Recordings are local by design — nothing leaves your machine unless you export it. slomo export turns a session or an issue into a single shareable file.

What an issue export contains

Exporting an issue packages the whole diagnosis: the issue’s metadata (category, severity, occurrences, first/last seen), a sample traceback, and the timeline context around the latest incident — essentially issue show + doctor in a portable form. Exporting a session packages the run: metadata (argv, python version, host, exit status) and its event timeline.

​
Security note

Exports are generated from the recorded timelines, which were redacted at capture time — so secrets aren’t in the export because they were never on disk to begin with. Still, an export contains real arguments, queries, and URLs from your application. Treat it like a log file: share deliberately.
For automation, prefer slomo replay REF --json (raw events on stdout, jq-friendly) when you want a stream, and slomo export json when you want a file under .slomo/exports/.
