Revolutionizing the Apple Frames Shortcut: Introducing a Cutting-Edge CLI for the Terminal

Federico Viticci from MacStories has released a significant update to his Apple Frames shortcut, which allows users to frame their screenshots with official Apple product bezels.

This latest version, Apple Frames 4, represents a complete overhaul of the shortcut, boasting improved speed, support for all the latest Apple devices, and enhanced personalization options.

Viticci managed to reduce the number of steps in Apple Frames from over 800 to around 300, resulting in a faster and more reliable tool that adapts to the evolving Apple ecosystem.

One of the key features of Apple Frames 4 is the introduction of frame colors, offering users the ability to choose from a variety of colored bezels officially offered by Apple.

In addition, Apple Frames 4 now supports device variants, allowing users to select specific device models for framing. The update also includes proportional scaling for merging screenshots from different Apple devices.

Viticci has also developed a command-line interface (CLI) for Apple Frames, allowing users to frame screenshots directly in Terminal on their Mac. This CLI is particularly useful for developers and marketers who work with screenshots regularly.
