We started from the problems people report most in reviews and forums.

A Loom alternative

Copy a link to any video

Share like Loom, but the original stays on your computer as an MP4. Links are private by default: invite people, or open a link to anyone. Viewers watch and comment in the browser, without an account.

Export and share

Send your video wherever people watch

Paste a link into Slack or Notion, or upload the file wherever you post.

Small enough for chat

See the file size before you export. Draft quality or a GIF keeps it small for Discord and Telegram.

Every aspect ratio

16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 from one recording.
