macOS will ask before opening it
ShareFrame is signed, but not notarised — notarisation requires a paid Apple Developer membership, and this app is free. So the first time you open it, macOS says it can't check it for malicious software.
You only have to do this once:
- Move ShareFrame to your Applications folder and open it.
- When macOS refuses, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security.
- Scroll down to the message about ShareFrame and click Open Anyway.
- Confirm with Open.
On macOS 15 and later, right-clicking and choosing Open no longer works for this — Apple removed that shortcut, so the Privacy & Security route above is the only way.
The app is signed with a certificate tied to a real Apple developer account, so macOS can confirm it has not been altered since it was built — that is what the checksum above corroborates. What it has not had is Apple's separate notarisation scan.
Grant Screen Recording
ShareFrame mirrors part of your screen, so macOS requires Screen Recording permission. It will prompt you on first launch and can take you straight to the setting.
Quit and reopen ShareFrame afterwards. macOS only applies a new permission to a fresh launch, so the app stays blank until you restart it. This catches almost everyone once.
Nothing leaves your Mac. The screen is captured locally, drawn locally, and the app makes no network connections — see the privacy policy.
