Show HN: Shroom – screen recording and sharing, your own Cloudflare, 10M setup

Developer bagrat released Shroom, a free, MIT-licensed screen recording and sharing app for Mac that runs entirely in the user's own Cloudflare account, installed with one line and set up in about 10 minutes. Shroom stores up to roughly 3 hours of video on Cloudflare's free tier, auto-deletes old unwatched videos unless pinned, lets teammates join via a single invite link without their own Cloudflare account, and uses AI running in the user's Cloudflare to add chapters and captions and to cut mistakes flagged by saying "shroom cut" while recording. The project is aimed at users who balked at paying $18/month for occasional demo recording.

Some months I needed to record and share a single 30-minute demo, but in other months I only needed a few 2-minute quick videos. Paying $18/month didn't justify. So I had to build it myself. Shroom is a free, open source MIT screen recording and sharing app for Mac, hosted in your own Cloudflare account. Install with one line or with your AI agent and follow a guided setup for about 10 minutes, a few clicks create a token, add a card to enable storage on Cloudflare . With Cloudflare's free tier, up to about 3 hours of recorded videos cost you nothing. After that, it is still cheap - use the slider at https://shroom.am https://shroom.am to see the approximate storage costs. Shroom auto-deletes stale videos old, unwatched to keep your storage consumption low. Pin important videos to keep them from being deleted. Invite your teammates with a single link, they don't need a Cloudflare account. Their videos go into your storage. You only pay for storage, no matter how many people you invite. It comes with an editor, but you can also cut as you record. If you make a mistake, just say "shroom cut" while recording and continue. After you stop the slipped sentence will be cut for you. It will also add chapters and captions to your video using AI, again, all running in your Cloudflare.
