Loom Alternative for iPhone: Record Any App With Your Face, Keep the File
Loom made async video normal, mostly on the desktop. On an iPhone the job is different: you want to record what's on your phone, with your face in it, and end up with a file you can post or text, not a link to a workspace.
Where the two differ
- Where the video lives. Loom is built around hosted links in a workspace. FlowRec saves a normal video to Photos. Share it anywhere, keep it forever, no viewer login.
- What you can record. FlowRec's Screen Cam records any app on your phone with your face in a floating bubble that follows you from app to app, and stops from the Dynamic Island.
- Being on screen. On websites, FlowRec cuts you out with a live green screen so you stand on the page instead of sitting in a corner.
- Scripts. A built-in teleprompter scrolls your script while you record websites, hidden from the video.
- Account. None. Open the app and record.
Who should still use Loom
If your team lives in a Loom workspace on desktop, with comments, transcripts and viewer analytics on every video, that's a different product and a different job. FlowRec is for the recording itself, on the phone, with you in it, and a file at the end.
Switching takes one tap
- Install FlowRec. There's no sign-up.
- Pick SCREEN CAM to record any app, or WEB CAM for a website with green screen.
- Record, trim, save to Photos. Share by iMessage, Slack, email, or post it.
Questions
Is FlowRec free?
Yes. Web recordings are free with a small watermark and a three-minute cap; you get two free Screen Cam recordings. Pro removes the watermark and limits.
Can I share a link like Loom?
FlowRec gives you the video file. Share it through iMessage, Slack, email, Drive, or post it. You own it; nothing is hosted by us.
Does FlowRec work on iPad?
Yes, iPhone and iPad. Screen Cam needs iOS 18 or later.
Does it record system audio?
It records your microphone and what's on screen, which is what a walkthrough needs. Narrate as you go.
