# 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](https://www.cockos.com/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.
