Cute Sway Recorder

Screen recorder for wlroots-based compositors like Sway and Hyperland. For other compositors, it falls back to using wlr-randr to get outputs.

More specifically, this project is merely a graphical Qt wrapper for wf-recorder, leveraging slurp for selecting screen regions.

• green-recorder is a recent fork of the project abandoned in 2019. It doesn't use wf-recorder under the hood. It currently has more features than this project; you might want to try it first, and come back here if it gives you a hard time.
