## What it is
wf-recorder is a command-line screen recording utility for wlroots-based Wayland compositors, built on ffmpeg and wlr-screencopy. It supports region selection, multi-output choice, audio capture, and configurable codecs.

## Use cases
- record my screen on sway or hyprland
- capture a selected screen region on wayland
- record screen with audio on linux
- save a screencast as mp4 from the terminal
- record a specific monitor on a multi-output setup

## When to avoid
- you are on X11 rather than a wlroots Wayland compositor
- you need a GUI recording interface
