Terminal session recorder, streamer and player


asciinema is a command-line tool for recording and live streaming terminal sessions.

Unlike typical screen recording software, which records visual output of a screen into a heavyweight video files (.mp4, .mov), asciinema CLI runs inside a terminal, capturing terminal session output into lightweight recording files in the asciicast format (.cast), or streaming it live to viewers in real-time.

Recordings can be replayed in a terminal, embedded on a web page with the asciinema player, or published to an asciinema server, such as asciinema.org, for further sharing. Live streams allow viewers to watch terminal sessions as they happen.
