t-rec is a fast, offline terminal recorder written in Rust that captures terminal (or arbitrary window) sessions and generates animated GIFs or MP4 videos. It supports configurable framerates, idle-frame optimization, and decorative borders like drop shadows.
Use cases
- record terminal session as animated gif
- create demo gif of cli tool for readme
- capture terminal output as mp4 video
- record a browser or ide window
- make fluid terminal presentations with idle frame optimization
When to choose
- you need small, high-quality animated gifs of terminal or window sessions entirely offline
- you want a simple one-command recorder without record-and-replay complexity
- you work on macOS, Linux, or NetBSD and want native, fast capture
When to avoid
- you need full Windows support - it is still in preview/pre-release
- you need webcam, audio, or full-desktop screen recording features
- you prefer asciinema-style text-based recordings over gif/video output
