Best in its class

Do yourself a favor an grab a copy of this. I was using Licecap before and tried a bunch of different capture tools. Not only Claquette produces artifact free and highly compressed videos/GIFs, it also has this visual indicator for people to see where you clicked.From my side I always end up trimming and cropping videos to focus on just what I want, and if there is any improvement I would give as feedback to the devs are to have a mode where you can select the area to capture to avoid the crop step in the end.
GIF-tastic

I can’t speak to the pro offerings in Claquette, only to its animated GIF export, but what it does with GIFs is phenomenal. Claquette produces what everyone wants in a GIF: high quality with small filesize. Several advanced options are provided when exporting, but I haven’t had the need to adjust much of anything — the export quality is fantastic “out of the box”. The one quibble I have is what other users have expressed here: no importing of existing movie/video content. I use multiple apps that can generate motion content, so it’s a bit frustrating to have to physically play the media on-screen to get it into Claquette. But even with the added hassle, the efficient output that Claquette provides makes the effort worthwhile. Highly recommended.
Constantly overloading my storage, no option to solve this
Gkoeka
I have tried to use this tool, which has tested successfully when using a bluetooth headset for recordings, to save job interviews for working with my coach. Everytime it maxes out my storage and the usability of the product to solve for where the file is located is inept. I expect to easily identify where the folder is on my Mac to clear out old recordings but that is not simple to do. Plus when I run out of storage, my recording stops immediately until I am done and I cannot try to start a new one during an interview. I recognize I don't pay for this but this is unacceptable and does not solve the job I am trying to do. Nor does it give me confidence or any desire to pay you for more value.

Great app. The gentlemen forming this app takes the time to respond and help with any problems. He allowed a beta use and helped with that as well.However I have an issue that has arisen. Recording a project with a tb of internal space. Claquette drops the recording stating I dont have enough space. I dont know why this happenes when I have as I said 1TB of space, 620 gb of free space. It happened several times already.
Developer Response
Updated Response: Claquette periodically checks for free disk space to ensure to not completely fill up your disk. Since version 2.2 it's also possible to define a storage location that is used during recording. Please contact us via the "Help" -> "Request Support" menu item in the app and we'll do our best to find out what's causing the recording stops.Thank you for the review and your kind words!
