ClipDeck is the Loom replacement you buy once. Record any screen or window with your mic, and every recording saves as a real file on your own disk — no cloud, no account, no watermark, no length limits. Loom Business is $15/month, $180 a year, forever, and your videos live on their servers behind their plan limits. ClipDeck is $29 once and pays for itself before a Loom trial ends.

For tutorial makers, devs recording bug reports, course creators, and anyone who sends "here, watch this" videos.

• Source picker with live previews — any screen or individual window

• One-toggle microphone, mixed cleanly with system audio into a single track

• Floating always-on-top recording pill with timer and stop button

• Local library — auto-saves to Videos/Screen Recorder with generated thumbnails, plays in-app

• MP4 export — H.264 + faststart, plays everywhere, live progress
