LoomFree — Lightweight screen recording with links

No install, no time trap, downloadable browser screen recorder

Problem

People use Loom for quick video notes, but the free plan caps recordings at 5 minutes and blocks downloading your own videos, while paid plans start at $180/user/year. Many just want the shortest path: record screen, get a link.

Solution

A pure browser recorder: open, record screen and camera, stop, and get one finished video with a shareable link and downloadable original. No editor, no meeting features—just the shortest path done well.

Users

Remote collaborators, support and sales teams, teachers, indie developers

MVP

In-browser screen + camera recording; auto-composed single file on stop; expiring share links; one-click download of the original; record without signup, manage history after login

Revenue

Free tier caps recordings at 10 minutes with a watermark; one-time purchase or low-cost subscription unlocks no-watermark, custom domain and team space

Why now

MediaRecorder and WebCodecs are stable across major browsers, object storage and CDN are dirt cheap, and demand for Loom alternatives keeps growing as prices rise.
