FrameCast

Support

Get a take on screen.

FrameCast lives in the menu bar. Open the studio from there, then grant only the privacy permissions the feature you are using asks for. macOS 26.5 or later.

Permissions

Each one is in System Settings → Privacy & Security. The studio lists the same items and opens the matching pane when a permission is still off.

  • Camera

    Required for the floating camera.

  • Microphone

    Required for live captions and recorded audio.

  • Screen Recording

    Required to preview and record a crop of the display. After you allow it, quit and reopen FrameCast.

  • Speech Recognition

    Required to transcribe speech into caption overlays.

  • Input Monitoring

    Required to show keys you press in other apps. Quit and reopen FrameCast after allowing it.

  • Accessibility

    Used with the key overlay. Quit and reopen FrameCast after allowing it.

Recording

System audio does not include your voice. Turn on the microphone if you want to be in the recording. The camera can pin itself inside the crop so it rides along when the frame moves.

Keys on screen

The key overlay shows what you press. Don’t type passwords, card numbers, or other secrets while it is visible.

Voice-over

Open Voice-over in the video editor, choose the entire transcript or one segment, and choose a voice. Catalogue samples are free. The generation section shows the total price before you press Generate. The generated take appears in Audio assets and on the timeline; exporting reuses it without another generation charge. Transcription runs on your Mac. Sign in from the FrameCast menu and add credits at getframecast.com/account.

Video briefs

Briefs are sampled evidence: speech, on-screen text, and selected images with timestamps. Short actions or small details can be missed. Those limits travel with the export. Analysis uses the full original recording, including areas outside a preview crop, and it runs on your Mac.

The website

How the app handles media is described on the privacy page. Reviews go through the Mac App Store listing.
