# Linux mouse record
<a href="https://x.com/readwithai">@readwithai</a> - <a href="https://x.com/readwith">X</a> - <a href="https://readwithai.substack.com">substack</a> - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@readerai">YouTube</a>
A *simple* command-line tool to record and replay mouse *clicks* on Linux.
# Using
```
pipx install linux-mouse-record
linux-mouse-record > recording.jsonl
linux-mouse-replay < recording.jsonl
```
The recording file is a stream of JSON lines and can be edited by hand.
# Motivation
I wanted to record a click and replay it. I found a lot of apps, but a lot of them were complicated-to-use GUIs, two didn't work, and a bunch weren't really documented.
This tool will probably never support additional features you want - unless I need them.
# Alternatives and prior work
This is mostly a wrapper about `pynput`. There are a variety of tools that do this - but I could not find a nice CLI that worked for linux and worked - though perhaps one exists.
