24 alternatives to Mool (Loom clone). Free, offline-only, no signup
Long-time HN lurker, first time poster. This is something I put together over a few days, it's a simple offline-only screen recorder with webcam compositing that works on any modern desktop browser. As much as I love Loom to avoid meetings, I don't want to pay for useless features and have my recordings essentially paywalled. I hate SaaS. With Loom's recent price increase, I thought I'd finally share it. Feedback is welcome

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…

Hey! I built an open-source Loom alternative which allows you to record your screen, webcam and mic to easily create shareable videos. Here's how to use it - Create an account with ScreenLink - Download the ScreenLink Desktop application - Record your screen & instantly share! Its built with ElectronJS for desktop and NextJS for web/APIs. I used TailwindCSS and shadcn/ui to make it look nice :D Try it out and all feedback is appreciated

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

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…

I made a simple site that allows you to upload files. It requires no sign up and 100% free. The biggest advantage is that it returns you the direct URL to your file. So you can use it to store images for MD-based forum posts. Or put in your site's . I use the Cloudflare R2 storage which offers zero egress fees. So I pay $0 of transfer costs. I added a simple anti-nsfw files check and a simple anti-malware check. Please do not try to break it. Thanks! (>‿◠)

Hey everyone, I wanted to see if I could build something like DataFa.st myself, so I made MochiAnalytics. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out. It’s got all the bells and whistles a small team or solo founder would need to track campaigns and to see which channel is driving revenue. It’s a cheaper analytics tool for side projects, indie hackers, and small apps. I honestly wish I could make it free, but it still needs servers, a database, and a backend to keep event ingestion running 24/7, so there are real costs behind it. I’m still working on it and will keep adding more features…

Built this at a Startup Weekend last November. We've been sitting on this code for months. Would love to have some people signup and throw us a little feedback. Clearly this isn't finished, but with a little crowd support, we could just wrap it up in a weekend. A few things: - Works with Youtube and Vimeo, probably a few others. - Web UI is still pretty sloppy - zero onboarding. sorry. - We have native iPhone and iPad clients that are a handful of bugs from being shipped. Anyone interested in beta testing them, shoot me an email at ddinch :at: gmail. We will beam you up via TestFlight (great…

Over the past few weekends, I have been working on this tool that helps you easily create professional product videos or design walkthroughs from rough screen recordings like Loom. It’s a one-click platform that doesn’t require any editing skills. The idea came when I had to make a product demo, which took a lot of time with scripts and retakes. So I thought it would be a great way to learn more about AI while building something I’d actually use. I’ve tried to keep it as simple as possible. Please give it a try and share any feedback.

Try it at: ssh krnl.duetbrowser.com No sign up, totally free - no download. Let me know what you think. Prior art exists (brow.sh) but I wasn't satisfied with their graphical take. I wanted the raw, old skool terminal days of the early internet - BBS, and old green phosphor library comptuers - but running the modern web, with all the bells and jingle jangle whistles (JavaScript, etc). No funding, no VC, just 100% raw terminal fun. Not sure how long the demo will last, but try it out.

Capme▲2Hi 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…

Hey there, I'm a solo dev behind KewlTools. So I'm one of those people who like to build their own tools/utilities whenever they a) want to get something done, or b) want to learn something. c) don't want to spend ages finding a utilty and going through walls of ads. I gradually built 66 tools, all free, fast, ad-free, and zero login. I (and my family/friends) use these daily, so thought some of you will find it useful! Any suggestions, improving current tools or adding new ones, please let me know.
