24 alternatives to Capme
Hi HN, I built Capme because I passionately hate meetings (80% of that is just wasted time), but screen recorders either cost $18/month, add watermarks or I can't convince Janet in accounting to install any software whatsoever. I just wanted something simple that everyone can use without signups, basically the excalidraw of video recording. So that's exactly what I set out to build: Capme is a free screen recorder, no accounts needed, no time limits, no watermarks, no cloud uploads. You choose a background, add a logo, and hit record. If you feel like you need it, write a script in the…

Hi HN, I've been working on this project for the last 5 months, inspired by Screen Studio but runs 100% in the browser. Here is a demo of the editor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7-etsFZgPI One of the big challenges of using the browser is getDisplayMedia, the API for recording screens, doesn't provide mouse coordinates for security reasons. Mouse coordinates are important for auto-focus animations. So I trained a YOLOv11 model to detect mouse cursors and I run inference in real time while you record. Also, I created my own Remotion-style renderer because I started with…

I struggle with time blindness and kept missing client Zoom calls. MacOS notification banners appear for 5 seconds and vanish...my brain can't hold onto them. I spent 2 months building a solution. What it is: Chime shows full-screen alerts that physically interrupt whatever you're doing. It's impossible to miss. Technical details: - Built entirely in Swift/SwiftUI using Cursor. - Uses EventKit for Calendar + Reminders integration - Todoist REST API v2 for task sync - All data stays local—no cloud sync How it works: - Syncs from Calendar, Apple Reminders, and Todoist every 1-30 min (This…

YoRecord▲7Hey HN, I’m a PM who just wants to show teammates where things break / give feedback without paying $15–$30/month for Loom, Tella, or Screen.studio. Most of the time all I need is: click record, talk, hand over a link. So I built YoRecord.com for two simple reasons: 1. Save time—no installs, no Google-OAuth dance 2. Save money—recordings are free, HD, and downloadable in one click. Open the site, pick a tab or your whole desktop, talk through the issue, hit Stop. Now you can already get a link for sharing, this will upload the recording to cloud. Or you can download as MP4 - in…

Hey everyone! We launched the first version of Cap earlier this year. It wasn't great. We had tons of feedback. A couple of months ago we started rebuilding Cap from the ground up (Tauri V2 + SolidJS). We're now focused on being local first. Cap is 100% free to use locally. New features include a powerful editor, screenshots, hotkeys and just overall a much better experience. Would love for you to test it out - appreciate you! Cheers, Richie

Hi everyone, I made this app Demo Scope lets you record or stream any mobile website with your face on screen and touch indicators showing every tap. I built it because I needed to demo my own side projects and hated the OBS/desktop setup. Load your site in the app, hit record, done. Or stream straight to Twitch/YouTube. Free to try: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/demo-scope/id6755395174 Would love feedback if anyone tries it. I made a landing site centered around mobile demos for professional projects, but my main use case honestly has been Twitch…
