FrameCastShape
Circle, squircle, star, heart, and the rest. Add a ring, a shadow, and a look you can save.
A LITTLE YOU. A LOT OF POSSIBILITY.
Your next great take.
Be present. Share an idea. Make the screen your stage. FrameCast is the menu bar studio for a shaped camera, a recording frame, and a brief you can hand to an AI.

From idea to recording.
Make something worth sharing.
- 01
Find your look
A camera overlay that feels like you. Shape, color, framing, and saved presets.
- 02
Set the scene
Add a title, live captions, or a photo. Give your story another layer.
- 03
Capture your screen
Follow the action. Choose a frame and bring your voice along.
Camera & look
A little you, in the corner of the work.
Background
Keep the room, blur it, drop in a flat color for chroma key, or leave only you.
Picture
Pick the camera, frame the shot, and let face tracking follow you. Mirror or freeze when you need a still.
Window
Click through so the overlay ignores the mouse. Pin the camera inside the recording frame so it rides along.
Screen recording
Follow the action.
Place a frame on the display, zoom into the part that matters, and record it. System audio is separate from your voice — turn the microphone on when you want to be in the take. Shortcuts keep the repeated moves off the mouse.
Overlays
Set the scene.
- A title, a photo, or another crop of the screen, each in its own window.
- Live captions from speech recognition on your Mac.
- An optional key display while you demonstrate. Leave it off for passwords.
Video briefs
Give your video a memory.
Turn a recording into structured evidence for an AI: speech, on-screen text, visual notes, and selected images, with timestamps. It is processed on your Mac. You get self-describing JSON, or a compressed bundle with a storyboard. Briefs are sampled — short actions can be missed, and those limits travel with the file.
- Read the screen
- On-screen text, image categories, and face and human locations, aligned to the timeline.
- Follow the words
- Automatic speech transcription on your Mac, with the original timing.
- Take it anywhere
- Export the brief yourself. FrameCast does not upload it.
