About:
t-rec is a terminal session recorder written in Rust that captures your terminal output and converts it into animated GIFs. It operates with minimal overhead, making it suitable for creating quick demos, tutorials, or bug reports. Its primary value is enabling developers to easily share visual, engaging representations of command-line workflows.
Key Features:
  • Blazing fast performance due to Rust implementation
  • Automatically generates animated GIFs from terminal sessions
  • Low resource overhead during recording
  • Simple command-line interface for quick operation
  • Supports custom styling and frame rate adjustments
Use Cases:
  • Creating animated tutorials or demos for command-line tools
  • Recording terminal sessions to visually document bugs or issues for reports
Alternatives:
  • asciinema – Records and plays back terminal sessions in a text-based format, while t-rec outputs directly to animated GIFs.
  • peek – A GUI screen recorder for Linux, not specifically optimized for terminal sessions like t-rec.
