+# Recoder
+
+**Recoder** is a GTK4-based GUI application for video transcoding. It provides a clean, modern interface using Libadwaita and integrates with `ffmpeg` to convert videos with ease.
+
+![screenshot](resources/net.jeena.Recoder.png)
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- Simple and elegant GTK4 interface
+- Built with Libadwaita for a native GNOME look
+- Supports common video formats using `ffmpeg`
+- Lightweight and fast
+- System notifications on task completion
+
+---
+
+## 🛠 Requirements
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- GTK4
+- Libadwaita
+- `ffmpeg`
+- Python bindings:
+  - `python-gobject`
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Installation (Arch Linux)
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/jeena/recoder.git
+cd recoder
+makepkg -si
+```
+
+This will install Recoder system-wide using Pacman, so you can later remove it cleanly:
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -R recoder
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Development Setup
+
+If you're hacking on Recoder:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/jeena/recoder.git
+cd recoder
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e .
+```
+
+Then run:
+
+```bash
+recoder
+```
+
+---

+
+## 📦 Packaging
+
+Recoder follows modern Python packaging using `pyproject.toml` and `setuptools`. The Arch package installs Python modules to `site-packages` and the desktop file + icon in appropriate locations.
