An alternative to Loom

There are many ways you can annoy a developer. The one that probably strikes a chord the most is reporting a bug they can’t reproduce. As frustrating as bugs can be, “the login doesn’t work” is simply not a valid explanation. What’s not working? What happens when you log in? Do you see an error page?

Brevy tries to bring some peace and clarity among product, design, and engineering teams. The app lets you record your screen from your browser so you can report visual issues easier. Sounds familiar? “This pitch might remind you of Loom, and yes, we are similar. But Brevy makes four major improvements,” one of the makers argues.

Brevy automatically includes console logs and technical information in your recordings. If a video is not necessary, you can opt to annotate an element directly in your browser so the rest of the team can take a look. Annotating also works for recorded videos – you can leave comments specifically tied to a region in your video to give more context. Finally, any errors can be pushed directly to your issue tracking tools like Jira or project management apps like ClickUp and Asana.

This is Brevy’s second time launching – it debuted its Beta a year ago, which was less focused on video and more on leaving feedback on web pages. With this public launch, the product seems to be geared towards product teams collaborating on feedback, in contrast to Loom, which we see teams use for various different use cases.
