Show HN: A free and open source session recording Chrome extension

3•mohsen1•1h ago
Hey HN,

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.
