Gifox
What it is
Gifox is a macOS status bar app for recording, converting, editing and sharing GIFs. It can capture a selected screen area or fit capture to an app window, with controls for the cursor, clicks, keyboard input, window shadow and desktop picture. Users can also import videos or image sequences for conversion. Its editor crops, cuts, trims and rearranges recordings or imported videos before re-export. Playback, color, resizing and dithering controls help adjust GIF quality and file size. Upload options include Dropbox, Google Drive and Imgur; after an upload, Gifox copies a public sharing link to the pasteboard. The free Basic plan limits recordings and exports to 10 seconds and adds a small watermark. Pro includes unlimited screen recording and watermark removal for $14.99 a month, billed as a one-time purchase with taxes included. The current version described in the documentation requires macOS 10.15 Catalina or later. Gifox is distributed through its website, the Mac App Store and Setapp.
