Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

Hi! I was using ScreenToGif on windows, it's the best gif recorder IMO. I recently switched to mac m1 and this is the only software I couldn't find a replacement for. Is there any plan to support mac? If there is a private test version I would love to be a tester.

I'd love this as well. Can Macs run .NET code now?

Yes, it can run .NET code, but UI and system-specific related calls (to capture images/video for example) needs to be ported manually.

I'm currently working on a rewrite for the app (for v3), after that I'm planning on creating a small proof of concept with some of the available UI solutions. I just need a mac computer for that :)

Cool! I've used JavaFX with great success for cross-platform desktop apps.

I'll probably use Avalonia, and reuse everything that I can.

But I'll need a computer with macOS, and where I'm from (Brazil) it is not cheap (actually it's the most expensive place to buy a Mac).

I also took some time to review the codebase and explore what it would take to port it to macOS. As mentioned before, it’s not a trivial effort - even with AI helping out 😄
A move to Avalonia would likely be necessary, which would probably mean rewriting around 80% of the application.

That said, I truly miss having this tool on macOS. I’m very grateful for all the time I was able to use it on Windows - it’s been incredibly useful. In the meantime, I’d like to share an open-source alternative for macOS that can at least record the screen and export to GIF:

https://getkap.co/
https://github.com/wulkano/Kap

As soon as ScreenToGif becomes macOS-compatible, I’ll switch back without hesitation 😁
And if there’s any way I can support the process, I’d be more than happy to help.

Thanks so much for all the hard work and dedication ❤️
