts your recordings into structured written documentation.

Here's what actually happens: you record a Loom, share the link, and watch it get ignored. Text-based docs are searchable, scannable, and embeddable. Videos aren't.

So you end up recording in Loom and then rewriting the same thing in Notion by hand. Two tools. Double the work. Still outdated two weeks later.

What Teams Actually Need

Documentation that is: - Written (not just video) — so it's searchable and scannable - Generated from recordings — so it takes minutes, not hours - Editable — so you can add context or remove steps - Exportable — so it works anywhere

Loom gives you the recording. Notion gives you a place to paste. Neither generates the doc for you.

How Docfai Replaces Both

Docfai is a screen recorder that automatically outputs written documentation.

You record your workflow. Docfai captures every step and generates a numbered guide with annotated screenshots. You get both the recording and the written doc from one tool, in one step.

**What replaces Loom:** Docfai's built-in screen recorder. Same quality, same ease. But the output isn't just video.

**What replaces your Notion copy-paste habit:** The auto-generated step-by-step guide. It's already written, formatted, and ready to share or embed.

The Output

From one Docfai recording, you get: - A structured step-by-step guide with numbered steps - Screenshots at each action, auto-annotated - PDF export for formal SOPs - Shareable link for quick distribution - Embeddable HTML for Notion, Confluence, or any wiki

What Teams Save

  • No more recording in Loom and writing in Notion separately
  • No more outdated video walkthroughs with no written equivalent
  • No more "let me just record a quick Loom" that becomes 7 orphaned videos nobody can find

One tool. One recording. Written docs + video output.

Try It (No Account Required)

Record a workflow in Docfai and see what it generates. Takes under 5 minutes to get your first guide. Your data stays local — nothing is uploaded during the process.
