Full-screen recording mode makes it too easy to accidentally record frames until your hard drive is full #64

Today while working on some stuff I happened to glance up and saw a “Your startup drive is nearly full” error message. Considering that just yesterday I cleaned up a couple of unused virtual machines and noticed that I had over 300 GB of space available, I found this to be rather odd…

Before it ran out of space I ran Daisy Disk to see what was gobbling up the space, and sure enough there was Jeff, which had snacked on about 280 GB of my disk (not sure what was grabbing the other…). Anyway, here’s the odd thing. I wasn’t running Jeff, I haven’t been using Jeff recently, and there was no indication either in the Dock or in the menu bar that the app was running.

Needless to say, I am using my good friend Daisy Disk to delete all of those individual Jeff frames and I’ve also deleted Jeff until I get answers from you. Is there any way that Jeff can be launched accidentally or remotely?

My best guess is that Jeff somehow started recording the entire screen, and since there is no time limit and the menu bar icon isn't super-obvious, they didn't notice until their hard drive was full.
