What users say
Flameshot
"Free annotation specialist across Linux, Mac, and Windows; recording is not the quoted strength."
Pros
This is like the WinRAR of Screenshot Annotating apps I was hunting for an alternative for ShareX (Windows) and am glad to find this one
Loom
"Cloud async video with a 1.3 average; cancel and record-fail comments dominate."
Pros
The desktop app makes it easy to capture videos to send to colleagues. Videos are easy to share
