About:
Ipbt is a powerful terminal session recorder and player designed for UNIX-like systems. It captures all terminal output and input, allowing sessions to be replayed exactly as they occurred. Its primary value is in creating accurate, high-quality recordings of command-line work for tutorials, demonstrations, or debugging.
Key Features:
  • High-fidelity recording of terminal sessions, including cursor movements and complex screen updates
  • Efficient playback with the ability to pause, rewind, and fast-forward
  • Supports scripting and automation for creating polished presentations
  • Generates output in various formats, including a text-based log and a format suitable for conversion to video
Use Cases:
  • Creating software tutorials and demonstrations by recording and replaying terminal sessions
  • Debugging complex terminal applications by replaying user sessions to pinpoint issues
  • Archiving important command-line work for later review or auditing
Alternatives:
  • asciinema – Focuses on recording to a shareable format for web playback, whereas ipbt provides more granular control for local playback and scripting.
  • script – A basic Unix utility for logging a terminal session to a plain text file, lacking ipbt's advanced playback and formatting features.
