Record your screen.
Keep it on your machine.
my_eye_ is a premium screen recorder: a movable, customisable camera bubble, a teleprompter, B-roll and background music, with auto-choreographed capture. It records to your own machine and nothing uploads. A small monthly, a cheaper year, or own it once.
A screen recording is a window into everything on your screen.
Your clients' data. Unreleased work. A password manager that popped open. The embarrassing bits you plan to edit out. A private message in the corner. Record with a cloud tool, Loom, Vimeo, Zight, Vidyard, any of them, and all of it is uploaded to someone else's servers, waiting behind a share link. my_eye_ keeps the recording where it was made.
It stays on your machine
The recording is captured and saved on your own device. Zero network egress by construction. No upload, no cloud library, nothing to harvest.
Built to present, not just capture
A movable customisable camera bubble, a teleprompter, B-roll and background music, and auto-choreographed capture. A premium recorder, all on-device.
Own it, don't rent it
A small monthly, a cheaper year, or pay $170 once and keep it. No seat you rent forever just to record your own screen.
No account, no cloud identity
Install it and record. There is no sign-up, no workspace on someone's server, nothing between you and your own footage.
Not just private. A better recorder.
Privacy is the foundation. The reason creators and makers will actually switch is that my_eye_ is more capable, and it bends to how you work.
A camera bubble that behaves
Movable, resizable, all-Spaces. Customise the shape, size and framing so your face sits exactly where it should, on any screen, in any app.
Present, don't just capture
A built-in teleprompter keeps your eyeline steady and your delivery tight. No third app, no script taped beside the lens.
Compose as you go
Drop in B-roll and background music, and let auto-choreography frame the shot, so what you record comes out closer to finished than raw.
Bends to your format
Tutorials, demos, UGC, launch clips, course lessons. One local recorder that flexes to the job, instead of a cloud tool that boxes you into its template.
Privacy is not the trade-off. It is the unlock.
Because my_eye_ never uploads, it does things a cloud recorder structurally cannot. Their business needs the server, the account and the storage tier. Ours needs none of it, so you get more, not less.
No caps, ever
No 5-minute limit, no 25-video wall, no storage tier to outgrow. Record as long and as often as your own disk allows.
Record anything
Credentials on screen, client data, unreleased work. It never uploads, so there is no cloud copy to leak and nothing to think twice about.
Instant, no upload
The file is ready the moment you stop. No processing queue, no upload spinner, no waiting on a server to hand you your own recording.
The full-quality original
Nothing is transcoded for a server or a stream. The file on your disk is the recording, at the quality you captured it.
The cloud recorders all work the same way.
Loom, Vimeo, Zight, Vidyard, Descript, the whole category: your screen goes up to their servers, behind an account, and the useful parts sit behind a subscription. It is a good business for them. It is a standing risk for you.
Your footage, on their servers
Whatever they call it, the recording leaves your machine and lives in their cloud. Held by someone else means it can be subpoenaed, breached, or governed by terms you did not read.
Paywalled where it matters
Free tiers cap you (Loom: 25 videos, 5-minute recordings) and the features you actually need sit behind a per-seat monthly bill that never stops. You rent access to your own work.
my_eye_ breaks the pattern
Nothing uploads, so there is no server copy and no cloud tax. Own it once. The safest, cheapest place for a recording of your screen is the machine that made it.
my_eye_ vs the recorders, on the facts
The named cloud tools are capable. The difference is where your footage goes and how you pay, and it is checkable from their own pages.

Questions
Is there a local, private alternative to Loom?
Yes. my_eye_ records your screen on your own machine with a camera bubble, teleprompter and B-roll, and nothing uploads. Loom and the other cloud recorders (Vimeo, Zight, Vidyard) store your videos in their cloud (loom.com, read 2026-07-21). my_eye_ has no account, no cloud library, and you can own it outright.
Does Loom store my recordings in the cloud?
Yes. Loom is a cloud platform: you record into Loom and videos are stored in your workspace library, shared by link (loom.com/pricing, read 2026-07-21). Loom is owned by Atlassian, and the other cloud recorders work the same way. my_eye_ keeps every recording on your own machine.
How much does my_eye_ cost?
Three options, all under the competition: US$8.08 per month, US$80.80 per year, or own it outright for US$170. Loom's Business plan is US$18 per user per month (about US$216 a year, every year). One price on every platform.
What is the best on-device screen recorder for Mac?
my_eye_ records entirely on your machine, with a movable customisable all-Spaces camera bubble, a teleprompter, B-roll and background music. Zero network egress, no account, and you can own it once instead of renting a seat forever.
Can I record a camera bubble and use a teleprompter locally?
Yes. my_eye_ has a movable, resizable, all-Spaces camera bubble, a built-in teleprompter, B-roll and background music, and auto-choreographed capture, all running on your machine with nothing uploaded.
Is my_eye_ available for Windows?
macOS (Apple Silicon) ships first; Windows is on the roadmap. The goal is system-agnostic, so the same private recorder runs wherever you work. Local Gorilla's browser extensions are already cross-platform.
Isn't a local screen recorder more limited than Loom?
The opposite. With no server to pay for, my_eye_ has no recording-length or video-count caps, works offline, keeps the full-quality original with no transcoding, and lets you record sensitive screens because nothing ever uploads. Plus a customisable bubble, teleprompter, B-roll and music. Features a cloud recorder structurally cannot match.
