## 📝 Overview
Headless recorder is a Chrome extension that records your browser interactions and generates a [Playwright](https://playwright.dev/) or [Puppeteer](http://pptr.dev/)script. Install it from the [Chrome Webstore](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/puppeteer-recorder/djeegiggegleadkkbgopoonhjimgehda) to get started!
This project builds on existing open source projects (see [Credits](#-credits)) but adds extensibility, configurability and a smoother UI. For more information, please check our [documentation](https://www.checklyhq.com/docs/headless-recorder/).
