### Installation


Just `pip install asl_screenlapse`

### How to use

Run `asl` at bootup, with a cronjob, Autostart, etc. It will take screenshots at intervals, but if more than a certaing time is between them (i.e. different session), asl will create a new numbered folder. Whenever you want, run `asl-timelapse` to create timelapses.
Daemonization is flexible. Run `asl` at bootup, with DE Autostart, WM config, systemd service, etc. It will take screenshots in `$HOME/asl-scrots` at intervals, but if more than a certain time passes between them (i.e. different boot), it will create a new numbered folder.

Whenever you want, run `asl-timelapse` to create timelapses in `$HOME/asl-summaries`, named according to folder number and in the WEBM format.
