Screen Recorder with Shareable Link
Record your screen and share a link hosted on your own storage - not a third-party video host behind a subscription. Great for tutorials, demos and bug reports.
Record your screen, then share a link to the video - hosted on your own storage. Where Loom and other hosted recorders keep your videos on their servers behind a subscription, FTPie saves the recording to your machine and, when you share it, returns a link from a cloud account you control. No third-party custody, no link rot when you stop paying - see FTPie vs Loom. Recordings save automatically to your Videos/FTPie folder.

Your video, your storage
Hosted recorders are convenient until your library hits the free-tier cap or a shared link dies because the plan lapsed. FTPie keeps the recording on your machine and shares it via Quick Share from a cloud account you own - you keep the file, you control the link, and there is no third party between you and your own demo. It is the self-hosted answer to Loom. Need to send it as an attachment? Use Share via Email.

Perfect for creating quick tutorials, recording software demos, or capturing video bugs. The seamless FTPie integration makes it easy to share professional recordings without file management hassles. For still image captures, see the Screenshot tool, or compare the approach with Loom.
