Terminal Recorder for DevTool Teams

Terminal Recorder: one command to capture CLI demos and publish share-ready assets.

Install the `tr` CLI and run `tr record`. We capture your terminal session locally, generate asciinema, GIF, and MP4 output, then host a polished playback page instantly.

Problem

VHS and ffmpeg workflows produce beautiful demos, but setup drift across contributors blocks consistent demo velocity.

Solution

`tr record` bundles capture and export in one flow: one terminal session in, three output formats out.

Why teams pay

Hosted links with retention controls remove handoffs. Devtool makers ship reproducible demos without editing video files.

One-command workflow

Capture your CLI tutorial, then let Terminal Recorder generate playback artifacts and hosting links. Free users get 30-day retention. Pro keeps all recordings forever.

  • • Works with any shell-based workflow (bash, zsh, fish).
  • • Produces `.cast`, `.gif`, and `.mp4` without manual ffmpeg scripts.
  • • Upload endpoint returns an instant share URL for docs and changelogs.
CLI workflow
curl -fsSL https://terminal-recorder.dev/install.sh | bash
export TR_API_URL=https://terminal-recorder.dev
# Unlock uploads in /dashboard to get TR_ACCESS_TOKEN
tr record --title "CLI onboarding demo"

`tr record` captures the shell, then creates `.cast`, `.gif`, and `.mp4` outputs. If `TR_ACCESS_TOKEN` is set, it uploads and prints a public share URL automatically.

Pricing that fits demo-heavy teams

Start free, keep every local export, and only pay when you need permanent hosted demos.

FAQ

How is this different from VHS?

VHS is excellent for scripted recordings, but teams still need local setup and conversion pipelines. Terminal Recorder centralizes hosting and removes per-user environment drift.

Can I keep recordings private?

Yes. Use the dashboard to keep links internal until release. Share URLs can be generated only when you are ready.

What unlocks after purchase?

Upload tokens and hosted playback management in the dashboard are behind purchase verification and an access cookie.
