## What it is
vokoscreenNG is a free and open-source screen recording application for Linux (X11 and Wayland) and Windows, written in C++. It records the full screen, an area, or a window, with multi-source audio, webcam overlay, and helper tools like countdown, timer, magnifier, Showclick, and Halo.

- you prefer native packages or Flatpak with mkv/mp4/gif output
