ttystudio

ttystudio is a terminal-to-GIF recorder built to capture command-line sessions without the usual external tooling headaches. It can record a terminal session and compile the result into a GIF or APNG using its own built-in writers. The project avoids dependencies such as ImageMagick, ffmpeg, shell scripts, and frame concatenation workflows. It records terminal frames through a pseudo-terminal, renders text using parsed bitmap fonts, and writes the animation directly from captured frame data. Users can record and compile in one step or save frames to JSON for later replay and editing. It also supports frame ranges, custom delays, borders, screenshot mode, custom quit keys, logging options, and APNG palette controls.
