Built for practical terminal work

About TermTools

TermTools helps record terminal sessions, replay them accurately, and mask sensitive output before sharing.

What we're building

TermTools is meant to make terminal workflows easier to document without turning each recording into a manual editing job. The focus is reliable capture, readable playback, and privacy controls that stay close to the local workflow.

Fits real workflows

Designed around everyday recording, review, and export tasks.

Clear by default

Recordings should be easy to replay, inspect, and share without extra ceremony.

Careful with details

Performance, output formats, and privacy masking are treated as core product work.

Who maintains TermTools

TermTools is built around practical developer documentation needs, with small, steady improvements over time.
