NAME
peek - Simple screen recorder with an easy to use interface

SYNOPSIS
peek [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION
Peek makes it easy to create short screencasts of a screen area. It was
built for the specific use case of record‐
ing 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 creat‐
ing small, silent screencasts of an area of the screen for creating GIF
animations or silent WebM or MP4 videos.
