Questions aboutFrameOS.
Have another question?
Get in touch.
Why use FrameOS instead of a basic screen recorder?
A basic recorder gives you a raw clip. FrameOS gives you a finished video. Record your phone and camera together, then cut the pauses, add zooms, captions and music, and export, without moving to another editor or learning a professional one.
How much does FrameOS cost?
FrameOS is a one-time purchase of $39.99 USD. Your licence includes every feature, activation on up to 3 Macs, automatic updates and lifetime support. Your licence key arrives by email. Enter it in FrameOS to activate the app.
Which screen does FrameOS record?
Your connected iPhone, iPad or Android screen. FrameOS runs on your Mac and records the phone or tablet while you use it. It can also record your camera or an iOS Simulator. It does not record your Mac’s desktop.
Does FrameOS work with Android?
Yes. FrameOS records Android phones and tablets on your Mac. Connect your device with a data-capable USB cable, turn on USB debugging and allow the connection on your device. Then record your screen, add your camera and voice, and edit in FrameOS. Device audio requires Android 11 or later. FrameOS runs on macOS 14 or later.
Do I need to be an app developer?
No. Use FrameOS to make a phone tutorial, record gameplay, create a screenshot post or show someone what to tap. Developers can also record apps they have built and prepare videos and screenshots for their store listings.
Why isn’t there a red recording dot?
FrameOS records the connected iPhone or iPad from your Mac, so you do not switch on its built-in screen recorder. This avoids that recorder’s indicator; FrameOS does not remove indicators from an existing video.
Do I need a physical device to record?
No. You can record an iOS Simulator or just your camera. To record a physical iPhone, iPad or Android device, connect it to your Mac with a data-capable USB cable. Apple devices need to be unlocked and trust the Mac; Android devices need USB debugging and authorisation. FrameOS runs on macOS 14 or later.
Can I record my camera and microphone?
Yes. Record a camera alongside your device and add microphone narration. You can also record just the camera. Device audio support depends on the source; Android device audio requires Android 11 or later.
Can I change the camera layout after recording?
Yes. If you record both your camera and device, you can switch between Device, Camera + Device and Camera layouts in the editor. Adjust their timing and framing without recording again.
Can I use a video as my background?
Yes. Choose a video from your Mac in Canvas. It fills the background, plays silently and loops throughout your recording and export. Video backgrounds are for recordings; screenshots can use a colour or still image.
Can I place my device, camera and logo myself?
Yes. Before you record, choose Free on canvas to drag and resize your device and camera, overlap them or let them extend beyond the canvas edges. Add a logo or image freely, arrange it with your content or pin it to one of nine canvas positions. Choose which content sits in front; your placement carries through to export.
Can I reuse a recording setup?
Yes. Start with a template or build your own scene, then save the look for another recording. The Scene sidebar brings your canvas, layout, background, artwork and camera appearance together with a live preview.
How do captions work?
On macOS 26 or later, FrameOS can turn recorded microphone narration into English captions using Apple’s on-device transcription. The English speech model may need to download first. You can edit the transcript and caption appearance before export.
Does my recording need to be uploaded?
No. Capture, editing and rendering happen on your Mac. Your footage does not need to be uploaded to a cloud editor. Licensing, analytics and speech-model downloads use online services separately.
Can I make videos and images for an App Store page?
FrameOS includes App Store sizing presets and tools for framed snapshots. Presets help prepare the format; you still need to check the store’s current content, duration and file-size requirements before submitting.
Can I export without a background?
Yes. Export your device recording as a transparent MOV using HEVC with alpha, then use it in another video project. This format works best in Apple apps. Website playback may need a separate browser-compatible version.
