What users say
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
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
