tlapse is a small Node.js CLI utility that periodically takes screenshots of a website during development using Puppeteer, letting you assemble a timelapse of your work. It runs alongside your dev server via npm scripts.

Use cases

  • create a timelapse video of my web development session
  • automatically take periodic screenshots of localhost while coding
  • capture high-resolution screenshots of my site at intervals
  • record visual progress of a frontend project
  • snapshot a webpage every few seconds during development

When to choose

  • you want automatic interval-based screenshots of a local dev site
  • you want to make a timelapse of your coding progress
  • you prefer a simple npm-installed CLI with Puppeteer under the hood

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained tooling (last release 2018)
  • you need full-page or multi-page screenshot features beyond intervals
  • you need video encoding built in rather than raw screenshots
