An incredibly simple, open-source alternative to Loom that only requires S3-compatible storage—no servers needed

← Audio and video
ClipShare: open-source screen recorder. Records your screen and sends videos to your own cloud storage.

In simple English

ClipShare is a desktop application that lets you record your screen and webcam. When you finish, it saves the video directly to your own cloud storage. You do not need to pay a monthly subscription to a third-party video service. You only pay for the storage space you use. It is designed for people who want to share quick video messages without managing a backend server.

What it is

ClipShare is a cross-platform desktop application built with Electron (a framework for building desktop apps using web technologies) that connects directly to S3-compatible storage (a cloud storage standard used by Amazon and other providers). It runs from your system tray and uploads your recordings automatically.

What it is good for

Solo builders and remote teams who want to record bug reports or product demos without paying for commercial screen recording services.
