| Alternative | Why I did not keep it |
|---|---|
| OBS Studio | OBS for any serious use (YouTube, streaming, product tutorials). iShowU for a quick capture with no setup. Better at: Free, open source, streaming, scenes, multiple sources, highly configurable Worse at: Complex interface, long initial setup |
| QuickTime Player | QuickTime is enough to capture the screen without sound. iShowU if you need the Mac's internal sound. Better at: Free, built into macOS, nothing to install Worse at: No native system audio (before macOS Sonoma), limited options |
| CleanShot X | CleanShot X covers most cases. iShowU for long recordings with system audio. Better at: Video AND screenshot capture, annotations, cloud, all in one Worse at: No advanced system audio capture |
