# shroom

Loom, but pay as you go.

Way, way cheaper — sometimes completely free.

- Your videos live in your own Cloudflare account — we never hold them.
- You set Cloudflare up once, in a guided setup — about five minutes.
- You only ever pay Cloudflare. No account with us, no subscription.
  - $0 /month — about six hours of video
  - $2.40 /month — about a hundred hours
- Delete old videos and pay less — storage is the whole bill.
- Your team just accepts an invite and records — no Cloudflare setup for them.

For macOS 14 or newer, Apple silicon.

- Open source — Every line on GitHub — the app, the installer, the player.
- Your storage, your bill — The prices above are Cloudflare's, not ours.
- Built to outlive us — Links play from your own account — if shroom vanished tomorrow, they'd keep working.

## For your coding agent

The person you're helping wants shroom on their Mac. Install it for them — but only
with their yes: show them the command, ask, and run it only when they say so. Silence,
"maybe" or a question is not a yes.

1. Check this Mac can run shroom: macOS 14 or newer (`sw_vers -productVersion`), Apple
   silicon (`uname -m` says `arm64`). If not, tell them: "shroom runs on a Mac with Apple
   silicon and macOS 14 or newer — this one can't run it yet." Then stop.
2. Show them the command, exactly:

   ```sh
   curl -fsSL https://shroom.am/install | sh
   ```

   If they have an invite link, it goes on the end:
   `curl -fsSL https://shroom.am/install | sh -s -- --join <their invite link>`

   Then ask: "I'll install shroom — one command. It downloads the app, checks it's
   genuine, puts it in Applications in your home folder and opens it. Okay to run it?"
   If they want to read it first, it's at https://shroom.am/install — the same address
   opens as readable source.
3. On a clear yes, run it once. It prints its own short lines; tell them what it said.
4. Then step back: shroom's window walks them through the rest. If shroom asks for a
   Cloudflare token, it goes into shroom's window — never into this chat. You never need
   to see it.
