Screendrop is a native macOS app for screenshots and screen recording, serving as a free, self-hostable Loom alternative. It offers annotation, video editing, on-device transcription with karaoke captions, and sharing via your own Cloudflare account.

## Use cases

- record screen with camera, microphone, and system audio
- self-host a loom alternative for sharing screen recordings
- annotate and edit screenshots with backgrounds and redaction
- transcribe recordings on-device and burn in captions
- share screen recordings via my own cloudflare account

## When to choose
- you want a native, free Loom alternative on macOS
- you want to self-host recording sharing through Cloudflare
