Just Click Record
Shootsta Cast
Instant screen recording directly from your browser.
Record your screen, webcam, or both with a single click. No sign-in, no time limits, no cost. Privacy-first - all recordings stay on your machine.
The Problem
Explaining things visually shouldn't be hard
Written explanations miss context. Screenshots lack movement. Meetings take too long. And most screen recorders require downloads, accounts, or cloud uploads just to get started.
Too Much Friction
Most screen recorders require installing desktop software, creating accounts, and managing cloud storage before you can record anything.
Privacy Concerns
Cloud-first tools upload your recordings automatically. For sensitive content like internal processes or customer data, that's a dealbreaker.
Unnecessary Complexity
You just want to show someone what's on your screen. You don't need a full video editing suite to do it.
How It Works

From install to finished recording in under a minute. No accounts, no configuration, no learning curve.

Why Cast
Screen recording without the baggage
Most screen recorders are designed to lock you into a platform. They require accounts, upload your videos to the cloud, and charge you for features you don't need.
Cast takes the opposite approach. It's a lightweight browser extension that records locally, requires no sign-in, and gives you a standard video file you can do anything with.
Loom
Simple recording, but requires accounts and uploads everything to the cloud. Paid tiers for basic features.
OBS Studio
Powerful but complex. Designed for streaming, not quick screen recordings. Steep learning curve.
Native OS Tools
Basic recording without webcam overlay or audio mixing. Limited sharing options.
Shootsta Cast
Browser-native simplicity. Privacy-first local recording. No accounts, no limits, completely free.
