Kap

brew install --cask kap v3.6.0

Open-source screen recorder that captures and exports video/GIF in a lightweight native app.

Why you might care

Built with web tech (Electron) so it's lightweight and cross-platform. Open-source means no telemetry or paywalls, and you can modify it. Good for quick demo recordings and GIF creation without complex editing.
