Reelbird
An open-source screen recording tool for Mac developed natively in Swift. After recording, the link is automatically copied to the clipboard.

Timeline (last 90 days)
Reelbird is a fully open-source Mac screen recording tool developed natively in Swift, positioned as an alternative to Loom and Screen Studio.
When Reelbird stops recording, it automatically copies the video share link to the clipboard, with no need to wait for the upload to complete or jump to another interface.
Reelbird does not rely on an official cloud storage service, but instead allows users to connect their own S3 or Cloudflare R2 storage buckets, and Reelbird itself does not host any content.
Reelbird is written in native Swift rather than a cross-platform framework such as Electron, and does not require creating an account to use.
Reelbird has completed code signing and notarization (Signed and notarized), so installing it will not trigger macOS's developer verification warning.
Reelbird's basic recording and sharing features benchmark against Loom, while enhanced features such as auto-zoom, smooth cursor, and subtitles borrow from Screen Studio's approach.
Reelbird may still not be comparable to Loom's maturity in enterprise-level features such as collaborative comments, team management, and video analytics.
The Reelbird project has been open-sourced on GitHub, and users can deploy and try it themselves.
