Crazy dark pattern for a command line utility.

If you miss filename, recording goes to some server.

Yep, recording and upload should really be two separate commands by default.

Thanks. This behavior dates back to 2011, and while there 2 separate commands you can use today (asciinema rec <filename> + asciinema upload <filename>) the demo on the homepage and the docs may be giving wrong impression. This will be definitely improved in the upcoming 3.0.

When recording finishes you are given the option to upload or save to local file.

There’s no bad intention here, and there’s upload confirmation prompt in versions prior to 2.4, while in 2.4+ you make explicit choice (save, upload, discard). In upcoming 3.0 we will probably decouple upload from record command completely.
