Why You Need This

How this feature boosts your daily productivity

The most valuable parts of your AI workflow — the prompts that worked, the moment a 30-step refactor finally landed, the conversation that solved an obscure bug — usually disappear into terminal scrollback the moment you close the tab. Terminal Record captures the entire session the moment you click the red REC pill on any AI terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Amp, or any custom wrapper). When you stop, the recording opens in a chat-style replay viewer with prompts as blue bubbles, AI responses as left-side bubbles with the model name, word-by-word reveal, a blinking streaming cursor, and 1×/2×/4× playback so you can re-watch your own session like a screencast — without ever rolling a screen recorder. Share it three ways: a clean Markdown transcript for docs and PRs, a standalone HTML file with built-in playback for teammates, or a hardware-accelerated MP4 with square (1:1) and portrait (9:16) presets, 720p/1080p quality, 60-second smart compression, and a branded end-credit screen ready to drop into Twitter, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts. Every recording lands in a per-project library (the last 24 sessions per project) so your best AI moments stay organized and replayable. PRO users can also strip the 1DevTool watermark from exported videos.

Without 1DevTool

The manual way vs. the 1DevTool way

The Hard Way

# Open OBS or QuickTime
# Pick a region around your terminal
# Hit record, hope you got the right window
# Stop, trim, re-encode for Twitter
# Re-encode again for TikTok 9:16
# Lose the prompts to scrollback overflow
# Have nothing to share as Markdown

The 1DevTool Way

Click the REC pill on any AI terminal.
Replay as a chat with 1×/2×/4× playback.
Export as Markdown, HTML, or branded MP4.

Why It Matters

The productivity impact of having terminal & ai agents built into your workspace

Zero Context Switching

All your AI agents and terminals live in one window. No more alt-tabbing between 5 different terminal apps.

Visual Status Tracking

Color-coded tabs and the Kanban dashboard tell you which agents are done, running, or need attention — at a glance.

Persistent Sessions

Tmux-backed persistence means your terminal state survives crashes and restarts. Never lose scrollback history again.

Flexible Arrangements

One-click layouts adapt to your task: grid for monitoring, columns for comparing, fullscreen for deep focus.
