The Best Free Loom Alternative — Record, Capture & More

What is Loom?
Loom is a popular screen and camera recording tool used for creating quick video messages, tutorials, and walkthroughs. It offers cloud hosting, viewer analytics, and team workspaces. However, Loom's free tier is limited (25 recordings, 5 minutes max), and it focuses exclusively on video — it doesn't include screenshots, privacy tools, or productivity features.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is OneBuddy screen recording as good as Loom?
OneBuddy records tabs with audio and screens at 1920x1080/30fps with pause/resume controls. It lacks camera overlay and cloud sharing that Loom offers, but has no recording limits and adds screenshots plus a built-in gallery.
Can OneBuddy replace Loom for team communication?
For individual recording and sharing, yes. OneBuddy recordings are saved locally and can be shared via any file sharing method. For teams needing cloud hosting and viewer analytics, Loom's paid features may still be valuable.
Does OneBuddy have recording time limits like Loom free?
No. OneBuddy has zero recording time limits. Loom free limits you to 25 recordings of 5 minutes each. With OneBuddy, record as long and as often as you need.
Can I take screenshots with OneBuddy?
Yes. OneBuddy includes visible tab screenshots, automated full-page scroll-and-stitch capture, and a gallery to manage all your captures — features Loom does not offer at all.
