24 alternatives to Open Rewind – POC for audio and screen and video streaming to S3

Built using the efficient-recorder command-line utility, it enables users to record their… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

An open source approach to locally record everything you view on your Apple Silicon computer. Note: Relies on Apple Silicon, and configured to only produce Apple Silicon builds. I think the idea of recording everything you see has the potential to change how we interact with our computers, and believe it should be open source. Also, from a privacy / security perspective, this is like... pretty scary stuff, and I want the code open so we know for certain that nothing is leaving your laptop. Even logging to Sentry has the potential to leak private info.

Hey folks, we made this screen recording tool to fix one simple problem - fixing your mistakes easily when recording so you don’t have to constantly restart or stitch. I’m not particularly great at presenting and so mistakes will inevitably happen during a screen recording, and it’s worse when you’re already 5 minutes into your recording, forcing you to restart completely. Please check this out and let us know what you think!

Hey HN, we're excited to introduce Sorbay - an open source alternative to Loom for creating and sharing screen recordings. With Sorbay, you can easily record your screen, camera, and microphone all at once. It is a complete solution that comes with its own backend service, allowing you to instantly share a link of your recording as soon as it is finished. The video is streamed directly to the backend service as the recording happens to make this possible. With both founders based in different countries, we needed a tool to quickly share screen recordings to keep us up to date or to ask for…

Hi HN, I'm one of the founders of s2.dev. RePlaya (https://github.com/s2-streamstore/replaya) is a self-hosted browser session replay tool using rrweb (https://github.com/rrweb-io/rrweb). It occurred to me that a durable stream per session would be a much neater architectural foundation for much of what you'd want from such a tool. As a unique feature, it also made live tailing straightforward because the player can read from the same stream the recorder is appending to. The alternative architecture is likely an ingest firehose which is then indexed,…
