Peek
Simple animated GIF screen recorder with an easy to use interface
Peek makes it easy to create short screencasts of a screen area. It was built for the specific use case of recording screen areas, e.g. for easily showing UI features of your own apps or for showing a bug in bug reports. With Peek, you simply place the Peek window over the area you want to record and press "Record". Peek is optimized for generating animated GIFs, but you can also directly record to WebM or MP4 if you prefer. Peek is not a general purpose screencast app with extended features but rather focuses on the single task of creating small, silent screencasts of an area of the screen for creating GIF animations or silent WebM or MP4 videos. Peek runs on X11 or inside a GNOME Shell Wayland session using XWayland. Support for more Wayland desktops might be added in the future. -

Open source approach to locally record and enable searching on Mac
Instantly access every moment you've had on your Mac, from now on. 100% local. No network. Open-source. I think the idea of recording everything you see has the potential to change how we interact with our computers and believe it should be open source. Also, that means there is no tracking/analytics of any kind, which means I don't know if you're running into bugs when you do. So please report any / all you find. -
