Frametap

frametap is very early in development. Definitely do not use it just yet.

A cross platform screen capture library for MacOS, Windows, and Linux.

Frametap can:

  • Deliver live frame information from your screen.
  • Capture GIFs.
  • Export frames as PNGs.

Why?

I wanted a screen capture app that lets me control the compression, quantization, dithering, etc. Surprisingly, there's nothing that can do all that on all three major OSes (well, except for FFMPEG – but that's a command line tool).

Hopefully, once the library is mature, I'll be able to use it to build such an app. While I'm still figuring thngs out, you can try LICECap — it's pretty solid!

Goals

  • Cross platform
    • MacOS: ScreenCaptureKit and CoreGraphics (AVFoundation at some point).
    • Windows: Win32 API.
    • Linux: Figure something out with Wayland / dbus.
  • Fast. Drop as few frames as possible.
  • Control over parameters such as FPS, Quantization algorithm, dithering, etc.
