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.
