Simple, efficient and easy to use! It'd be even better if it had the option to support sound recording.
Simple, easy to use very effective and takes up very little disk space. I used to use Peek but on my Toshiba i3 Satellite, it was always very jerky and often missed chunks of movement particularly at the start of recording an animated gif or with a large grab area. It also lacked any visual indications of mouse clicks. When I went to install Peek on a new Mint 20 installation it wanted to take up 2.4Gb of disk space as a Flathub so I went looking for something else and found this brilliant Deepin tool. It works almost the same way as Peek but creates smooth animated gifs and has nice visual indications of mouse clicks.
