# Roton Screen Recorder Roton v1.0.1 is a fast Wayland screen recorder built with Rust and Iced. It wraps `wl-screenrec` with a small GUI so recording does not have to live in the terminal.   ## About I wanted a quick performance screen recorder app. Then I found `wl-screenrec`, and it was fast enough that I stopped using bigger studio apps. The only catch was that it runs from the CLI, so Roton gives it a GUI. Roton can record fullscreen, a selected monitor, or a selected area. You can choose the output format, include or hide the cursor, record screen audio, record a microphone, mute audio, pause and resume recordings, and keep the app available from the tray. ## Features - `wl-screenrec` recording backend - MP4, MKV, and WEBM output - fullscreen, monitor, or `scrop` area recording - optional cursor capture - optional screen audio capture - optional microphone capture - pause/resume by segmenting recordings and concatenating with `ffmpeg` - recording completion notification - custom titlebar with minimal window controls - tray icon and optional minimize-to-tray close behavior - close confirmation while recording when minimize-to-tray is off ## Run This Project 1. Install Rust by following the [getting-started guide](https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started). After that, `rustc` and `cargo` should be available in your `PATH`. 2. Install the runtime tools: ```sh sudo pacman -S ffmpeg xdg-desktop-portal pipewire-pulse yay -S scrop-bin ``` Roton also needs `wl-screenrec` and `pactl`. Install them from your preferred Arch repo/AUR source if they are not already available. 3. Clone this repository: ```sh git clone https://github.com/ferdinankurnian/roton-iced.git cd roton-iced ``` 4. Build with `cargo`: ```sh cargo build ``` 5. Run the application: ```sh cargo run ``` ## Runtime Tools Roton needs these tools at runtime: - `ffmpeg` - `xdg-desktop-portal` - `pipewire-pulse` - `wl-screenrec` - `scrop` - `pactl` Tray support also needs an AppIndicator runtime: - `libayatana-appindicator3` or `libappindicator3` ## Notes - Roton v1.0.1 targets Wayland only. - Audio devices are read from `pactl list sources`. - Screen area selection uses `scrop`. - Tray support uses StatusNotifier/AppIndicator through `tray-icon`.
