Why RecCli?

One-Click Recording

Floating button appears on every terminal. Click to start, click to stop.

Per-Terminal Recording

Each window gets its own popup. Independent recording states.

Auto-Launch

Background watcher automatically detects new terminals.

Yes, script exists. So does walking, but we still use cars.

Questions You're Thinking

Why not just use the script command?▼

Why start every session by typing the same command? Repeatability should be accounted for with workflow enhancement. You'll click a red button that's always visible - built to automatically capture your research, debugging, and development sessions.

What about asciinema?▼

asciinema is great! We actually use it under the hood. But it's still command-line based. RecCli is about the UI/UX layer - the floating button that makes you actually USE recording instead of forgetting about it.

Will this always be free?▼

Core recording features? Free forever. Advanced AI features for context management? Coming in Phase 2 with paid options. But the basic terminal recorder you're looking at? Always free, always open source (MIT).

Where are recordings stored?▼

Locally on your machine in ~/.reccli/recordings/. Your data, your control. No cloud uploads unless you choose to share.

What platforms does it support?▼

Currently macOS with Terminal.app. Support for iTerm2, Linux terminals, and Windows (WSL) is on the roadmap. Follow us on GitHub to track progress.
