Mac App Store version
Frayo is also planned for the Mac App Store. That build runs in the macOS sandbox, which limits what an app may touch. This page lists what differs from the direct download. Everything not listed here works the same.
Updates and license
The store updates the app, so there is no Check for Updates… and no Updates section in Settings. There is no trial and no license screen.
Where files go
- Captures folder: Pictures › Frayo, like the direct download. iCloud Drive isn't offered in the list (the sandbox can't see it); Choose Folder… works for any folder.
- Other folders: Frayo can only write to folders you pick yourself. Use Choose Folder… in Settings › Saving. Frayo remembers the choice after a restart.
- Library location: the same rule. Pick the folder with Choose Folder… in Settings › Library.
- iCloud Drive shortcut: hidden, because the sandbox cannot see that folder. Choose Folder… still works, so pick your iCloud Drive folder by hand. See Cloud sync folders.
If a folder you used in the past stops working after you move to this version, pick it again.
Left out of this version
- Command-line tool and its Settings section. So the Raycast commands that list or search captures do not work. See Raycast.
- Browser address in bug reports. The rest of the context is still added. See Bug reports.
What does not change
Screen Recording permission works the same. Microphone access is allowed for recordings. Capture, recording, the editor, the Library, text and QR scanning all work.
The store build asks for no network access.
