Looking for a simple tool that lets you record a section of your screen and export it as a GIF? Take a peek at Peek, a simple utility for doing exactly that!Peek 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,” explains the developer.“It is not a general purpose screen cast app with extended features and it never will be.”Peek only works with X11 and is targeted at GNOME 3. That said, it should work just dandy in Unity so long as you don’t have Locally Integrated Menus enabled.Note: the app requires ffmpeg to be installed.You can download the latest release of Peek for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS directly from the project GitHub page:https://github.com/phw/peek/releases
