Today, I’m very happy to introduce Apple Frames 4, a major update
to my shortcut for framing screenshots taken on Apple devices with
official Apple product bezels. Apple Frames 4 is a complete
rethinking of the shortcut that is noticeably faster, updated to
support all the latest Apple devices, and designed to support even
more personalization options. For the first time ever, Apple
Frames supports multiple colors for each device, allowing you to
mix and match different colored bezels for each framed screenshot;
it also supports proportional scaling when merging screenshots
from different Apple devices.But that’s not all. In addition to an updated shortcut, I’m also
releasing the Apple Frames CLI, an open source
command-line utility that lets developers and tinkerers automate
the process of framing screenshots directly from the Mac’s
Terminal. And there’s more: the Apple Frames CLI is also
designed to work with AI agents, and it comes with a Claude
Code/Codex skill that lets coding agents take care of framing
dozens or even hundreds of screenshots in just a few seconds, from
any folder on your Mac.
I’ve been using this recently and it is super helpful. I must
frame dozens of screenshots a week and always looking for more
efficient workflows for it.
