While it has quite a few screen recording related features, which you'll see below, SimpleScreenRecorder doesn't have any extras on top of that. It should also be noted that the tool doesn't try to do anything else other than recording your screen.

SimpleScreenRecorder is a Qt5 screen recorder for X11 that supports OpenGL. The article initially only included 4 screencast tools, but I later added one more (RecApp).

All work under X11, and there are also a few solutions for recording your Linux screen under Wayland. This article presents 5 tools for recording your Linux desktop.
