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 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.
