session recorder

by @mohsen1

This is a Chrome extension that records lots of details in a usage session. Stuff like network calls, console logs, screenshots and also optionally screenshots and user narration Tools like this exist, but every one I tried is uploading the session details somewhere in their cloud and try to monetize this. So I built the version I wanted: free, open source, and local. There is no account, no backend, no telemetry. Sessions live in IndexedDB in your browser and exported as a zip. What it records: * Clicks, typing, page changes, network requests and responses, console errors screenshots, video with sound * Your voice, transcribed and placed next to what you were doing at the time * Annotations: Arrows and boxes you draw on the page's screenshot Note: Passwords, auth headers, and tokens are masked at capture time All events are lined up in a timeline with timestamps At export you pick a detail level with a live token estimate, so a long session still fits your model's context window. .
