    Far away from Peek, it cannot record in GIF format and even with it convert option, it doesn't create the GIF file. For screen recording, it does the job correctly.

    Captures sections of a screen equally as simple and quick as Peek, but with the option of recording sound (Desktop and/or Microphone) as well.

    Probably the best option on Wayland, to record GIF. The missing point Peek manages better is if you want to record a specific area, you can choose it but when recording, you don't know where it is
