I can strongly recommend ScreenToGIF [1]. It literally does as the name says but packs in some helpful additional features related to editing.

One man's "helpful additional features" are another man's feature bloat. Specialization vs. Universality and all that.

I find that for a quick capture/re-capture grabs, with no editing, STF adds too many extraneous clicks and interaction. Heck, even GifCam [1] is too UX heavy for back-to-back captures.

The whole point of Giffer is that you launch it, size it, press F1, press F1 again. Done. To re-record do F1/F1 again. That's it.

Finally remembered what it reminds me of: LiceCap from https://www.cockos.com/licecap/
