Loom is built for async work docs and screen recordings for a team, not for going live to Twitch or streaming a reaction. FaceBubble is closer to a lightweight, free alternative to whatever built-in screen recorder plus a separate camera app combo people were duct-taping together before.

"Completely free, no watermarks, no subscriptions" is a rare combo for this category, most face-bubble/reaction-cam apps I've seen gate the export behind a paywall eventually. What's the plan long-term, is this a loss leader for something else you're building or genuinely staying free forever? Also curious how it handles the Twitch/YouTube live streaming piece on iOS given how locked down screen+camera capture usually is on the platform.
@galdayan Hello Gal, thank you for your review. Since the service runs entirely on the user's device, I don't have any server costs or similar expenses. This means it doesn't require any maintenance from me, so I hadn't thought about charging for it.
However, I've now added a "support developer" donation button for anyone who really enjoys using it.
normal screen recording flow is just annoying enough that I usually skip sending video recording of my mobile screen. this is much better. also good that it stays on-device instead of pushing everything into another cloud service.
Would be great to get simple annotations at some point too.
Keeping a real face on screen while you walk through something is a small thing that makes clips feel so much friendlier, and having it float wherever you want is a genuinely nice touch
Thanks, Robin. It was quite difficult for a developer to allow users to switch between applications without the active screen freezing. However, the positioning and sizing also feels very pleasant.
Like Loom for iOS? Very cool
