An open-source alternative to Loom

Screenity is the one project in our catalog listed as a replacement for Loom. It is video software with 18.9K GitHub stars. Below is how it measures against the questions people usually ask first.

Record your screen, camera and voice in Chrome, then trim and download.

Screenity lets you record quick demos, tutorials and feedback videos without installing a desktop app. Recordings stay on your device, and the extension does not require an account to record and download. It suits teams that want a simple screen recorder in the browser they already use.

  • Records a tab, area, desktop, app or camera with mic or system audio.
  • Lets you draw, add text and arrows, and blur content while recording.
  • Trims, cuts and crops recordings, then downloads them or saves to Drive.

What people use it for

Record a product walkthrough with your camera

Open the extension, choose to record a tab, a window or the whole desktop, and turn on the camera and microphone. Use push to talk to keep background noise out, and set a countdown before recording starts. An alarm can stop the recording automatically at a set time.

Point things out while you record

Draw anywhere on the page, add text, arrows and shapes, and turn on click highlighting or spotlight mode so viewers can follow the cursor. Blur any part of a page that shows private details before it appears in the video. The controls can be moved or hidden so they stay out of the way.

Tidy a recording before you send it

Open the recording in the built-in editor to trim the start and end, cut out mistakes, crop the frame or remove the audio. Download the result to your computer. If you load the extension yourself, set up your own Google Drive client ID first if you also want to save straight to Drive.
