Install and permissions

VeyFrame needs macOS 15 or later on a Mac with Apple silicon.

Install

  1. Download VeyFrame and open the disk image.
  2. Drag VeyFrame to Applications.
  3. Open it from Applications. If macOS says it can't verify the developer, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway next to the message about VeyFrame.

Permissions

macOS asks for each permission the first time a feature needs it. You can change any of them later in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

PermissionNeeded for
Screen & System Audio RecordingRecording anything, and your Mac's sound. After allowing it, quit and reopen VeyFrame if macOS asks.
CameraYour camera, and recording an iPhone or iPad (device screens appear to macOS as cameras).
MicrophoneRecording your voice.
Speech RecognitionCaptions and transcripts, which are made on your Mac.
Input MonitoringOnly for Show keystrokes, which shows the shortcuts you press.

Camera and microphone are requested only when you start a recording with them on. Choosing a device doesn't turn it on.

Where things are saved

  • Recordings: ~/Movies/VeyFrame, or the folder you choose under Save recordings to in the recorder's settings.
  • Edits: a .motion.json project file next to each recording.
  • Saved styles and settings: ~/Library/Application Support/VeyFrame.
