An MCP server that frames screen recordings and shots in Apple bezels
Creating device-framed screenshots and screen recordings for my iOS, macOS, and tvOS apps is a pain so I looked for a tool, preferably with an MCP server that could do it for me. I couldn't find anything that did everything I wanted (images and videos, scaling, transparent backgrounds for both, etc) so I made one: Bezelbub. I started with a macOS app. Handy when putting together App Store listings, which was my first use case. Then I added support for video in/out. But I realized I wanted framed screenshots in more places than that (like social posts) so I made an iOS app that would…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Creating device-framed screenshots and screen recordings for my iOS, macOS, and tvOS apps is a pain so I looked for a tool, preferably with an MCP server that could do it for me. I couldn't find anything that did everything I wanted (images and videos, scaling, transparent backgrounds for both, etc) so I made one: Bezelbub. I started with a macOS app. Handy when putting together App Store listings, which was my first use case. Then I added support for video in/out. But I realized I wanted framed screenshots in more places than that (like social posts) so I made an iOS app that would allow me to just snap a screenshot on-device, share it to Bezelbub, choose my options, and share it directly from there. Neat. But I still found myself doing a lot of the work, which in the age of Claude Code is goofy. So I created a command-line version and a Homebrew tap. Works a treat. I intentionally made it agent-first (no interactivity, complete docs in --help, JSON output, meaningful error codes, suggestions, etc). Along the way I added support for videos with transparent backgrounds, which is more of a pain than you might think. (It exports HEVC mov files and needs to convert that to WebM, but older ffmpeg builds don't handle transprencyin that conversion correctly, so it uses ProRes 4444 as a master.) The final step was to create an MCP wrapper so LLMs don't have to re-learn how to use the thing every time. It's all freely available with no ads, all local processing so nothing leaves your device, etc. Just a labor of love that I think other people might find useful. The CLI and MCP server are macOS-only. Bezelbub product page: https://dgrlabs.co/bezelbub MCP server: https://github.com/cwooddgr/bezelbub/tree/main/bezelbub-mcp

I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…
