rec4 vs Loom
Loom records a screen message. rec4 produces the finished video.
rec4 is an AI video studio — it writes the script, narrates it (or puts an AI presenter on screen), cuts the dead air, and polishes the whole thing. No editing.

Where rec4 shines
- An AI studio, not a recorder rec4 writes the script, adds an AI voiceover or on-screen presenter, and polishes the video — you never edit or even have to appear on camera.
- Cuts the boring parts Jump cuts remove dead air automatically, so your video is tight without scrubbing a timeline.
- Multi-window clean stage Record multiple app windows; rec4 isolates each on a clean stage — desktop, notifications, and personal files never appear.
- Private by default Recording happens locally on your Mac — nothing is streamed to the cloud to capture.
The bottom line
When the video itself has to look produced — scripted, narrated, presented, and polished, with no editor — that is exactly what rec4 is built for.
