Skip the meeting. Send a Plum.
Record your screen, your face and your voice in one take. Explain it once instead of three times, then send the link.
Free to start, on the Mac App Store. Pro’s first month is free. Videos live on your Mac and in your own Google Drive, never on our servers.
Like Loom, minus the workspace.
PlumCam is a screen recorder for Mac that does the one thing you need: record your screen and yourself, then send it. No editing suite to learn. No workspace to set up. No team to invite.
Explaining things eats your afternoon.
You know how it goes.
“Can you hop on a quick call?”
Thirty minutes later, you’ve explained the same thing you could have shown in two.
A wall of text and six screenshots.
And they still reply asking which button you meant.
Your teammate is asleep.
You’re ready to explain now, they’re eight time zones away, and it waits until tomorrow.
Press record, show what you mean, send the link. They watch it when it suits them, and you get your afternoon back.
A screen recorder that gets out of your way.
Everything you need to explain a bug, walk a client through a design, or answer a question. Nothing you have to learn first.
Show it, don’t type it
Your screen and your face in a small circle, recorded together. Pick the whole screen or just one window.
Park your face anywhere
Drag the camera bubble into any corner, make it big or small, and move it mid-recording if it’s covering something.
Nobody needs to see the laundry
Background blur keeps you sharp and the room behind you soft. One switch, no green screen.
Share without the upload dance
Every video goes straight to your own Google Drive. Copy the link, paste it into Slack, an email or a ticket.
Find it again next month
Folders per client or project, drag and drop, and names you change with a click. No more “Screen Recording 2026-10-13 at 14.02”.
Three clicks, every time
Pick what to record, wait for the countdown, start talking. Stop from the menu bar, the camera bubble, or with ⌥R.
A quick look around.
Fix it before you send it.
A simple editor in the same window: no export, no other app. Editing is part of Pro, and Pro’s first month is free.
Cut out the mistakes
Trim the start and end, split anywhere and delete the parts you don’t want. Undo any step; your original stays safe until you save.
Even out the sound
Turn each part up or down, or mute one, by dragging a line on the voice track.
Lose the background noise
Fans, hum and room noise gone in one click, while your voice stays natural.
Add music that steps aside
Songs from the built-in library or your own sounds, each with its own volume and fades. They get quieter whenever you talk.
Captions, written for you
Transcribed right on your Mac, in many languages. Fix any word, pick a style, and add them to the video or save an .srt file.
Make it look right
Brightness, contrast and saturation for a dim webcam or a washed-out screen. Then save, or save and upload to Drive in one go.
Made for anyone who explains things.
If you’ve ever said the same thing three times, a short video says it once.
Teachers and tutors
Record a lesson with your face beside the slides, or walk a student through their homework in three minutes instead of a long email. Captions included, for every learner.
Online course creators
Film each lesson in one take, cut the stumbles, add quiet music and captions, and export an .mp4 ready for your course platform. Up to 4K on Pro.
Product and engineering teams
Show the bug instead of describing it, demo the new feature to the team, or review a design without booking a meeting.
Customer support and success
Answer “how do I…?” with a two-minute video and a link. One recording answers the next ten customers too.
Freelancers and agencies
Walk clients through a design, a site or a report in your own voice. They watch when it suits them, and you skip the call.
Sales and recruiting
Send a short personal video instead of another cold email: your face, their website or profile on screen, one link.
How it works
Pick.
Click New plum, name it if you like, choose a screen or a window.
Talk.
Talk it through on camera while you show your screen. Stop when you’re done.
Paste.
It lands in your library and your Drive. Copy the link and paste it wherever you were about to type the explanation.
Your videos stay yours.
Your recordings never touch our servers. They’re saved on your Mac and in your own Google Drive, under your account. PlumCam can see the files it put there and nothing else. A video stays private until you copy its share link, and whoever you send it to doesn’t need an account to watch.

Questions
Which Macs does PlumCam run on?
Apple Silicon, so any Mac with an M1 chip or newer, on macOS 13 Ventura or later. Intel Macs aren’t supported.
Where are my videos saved?
On your Mac and in your own Google Drive. Nothing is stored on our servers.
Do I need Google Drive?
For share links, yes. PlumCam uploads to your Drive and the link it gives you is a Drive link. You can record and keep everything locally without connecting Drive, you just won’t have a link to send.
Is PlumCam a Loom alternative?
If you use Loom to record a quick walkthrough and send it, yes, and PlumCam costs less. If you use Loom for team workspaces, viewer analytics, comment threads and shared libraries, no. We deliberately don’t do those.
What happens when I reach my plan’s limit?
Recording stops on its own and your video is saved, right up to the last second. Nothing is lost. While you record, the menu bar shows your time against the limit and counts down the final 30 seconds, so it never catches you mid-sentence.
What if PlumCam isn’t for me?
Try Pro free for a month first, and cancel in your App Store settings before it ends if it’s not for you: you won’t be charged. If you change your mind after paying, ask Apple for a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com. Your videos are on your Mac and in your own Drive, so you keep them either way.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, in your App Store subscriptions (PlumCam › Settings › Plan › Manage subscription), in a couple of clicks. You keep PlumCam Basic for free, and your recordings stay on your Mac and in your Drive.
Talk to a person.
A question, a bug, or a refund: write it here and it lands straight in our inbox. We reply within one working day.
