Default Dryer vent heat exchanger, lint filter? What's this called?

I need to add a heat exchanger/lint catcher on the end of my dryer
vent. I read that home depot sold a product like this. Does anyone
know the name of this thing.

(The electric dryer venting will stay inside the house and go into the
heat exchanger instead of going outside.)

I used to use the indoor lint trap on a small apartment sized dryer and
it never caught 100% of the lint. What's worse, it also put 100% of
the moisture content of the clothing into the house. Not recommended.
