## What it is
Kooha is a simple, minimal screen recorder for Linux built with GTK4 and GStreamer in Rust. It records the screen with optional microphone and desktop audio, supporting WebM, MP4, GIF, and Matroska formats.

## Use cases
- record my screen on linux
- screen recorder for gnome wayland
- record screen with microphone audio
- capture a portion of the screen as gif
- simple screen recorder without complex settings
- record screen to mp4 or webm

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, click-and-record screen recorder on Linux
- you use GNOME or Wayland and need portal-based screencast support
- you need to record monitor or partial-screen video with mic/desktop audio

## When to avoid
- you need advanced editing, annotations, or webcam overlay features
- you need reliable hardware-accelerated encoding (still experimental)
- you are not on Linux or lack xdg-desktop-portal screencast support
