Async-first teams
Say it once and skip the meeting.
One Rec is the free, local alternative to Loom for async teams. Record quick video messages, walkthroughs, and code reviews that look polished enough to take seriously, without a cloud subscription.
The problem
What gets in the way.
- Meetings get scheduled when a 3-minute video would do the same job
- Long Slack threads lose context that a quick screen recording would preserve
- Loom costs $15/user/month and caps free recordings at 5 minutes
- Raw screen recordings look sloppy and are hard to follow
What you get
Built for internal communication.
- 01
Free, with no recording length cap
Record for 30 seconds or 30 minutes. One Rec has no time limits, and the free plan lets every team member use it at no cost.
- 02
Local by default
Unlike Loom or cloud recorders, One Rec stores recordings locally. Footage only goes to a server if you create a share link, which suits teams handling sensitive information.
- 03
Smart trim
Smart Trim suggests cuts for pauses, and for filler words once the recording is transcribed. Your async messages get to the point faster, so colleagues actually watch them.
- 04
AI captions
Local Whisper captions make your recordings accessible and searchable. Teammates in other time zones or with hearing impairments can follow along.
- 05
Custom backgrounds
Put your screen recording on a clean gradient or branded wallpaper instead of a cluttered desktop. Every async message looks intentional.
- 06
Export to MP4 or GIF
Export finished videos as MP4 for Notion, Confluence, or email, or as an animated GIF for a quick inline preview in Slack or GitHub.
