✨ NAME ✨

asak — a cross-platform audio recording/playback CLI tool with TUI. like, it does audio, it runs on every platform, and it's got a whole TUI situation going on. main character energy fr fr 🎧👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

asak [-h|--help] [-V|--version]

that's the whole vibe check. two flags, no chaos, no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

asak is a cross-platform audio recording/playback CLI tool with TUI. yes that's the same sentence as the NAME section and no I'm not sorry — the manpage said it, I'm telling you, we're all on the same page (literally). it records audio, it plays audio, it's cross-platform so it doesn't care what OS you're on, and it's got a TUI so it's also cute to look at. the way that it just does both things 😭💖

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h, --help — prints the help. that's it, that's the whole thing. you want to know what's up? ask for help, bestie, it's literally right there 🫶
  • -V, --version — prints the version. capital V btw, don't come at me with lowercase, iykyk ⭐
okay real talk: the capital -V for version is iconic and also extremely easy to typo as -v. the manpage does not say what -v does. I'm not gonna invent lore. just use -V 🎀

🔥 VERSION 🔥

v0.4.0

she's in her 0.4.0 era ✨
