Jeff For Mac

Jeff offers you the possibility to capture desktop events as easy to share GIF animations. The utility integrates with your Dropbox account and makes both the recording and sharing processes remarkably straightforward.

Right off the bat, Jeff prompts for your Dropbox credentials, and you must authorize the app to control certain aspects related to your account. Jeff creates a separate folder in your Dropbox Apps directory that will host all the generated GIF image files.

To start recording, you can either press the button included in the Jeff status bar panel, or make use of the default hotkeys: Shift + Command + 5 for capturing only the selected area, or Shift + Command + 6 to record the entire screen.

Worth mentioning is that you can change the default keyboard combinations via the Jeff Preferences window. The same area includes the option to add Jeff to the list of login items.

Jeff offers you the possibility to select the area of the screen you want to capture, but it can also record your entire desktop activity. This way you can easily create various types of tutorials or presentations that will eliminate the need for lengthy explanations.

All the Jeff GIF animations will be automatically uploaded to your Dropbox account, and the direct URL is placed on your clipboard once the transfer is complete. You can review all your projects in the Jeff status bar panel and easily delete or share the entries again.

To sum up, Jeff can help you create presentations or short tutorials without having to deal with complex editing tools, files that are too large to be transferred easily or use a format that requires particular third party apps to open them.

Jeff will simply capture the desktop events, upload the GIF animation to your Dropbox account, place the direct URL to file on your clipboard and display a notification when the procedure is complete.
