So, *virtually* it may appear identical, but *in reality* it is a big step forward. 🌀 Gifox 2 introduced a number of new features (editor, mouse and keyboard interaction capture, file conversion, re-export, new recording and export controls) and lots of improvements (better design, faster compression, dark mode support, Catalina compatibility, numerous bug fixes). 3️⃣ Gifox 2 is virtually identical app just with a different name. See this thread for details details and workarounds. You can still use Gifox 1 on Catalina, but need to manually configure a few things. We learned this the hard way and this shouldn't happen again in the future. Unfortunately, this was unforeseeable back in 2018 and we were too far with Gifox 2 to go back on the made progress and resume patching Gifox 1. macOS 10.15 Catalina introduced new security controls which affected many apps including Gifox 1. It was designed for macOS 10.11-10.13 and works perfectly fine on these systems. 🌀 The latest version of Gifox 1 was released a long time ago in June 2018. 2️⃣ The thing is that Gifox stopped working correctly and they don't fix it, instead they make you buying working Gifox 2.

#Gifox alternative update
Edit: However, it still doesn't explain why you didn't update the first app and released a separate app instead. Both apps are kind of fine, but the business policy behind is questionable. I won't be surprised if the story will repeat some day and there will be Gifox 3 when Gifox 2 suddenly will stop working correctly. Well, at least they give you a tiny discount for being a user of the old version, so I guess that's a good thing, but still feels like a spit into the buyer's face. The thing is that Gifox stopped working correctly and they don't fix it, instead they make you buying working Gifox 2 which is virtually identical app just with a different name.
