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.
- Set up the documented Docker installation with HTTPS and object storage.
- Record a short screen walkthrough, optionally enabling the camera and microphone.
- Share its watch link and check playback from a separate browser before using it for further recordings.
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.

What it can stand in for.
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.
