Unsigned Application NoticeSince Frame is currently unsigned, your operating system will flag it as an unverified application. Follow the platform-specific instructions below to run Frame on your system.

​
Platform-Specific Installation

​
macOS Installation

​
Option 1: Homebrew (Recommended)

Install and update Frame easily using the official Homebrew Tap:
1

Add the Frame tap

brew tap 66HEX/frame
2

Install Frame

brew install --cask frame
3

Remove quarantine attribute

Since the application is unsigned, macOS will flag the app and its sidecar binaries with a quarantine attribute. Remove it manually:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Frame.app

​
Option 2: Direct Download

1

Download the DMG

Download the latest .dmg file from the GitHub releases page.
2

Install the application

Open the DMG and drag Frame to your Applications folder.
3

Remove quarantine attribute

Open Terminal and run:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Frame.app
This removes the quarantine flag that prevents unsigned applications from running.
4

Launch Frame

You can now launch Frame from your Applications folder or Spotlight.
Apple Silicon Users: Frame includes native support for VideoToolbox hardware acceleration (H.264 and HEVC encoding) on M-series chips.

​
Build from Source

For contributors or users who prefer to build Frame themselves:

​
Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

​
Build Steps

1

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/66HEX/frame.git
cd frame
2

Install dependencies

bun install
Or with npm:
npm install
3

Setup FFmpeg binaries

Frame requires FFmpeg and FFprobe as sidecar binaries. Run the setup script to download the correct versions for your platform:
bun run setup:ffmpeg
4

Setup AI upscaler (optional)

For Real-ESRGAN AI upscaling support, download the required models:
bun run setup:upscaler
5

Run in development mode

bun tauri dev
This launches Frame in development mode with hot reload.
6

Build for production

bun tauri build
The compiled application will be in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/.
Development Tip: The development build includes DevTools and hot module replacement for faster iteration. Production builds are optimized with LTO and stripped symbols for minimal binary size.

​
Verification

After installation, verify Frame is working correctly:
  1. Launch the application
  2. Add a sample media file using the file dialog or drag-and-drop
  3. Check that the video preview loads (if applicable)
  4. Verify that metadata is detected in the Source tab
If you encounter issues, check the Troubleshooting section or report issues on GitHub.
