quikgif list-devices

List the iPhones and iPads connected to this Mac by cable. Use this to find the name or ID to pass to quikgif record --device.

quikgif list-devices
quikgif list-devices --format json

Flag	Type	Description
`--format`	`String`	`text` (default) or `json`

The command waits a few seconds for devices to appear: macOS only makes a device's screen available after QuikGIF asks for it, and it shows up shortly afterwards.

With --format json, the output is an array of {"id": ..., "name": ...} objects ([] when nothing is connected).
