BloomRecorder for YouTubers: The Loom replacement you buy once

The Loom replacement you buy once.

YouTubers pay monthly for screen recording, captions, clipping and scheduling before the channel earns a cent. One-time tools fix the cost of production at the price of a single video's ad revenue.

The tool this job usually means renting is Loom, at $15/user/mo — roughly $180 a year, every year. BloomRecorder does the job for a one-time $29 — running locally on your own machine.
