About Vidova
The alternative to Loom. Lightweight, powerful, and cross-platform.
Built for Creators, by Creators
We're making video communication accessible and powerful
Our Mission
Vidova was born from a simple idea: video communication should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget or technical expertise. We're building an alternative to proprietary video tools, giving creators, teams, and educators powerful video tools without the vendor lock-in or high costs.
Why We Built Vidova
Existing video tools were either too expensive, too complex, or too limited. We wanted something that was:
- Free, so anyone can use it
- Lightweight and fast, without unnecessary bloat
- Cross-platform, working on all major operating systems
- Powerful enough for professional use, but simple enough for anyone
- Privacy-focused, with self-hosting options
