FrameOS

Probably one of the coolest products I've tried in recent times.

The masking is the feature I'd have skipped and then regretted. Every app demo I've recorded has a real phone number or a test account email sitting in a status bar somewhere, and I always find it after the export. What I'd want to know is whether the mask tracks the element when the view scrolls, because the static rectangle version is the one everyone ships and nobody trusts.

this looks like the sort of things that quietly makes your work come across as more polished than it is. The finished results feel really sharp, and that is exactly the impression I want when I put something in front of people

Investor demos make sense, but I’d use this more for internal updates and quick client walkthroughs. Those are the recordings I keep putting off.

I’d stick with this if the editing is good enough. If I still need another app to trim or add captions, I’ll probably go back to my old workflow.

I can actually see myself using this for onboarding. Right now, even small feature explanations take way longer than they should.

The thing I'd want to know before switching is audio drift. Recording the phone screen over the cable while the Mac mic runs separately usually pulls a few frames apart by the end of a three minute take, and fixing that is the exact job people came here to avoid. Do you timestamp both streams at capture or correct it on export? Also, the demo I care about most is the bug repro, not the investor video, and those are usually one take with no editing at all.

Today, we’re launching FrameOS! 🎉

Let’s start with the why.

Recording a demo of your iOS or Android app is far more complicated than it needs to be.

You record your device. Record your camera separately. Bring everything into a video editor. Line it all up. Fix the layout. Export it.

It’s a lot of work for a 30-second video of you talking about your app.

That’s why we built FrameOS.

FrameOS gives you one place to record polished demos of your mobile apps. Connect your device, add your camera and microphone, choose your layout, and hit record.

When you’re done, you can make the edits you’d expect — trim, crop, resize and polish your recording — without moving everything into another tool.

What can you use FrameOS for?

Share feedback with your product team. Record a bug for an engineer. Walk someone through a new feature. Create a polished product demo for your investors. Or simply show the world what you’ve built.

One tool, from recording to finished demo.

And we’re only getting started. There’s a lot more coming to FrameOS.

We’d love for you to try it, tell us what you think, and let us know what you’d like us to build next. ❤️
