Headless Recorder is a Chrome extension that records browser interactions (clicks, typing, navigation) and generates Playwright or Puppeteer scripts. It was built by Checkly and is fully deprecated as of December 2022.

Use cases

  • record browser interactions and export as playwright script
  • generate puppeteer code from clicks
  • create e2e test scripts without writing code
  • record web scraping flows
  • capture user actions as automation script

When to choose

  • you need a quick way to bootstrap Playwright or Puppeteer scripts from manual browsing
  • you want to preview CSS selectors while recording interactions

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained tool - the project is deprecated since Dec 2022
  • you need modern alternatives like Playwright's built-in codegen
