## Description

Terminalizer is a command-line utility designed to record, edit, and share terminal sessions. It captures raw input and output streams from terminal processes, storing them in structured files that preserve the exact sequence of commands and their visual results for future review, archiving, or documentation.

The tool distinguishes itself by offering extensive visual customization and flexible export options. Users can modify the timing, content, and appearance of recordings—including themes, fonts, and window frames—through a configuration schema. These sessions can be rendered into high-quality animated images or converted into embeddable web players, allowing for interactive playback directly within a browser.

Beyond local recording and playback, the platform supports remote asset hosting, enabling users to share terminal activity via public links. It provides a comprehensive suite for creating professional visual demonstrations, making it suitable for technical documentation, software tutorials, and team knowledge sharing.
