Show HN: Bloom – an open-source alternative to Loom

1 vaneyckseme 0 9/17/2025, 11:22:34 PM thepublic.dev ↗

I’ve been a long-time Loom user, but I often just wanted a simple way to record my screen + camera and share the file anywhere, without being tied to a hosted platform. So I built Bloom.

Bloom features:

* Screen + camera overlay recording

* Saves videos locally (no cloud lock-in)

* Built with Electron (cross-platform support in progress)

* 100% open source

It’s still early — the basics work, but there are rough edges. I’d love feedback on:

* What features you’d expect from a Loom alternative

* Cross-platform testing (I’ve only tried macOS so far)

* Any performance or UX issues you notice

Links:

- Mac OS DMG: https://github.com/thepublicdev/bloom/releases/tag/v1.0.0

- Repo: https://github.com/thepublicdev/bloom

- Demo video: https://youtu.be/ijNySK5FaTI?si=3Sg9FmZeD-hRENMm

More updates coming soon.
