Loom alternative · native macOS
Blazing Video is a native Mac app for quick screen-and-face videos. Press ⌥⇧R, talk, press it again: the link is already on your clipboard and plays about 1.6 seconds later. Edit by deleting words, or let your own Claude do it.
macOS 15 or later · free during the private beta
Hotkey to recording
Stop to a link that plays
Stop to transcript, on your Mac
Edit after sharing, same link
Measured on an M1 Pro.
Why switch
Press ⌥⇧R anywhere and it’s recording in about a third of a second. The video uploads while you talk, so when you stop there’s almost nothing left to send: the link on your clipboard plays about 1.6 s later.
Every word in the transcript is timed, so you cut by striking text: false starts, a tangent, the “ok, stop” at the end. Cut fillers and tighten pauses in one go. Update, and the link you already sent plays the new cut.
Blazing Video has an MCP server built in. In Claude Code or the Claude app, say “cut the ums, tighten the pauses and share it”. It runs on your existing Pro or Max plan: no API key, nothing extra to pay. Set it up.
Transcription runs on the Neural Engine (Parakeet), ready a fraction of a second after you stop. Recording and editing stay on your Mac; a video is uploaded only to make a share link, and you can delete it any time.

FAQ
Yes, while Blazing Video is in private beta. During the beta each account can keep up to 50 share links and 10 GB of video.
Not yet. Blazing Video is a native Mac app (macOS 15 or later), which is a big part of why it’s fast. If you need to record on Windows, it isn’t for you yet.
No. Recording, editing by transcript and share links all work on their own. If you use Claude Code or the Claude app, connect it once and Claude can record, edit and share for you on your existing Pro or Max plan, with no API key.
On your Mac. Transcription and editing happen there too. A video is uploaded only to make a share link; it then lives in Blazing Video’s storage until you delete it from your library.
Yes. Edit it and update: the link stays the same, so anyone who opens the link you already sent gets the newest cut.
There’s no bulk import from Loom. If you have a video as an .mp4 file, you can hand it to Claude: the open_take tool imports it into the Blazing Video editor and understand_video reads its transcript and key frames. One file at a time. See the MCP tools.
Anyone you give an unlisted link to. Links are long, unguessable and not listed anywhere. Set a link to “Only me” to keep it private, and delete any link from your library to stop it playing.
