Screen to Gif and Terminal Screencam

I want to share with you two tools I use a lot on some situation, where I need to write short manuals for co-worker or end-customers.

ScreenToGif allows you to record a selected area of your screen, edit and save it as a gif or video.

It is a very compact portable C# application and it is easy to edit the outcome to adjust it, and/or provide some extra instructions placing post-it in the right area.

Sadly there is no macOS variant, I am tring https://www.cockos.com/licecap/ but it offers ‘only’ gif capture. For out of the box simple screen capture, macOS provides its own hot-keys.

The other tool is https://asciinema.org/ which enables beautful screen capture and re-plays, but require a bit of work for standalone hosting. On Linux I prefer script/scriptreplay shipped with the util-linux package because it produces a very simple output, and you can make a gif of it :)
