Shroom
Screen recording and sharing, hosted on your Cloudflare
About
Shroom is a free, open‑source screen recording app for Mac that stores videos in your own Cloudflare account. Install with a single command, set up a Cloudflare token, and start recording. It auto‑deletes stale clips, lets you pin important ones, and invites teammates via a single link. AI adds chapters and captions, all running on your Cloudflare edge.
The case
Who it is for
Mac users who need quick screen recordings for demos or tutorials and want to keep videos in their own Cloudflare storage without a subscription.
What is broken today
Before Shroom, users had to rely on paid screen‑recording services or generic cloud storage, leading to high costs or lack of control. Existing tools often lock users into vendor‑specific storage, require subscriptions, or lack automated storage management.
What it does about it
Shroom installs on macOS with a single command, sets up a Cloudflare token, and uses your Cloudflare account for video storage. It auto‑deletes old, unwatched videos, lets you pin important clips, and offers a built‑in editor and AI‑powered captions and chapter creation, all while keeping costs minimal.
Why not the obvious alternative
Unlike commercial services, Shroom runs entirely in your own Cloudflare account, giving you full ownership and no subscription fees. It automatically manages storage by deleting stale videos, and teammates can join via a single link without needing a Cloudflare account.

Questions
- How much does Shroom cost?

- Do I need a Cloudflare account?
- Yes, you need a Cloudflare account to create a token, but you can host the videos in your account without any additional subscription.
- Can I invite teammates to record videos?
- Yes. Invite teammates with a single link; they don’t need a Cloudflare account, and their videos go into your storage.
- What happens to old videos?
- Shroom auto‑deletes stale videos that haven’t been watched, keeping storage usage low. You can pin important videos to prevent deletion.
- Is there an editor?
- Shroom includes a built‑in editor and lets you cut during recording by saying "shroom cut".
