A really cool iOS and Android screen recorder.

You can put your face on the screen in real time, record, stream, even annotate live, add text, draw, show touch indicators.

Pretty neat!

Show HN: Vibe code from phone template repo

https://github.com/AdmTal/vibe-code-from-phone-starter

This is my setup for lazy vibe coding from my phoneLaziness is the goal, this is for fun, not business or personal development.I used it to make “Pac Man With Guns”Taking a break from all discourse on AI and its place in professional coding, it’s really fun to play and prototype games with it. I have limited time and focus, and it’s cool to take half and idea and get a workable...

Fair, thank you.

I’ll try to improve the design of that toolbar

Re:Show HN: I Made Loom for Mobile on Friday December 19, 2025 @08:23PM (#46332901)
Thank you for the feedback, I agree instant shareable link is huge selling point on Loom.

I’ll try to look into maybe like, a Vimeo/youtube integration for a quick solve.

Yes, it’s possible to do composite edits after a screen recording

The tradeoffs here were aimed at doing it all live in a single take

I wish all ps2 games were playable and available on such a site

Yes! I purchased an Android device this week, and next week I’m going to start working on a port.

From what I’ve gathered, the Android version might be better due to lesser screen recording constraints

Thanks, I hate that the winning title is “Loom for Mobile” but I get it

Maybe it will help SEO if people get stuck and search Loom Mobile

Re:Show HN: I Made Loom for Mobile on Friday December 19, 2025 @01:51PM (#46329421)
Unfortunately not

iOS guardrails make that pretty much impossible

I had to accepts some tradeoffs to get this specific collection of features, Face Cam, touches, etc…

I’ve heard Android might allow more, and I’ll be looking into an Android port soon.

Re:Show HN: I Made Loom for Mobile on Friday December 19, 2025 @01:24PM (#46329106)
Thank you, and yes, Loom does not offer it

There are tons of iOS screen recorders that record either the camera, or the screen, but none do both.

I also had a janky solution, which prompted me to build this

Re:Show HN: I Made Loom for Mobile on Friday December 19, 2025 @01:04PM (#46328867)
This is a great idea, thank you

I did add some title/annotation functionality after making that demo

But your right, there should be a way to avoid screen cover

Re:Show HN: I Made Loom for Mobile on Friday December 19, 2025 @12:53PM (#46328749)
I’m not planning on it, but to be completely honest I don’t want to rule it out
Re:Show HN: I Made Loom for Mobile on Friday December 19, 2025 @12:47PM (#46328675)
Thank you - you’re right, I should Liquid Glassify that app asap

Re:Show HN: I vibe coded a free typing game for my kids on Monday December 15, 2025 @10:20AM (#46275620)
Nice work

Love that it works on mobile

I think Vibe coding is great for parents, sometimes I have an idea and I don’t have time to focus on execution
