I built ScreenCap, a completely free, browser-based screen recorder that requires no downloads, no sign-ups, and no limits. Think of it as the Loom alternative you've been waiting for.
Why I Built ScreenCap
We've all been there — you need to quickly record your screen to explain a bug, walk a teammate through a feature, or create a short tutorial. Most tools either require installing software, creating an account, or hit you with a paywall after 5 minutes of recording.
I wanted something simpler. Something that just works — right in your browser.
That's why I built ScreenCap.
What Is ScreenCap?
ScreenCap is a 100% free, privacy-first screen recorder that runs entirely in your browser. No downloads. No accounts. No time limits. No watermarks.
You open the site, click record, and you're done. It's that simple.
Features
Record Anything
Capture your entire screen, a specific application window, or a single browser tab. You choose what to share.
️ Voice + System Audio
ScreenCap captures both your microphone and system/tab audio, mixing them together seamlessly. Perfect for narrated walkthroughs and tutorials.
⏸️ Pause & Resume
Need a moment to collect your thoughts? Pause mid-recording and resume when you're ready — no footage lost.
⏩ Full Playback Control
Recordings come with proper duration metadata baked in, so you can seek, scrub, and skip through your videos freely — both in the app and in downloaded files.
Instant Download
Download your recordings as .webm files instantly. No server uploads, no waiting, no compression queues.
Privacy First
Nothing leaves your device. All recordings are processed and stored locally in your browser. There are no servers involved in handling your screen captures. Your data is yours — period.
How to Use It
- Head to screencap.codewithneo.com
- Click the Start Recording button
- Choose what to share (screen, window, or tab) and allow microphone access if you want voice narration
- Record your session — pause and resume as needed
- Click Stop when you're done
- Preview your recording in the app or download it as a .webm file
That's it. Five steps. No friction.
Who Is This For?
- Developers who need to record bug reproductions
- Designers sharing UI walkthroughs
- Educators creating quick tutorials
- Remote teams who want async video communication without paying for Loom
- Anyone who just needs to record their screen without the hassle
What's Next?
I have a few ideas on the roadmap:
- MP4 export for broader compatibility
- Webcam overlay (picture-in-picture) during recordings
- Annotation tools for highlighting and drawing on screen
- Trimming and editing before download
