About

Asciinema is a free and open-source terminal recorder, originating from Poland, designed to revolutionize how users record and share their command-line sessions. Instead of traditional screen recording apps and blurry video, it offers a lightweight, purely text-based approach, making it a go-to tool for command-line users to share their skills. Key features include a robust command-line interface and screen recording capabilities, with ongoing community input for feature suggestions and voting. It is widely available across Mac, Linux, BSD, and Python platforms. The project maintains an active online presence, including a significant GitHub repository (github.com/asciinema/asciinema), and has garnered positive attention, notably being utilized by the Hugo static blog generator for its documentation, highlighting its clean integration and utility.
