Peek is a screen recording tool for the Linux desktop that focuses on easily saving part of the screen as an animated GIF. You place its window over the area you want to record and press a button, and the area inside the window is recorded. It uses ffmpeg internally and can also save to APNG, WebM, and MP4 besides GIF. It is handy for adding short demos to bug reports or READMEs, and its development has now been discontinued.
