Pullsy Record — A Free Loom Alternative That Actually Works (2026)

Free browser-based screen recorder with AI transcript and chat. No install, no watermark, no 5-minute limit. The Loom alternative you've been looking for.

Published · Last updated

If you’ve ever tried to record a quick screen video and gotten frustrated with Loom’s 5-minute limit, watermarked free tier, or the desktop app requirement — Pullsy Record is built for you.

It’s a browser-based screen recorder. Click record, grant screen access, save. That’s it. No download, no signup, no watermark, no 5-minute limit on the recording length itself (free tier caps at 5 min to keep storage fair; Pro is unlimited).

What makes it different from OBS, Loom, and ScreenPal

The big differentiators:

1. AI transcript + chat included free. Loom charges for transcription. Pullsy Record does it automatically. Viewers can ask the AI “where did they talk about pricing?” and it jumps to that timestamp.

2. No install. Loom forces a desktop app. OBS is 100MB+ to download. Pullsy Record runs entirely in your browser — works on any laptop.

3. Loom import is no longer available. Loom changed how their videos are served — direct URL import no longer works. The recommended path is to download your Loom video via Loom’s Share → Download as MP4, then re-upload it to Pullsy Record.

When to use it

  • Async standup updates — record once, share the link, no one needs to be in the meeting
  • Bug reports — capture the bug, the AI transcript makes it scannable
  • Code review walkthroughs — record your screen walking through the PR
  • Demo videos for prospects — record the product demo, send the link
  • Tutorial creation — combine with YouTube transcript tool for captions

What it isn’t

  • Not a video editor. Pullsy Record captures raw screen + mic. For editing, use a proper editor (or Loom’s editor for that matter).
  • Not a live streaming tool. If you need to stream live, use OBS or StreamYard.
  • Not a Zoom replacement. Loom doesn’t do that either.

How to use it

  1. Go to pullsy.online/record
  2. Click “Start recording”
  3. Chrome will ask which screen/window/tab to share — pick one
  4. Optionally allow mic + camera (or skip — screen only works fine)
  5. Record what you need
  6. Click “Stop & save”
  7. Get a permanent share link

That’s it.

If you have a Loom video you want to import: paste the share URL into the import box on the same page. We’ll grab it and rehost it on Pullsy.
