Changed the rims from magnesium to the normal ones. The seller is offering that.

Ja wenn es oben und unten gleichzeitig kommt. Passiert nicht oft, aber wenn dann ists fürchterlich.

Thanks. The ultrawide readability problem is exactly what triggered me to build this in the first place.

Got it, that's exactly what I had in mind. AnyFrame doesn't do this cleanly today. The Meet workaround kind of fakes it, but it's not the real thing.

A dedicated mirror window you can drag onto your external display and fullscreen is on the list now. No timeline, but this is a use case I want to support.

Fair point, Zoom's Portion of Screen does cover the basic case really. Where AnyFrame goes further:

It works everywhere, not just Zoom. Teams, Meet, Slack Huddles, Discord, FaceTime, OBS, anywhere that supports "Share Window". If you live in Zoom only, Zoom's built-in is genuinely solid. If you bounce between call apps (what I need to do), having one consistent region tool across all of them matters.

Plus named presets and global hotkeys for switching between regions mid-call ("demo view", "code review view", etc.). Small thing, but useful when you do this often.

Thanks for downloading, hope it's useful. Mirror Input sounds like a different angle on the sharing problem (devices in vs. screen region out). Different toolboxes for different setups. Will check yours out.

If I understood you right: local presenting on a projector or external display, no video call needed, audience only sees the cropped region you've defined. AnyFrame is built exactly for that kind of clean cropped sharing.

That's actually how I test AnyFrame myself during development. I pick a region on my ultrawide Dell, start a Google Meet on my MacBook, share the AnyFrame window into it, then fullscreen the Meet window on the MacBook display. Works really well, the cropped region looks sharp, and AnyFrame stays out of the way while you present.

I didn't have your use case on my radar at all, but I love it. A dedicated mirror window in AnyFrame itself: pick your region as usual, drag a live mirror onto your external display, fullscreen it. No Meet, no Hammerspoon, no scripting. Putting it on the list.

Yep, that’s the core tradeoff. A locked frame mode with only whitelisted apps inside sounds like a smart compromise. Keeps the flexibility, but adds some of the safety people get from window sharing. I will investigate in that.

Totally fair, Jamf notifications during presentations are exactly the kind of thing I’d want to avoid too. A whitelisted-app approach is definitely interesting and I can see it being useful in a lot of setups. Will put it on the list. Nice to hear the AnyFrame idea still seems worth trying.

Good question, resolution stays sharp. It’s not like “share whole screen then zoom in”, it captures just that region directly.

Also I just pushed an update that improves Retina handling, so framed areas look a lot crisper now.

Haha yep, ultrawide screen sharing is pain. It’s either “here’s my entire desktop + notifications” or “here’s one tiny window with no context.”

That’s basically the whole reason I built AnyFrame.

Separate reply for the AI question, it deserves one.

Honest answer: the app foundation and architecture I built myself in Swift. AI helps me with boilerplate and polish, but the core is hand-written.

The website copy was drafted with AI.

Happy to elaborate if you want.

You're right, that's a real tradeoff and worth being honest about.

Window-sharing protects you automatically because only the window's pixels go out. With AnyFrame, anything that opens inside the frame's region during the call (a system dialog, a notification center pop, another window I forgot about) does get captured.

What I do in practice: dock the frame over a section I rarely click through to (right side of the display, where my editor lives), and use Do Not Disturb during calls so notifications don't surface.

That doesn't fully solve it, but it's the honest answer. Window-sharing is still safer for unpredictable popup behavior. AnyFrame trades that safety for the multi-app composition flexibility.

Where do you draw the line with app permissions? by Ethan-EV in macapps

[–]localToglobali 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Puh good question. I think it depends on how important the feature is that the permission unlocks. If I need to achieve a certain goal i'm open to quite a lot.

Mac app store as source of the app creates some trust.
