I have to admit, I’d never thought that a video player would also offer the functions to record your screen, but I’ve come to find out QuickTime Play does offer that exact feature, at least on Mac OS (haven’t checked the Windows version yet). However, there is no Mac OS version of ShareX, so I had to check for myself if there is another app offering the required features and I was surprised to find out that Mac OS Sierra already comes with a solution. Since it makes sense to publish it as video guide, as well as in a written version, the first question I asked myself was “how the fuck am I able to record my screen?” On Windows 10 I relied on ShareX, which offers a lot of features and still is easy to use. I’m currently working on setting up dual boot with Kali Linux on my MacBook Pro and was a bit shocked that there is a lack of howto’s online regarding this task, so I decided to create a tutorial on my own. I was quite impressed when I found at that MacOS comes with an actual Screen Recorder on board.

However, since I got a MacBook Pro running with Mac OS Sierra, I’m trying to change that force of habit and find on-board software to use and solve my problems. As a former Microsoft fanboy and Windows 10 user, I’m quite used to relying on 3rd party software to get the job done.
