OpenLoom.

Self-hosted browser screen recording with links that viewers can open.

A new take on the workflow.

OpenLoom documents the core asynchronous video workflow: record a screen and optional webcam in the browser, process the recording and share a playback link. Its source includes recording, upload, FFmpeg composition, object storage and a public watch page. The maker explicitly says the project was built entirely through vibe coding in Cursor.

What you can switch today.

Replace Loom for recording a browser-based screen walkthrough with optional camera and sharing a playable link to another person.

  1. Set up the documented Docker installation with HTTPS and object storage.
  2. Record a short screen walkthrough, optionally enabling the camera and microphone.
  3. Share its watch link and check playback from a separate browser before using it for further recordings.
Switching caveat. The documented core is record, process, share and watch; trimming, comments and team workspaces remain outside the finished workflow. Workflow evidence

Where it falls short.

Requires an operated Linux server, Docker, a domain and HTTPS. Trimming, timestamped comments, a browser extension and team workspaces are listed as future work; transcription is not presented as a finished feature. Existing Loom libraries are not documented as directly importable. Core behavior is source-documented rather than independently runtime-tested.

Documented capabilities.

Listed in project documentation; not independently functionally tested by VibeAlt.

Maker claims AI build. The first-party README explicitly states the whole project was built with vibe coding in Cursor, covering recording, processing, sharing and deployment scripts. This is an original maker claim, not independent attribution of every code change. Inspect the evidence

Loom alternatives

An everyday Loom replacement needs to record the screen and microphone, produce a playable share link and support feedback. Check privacy settings, retention and your sharing workflow separately from headline plan prices.
