Rebuilt natively from the ground up, the new Loom for Mac brings instant recording, automatic screen decluttering, and AI-ready video prompts right to your menu bar.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all been there: you\u2019re about to record a quick video update, but your desktop is a sea of loose files, your camera bubble blocks the exact button you need to click, and you spend the first five minutes rehearsing mental bullet points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Async video communication should feel effortless, expressive, and instant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we\u2019re thrilled to introduce the all-new Loom desktop app for Mac<\/strong>. Rebuilt from the ground up to feel right at home on macOS 15+, this new experience brings lightning-fast performance, studio-grade recording polish, and powerful AI capabilities directly to your menu bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re walking a teammate through a product spec, sending feedback on a design, or handing off instructions to an AI agent, Loom for Mac is designed to help you communicate your best ideas, with zero friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built from scratch: what we did under the hood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rebuilding an app that millions rely on every day isn\u2019t just about tweaking the interface. It means rethinking every layer so recording feels faster, smoother, and more natural on a Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the new Loom for Mac, we retired the legacy desktop foundation and rebuilt the app natively from the ground up. Here\u2019s what went into that work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • A native Mac app:<\/strong> We rebuilt Loom using Apple\u2019s native technologies so it opens faster, feels more responsive, and uses less of your computer\u2019s memory and processing power while you record. The app is also ~80% smaller, which significantly reduces download size and takes up less disk space on your computer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Advanced screen capture and higher resolution:<\/strong> We tapped into more advanced macOS screen capture features and default to higher resolution, delivering sharper, smoother recordings with support for crisp 4K video, richer color, and clearer text.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Better camera and audio performance:<\/strong> We improved how Loom handles your camera and microphone so device switching feels easier and effects like backgrounds and filters run with less lag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Smarter screen awareness:<\/strong> We built a new foundation that helps Loom understand your screen, windows, mouse movement, and recording area in real time. That\u2019s what powers features like cleaner recordings, precise capture, smart bubble placement, and Video Prompts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Most of this work happens quietly in the background. But you\u2019ll feel it every time Loom launches quickly, captures exactly what you intended, and helps you create a polished video without extra setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
