New Devices and FixesĪpple Frames 3.1 re-introduces support for the following devices, which I missed in the transition to version 3.0 last year: The shortcut will extract the necessary assets, save them in iCloud Drive/Shortcuts, and continue automatically. You can just click ‘Allow’ here without worrying about anything else. Given that this version of Apple Frames includes support for more devices, you’ll also be prompted to download a new Frames.zip file from the MacStories CDN. You can now choose a destination folder for framed images (like in version 3.0) and, for the first time, a source folder that you can use with the Apple Frames API. As with version 3.0, during setup you’ll be asked to pick a folder in iCloud Drive that will serve as the destination folder for the ‘Quick Save’ functionality in version 3.1, you’ll be asked to pick a source folder too. If you already have an older version of Apple Frames installed, you will be prompted to replace it while setting up the shortcut. To download Apple Frames 3.1, you can click the download link at the end of this article or find it in the MacStories Shortcuts Archive. I’m incredibly excited about what Apple Frames can do in version 3.1, so let’s dive in. Furthermore, even if you do want to use the Apple Frames API, you’ll see that I designed it in the spirit of Shortcuts: it does not require any code and it’s entirely powered by simple, visual ‘Text’ actions. This is why all of the new advanced features of Apple Frames are optional and hidden until you go look for them specifically. In addition to offering support for more devices that I missed in version 3.0 as well as some bug fixes, Apple Frames 3.1 brings a brand new API that lets you automate and extend the Apple Frames shortcut itself.īy making Apple Frames scriptable, I wanted to allow power users – such as designers and developers who rely on this shortcut to frame hundreds of images each week – to save valuable time without compromising the accessible nature of Apple Frames for other people. Today, I’m happy to introduce something I’ve been working on for the past couple of months: Apple Frames – my shortcut to put screenshots captured on Apple devices inside physical device frames – is getting a major upgrade to version 3.1 today. You can redownload the updated shortcut at the end of this post. This post has been updated to reflect the changes.
Update, March 3: Version 3.1.1 of Apple Frames has been released with support for a new passthrough output command. Apple Frames 3.1 comes with a lightweight Apple Frames API to extend its automation capabilities.
