Efficient Recorder: An Open-Source, Privacy-Focused Screen Recorder
2025-01-04
Inspired by a tweet, developer Jan Wilmake created Efficient Recorder, an open-source project aiming to build a privacy-focused alternative to Rewind.ai. This command-line interface (CLI) tool simultaneously records screen, system audio, and microphone audio, streaming data directly to an S3 bucket. It features intelligent audio recording (switching sample rates based on speech detection), automated screenshot and webcam capture, and efficient resource management to minimize system overhead. Efficient Recorder allows customization of settings such as screenshot and webcam intervals, and image quality.
