Cap

Cap is a modern, open source alternative to Loom built for teams that want async video communication without the subscription cost. Record your screen with a click, get a shareable link instantly, and send it anywhere.

Built with Tauri and Rust for native performance, Cap is lightweight (~10MB) and snappy compared to Electron-based alternatives. It supports webcam overlay, custom backgrounds, and a clean viewer experience for recipients — no account required to watch.

Cap offers a free self-hosted option as well as a cloud-hosted tier, making it suitable for both privacy-conscious teams and those who want zero infrastructure to manage.
