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

macOS app that frames device screenshots with Apple product bezels - bezelbub/bezelbub-mcp at main · cwooddgr/bezelbub

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Bezelbub : frame screenshots and screen recordings in realistic Apple device bezels — iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac, and Apple TV device mockups — straight from an AI assistant. Supports transparent HEVC-with-alpha video export (with an optional VP9/WebM copy for Chrome/Firefox). The server is a thin stdio adapter over the bezelbub CLI: every tool shells out to the CLI in --json mode, and the CLI's exit codes and suggestion-rich stderr are surfaced as MCP tool errors. macOS only. The Bezelbub engine is a macOS-native binary (Core Graphics / AVFoundation), so this server runs only on a Mac. The npm package declares "os": ["darwin"] and will refuse to…from github.com

    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.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
