I couldn't get it to work on my mac (M1 Max).

- A short recording saves a file of zero bytes.

- When you record a gaming session (Geforce Now), it crashes the system, causing a reboot. I realize it may not have been meant for it, but it shouldn't be crashing the entire system.

But it would certainly be cool to have a simpler alternative to OBS for recording programming sessions. Does anyone know of a suitable tool?

Every single major OS ships with a simple screen recorder. Name your OS and I'll tell you the name of the screen recorder you already have installed right now.
For recording a programming session or a timelapse? From experience, Qucktime on macOS isn’t practical due to file size.
