Discover a game-changing app for Mac users, Framous, designed to elevate the presentation of your screenshots with professionally styled device frames. Launched recently, this innovative tool is perfect for app developers, graphic designers, and journalists looking to enhance the visual appeal of their images by adding mockups or templates of devices like iPhones or Macs. This feature is particularly valuable for crafting compelling App Store screenshots, creating eye-catching landing pages, and producing striking header images for articles.
The brainchild of Charlie Chapman, the developer behind the Dark Noise app, Framous was born out of a need for a simple, efficient way to frame screenshots without the hassle of hunting down templates and manually placing images. Unlike existing apps and extensions such as iFrames and SMPRO, Framous focuses specifically on the needs of Mac users, offering a seamless and intuitive experience.
Framous simplifies the process by enabling users to effortlessly drag and drop or copy and paste their screenshots into the app. The app then instantly wraps them in the appropriate device frames, chosen from a diverse library that includes popular Apple devices like the Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple TV 4K. One of its standout features is the ability to combine multiple devices into a single image and switch to landscape mode for iPhones.
Enhance your creativity with Framous’s extensive customization options. You can reposition device buttons, alter frame colors, and utilize an edge-to-edge mode that fully displays your photo within the frame – a style reminiscent of contemporary iPhones. If needed, export your images to design platforms like Figma or Sketch for further enhancements.
Looking towards the future, Chapman has exciting plans for Framous, including adding even more customization options for frame backgrounds, shadows, and padding. He also envisions incorporating video support and the functionality to save templates. An iOS version of the app is on the horizon as well.
Framous is available for free download on the Mac App Store. To access all frame updates through 2025, users can opt for a one-time purchase of $19.99, or choose a $9.99 yearly subscription to continuously receive the latest frames as they’re released. With its user-friendly interface and powerful features, Framous is set to become an indispensable tool for anyone looking to elevate their digital content.
