Loom
A screen and camera recording tool for sharing async video messages instead of writing long emails or scheduling meetings.
Why this tool?
Loom lets you record your screen, camera, or both, and instantly share a link—no uploading, no editing required. Recipients watch at their own pace, react with emoji, and comment at specific timestamps, making async communication far more human than text.

Why this tool?
Obsidian stores all notes as plain markdown files on your device—no cloud lock-in. Bidirectional links connect ideas across notes, the graph view visualizes your knowledge network, and 1,000+ community plugins extend it to fit any workflow.
