    First public test release of Frame Control, a Mac app for managing a Valve Steam Frame over SSH. Unofficial; not affiliated with Valve.

    Needs: a Steam Frame with Developer Mode on, an Apple Silicon Mac, and python3 (xcode-select --install). adb is optional, for Android apps.

    Install:

    1. Download the DMG below and drag Frame Control to Applications.
    2. The app isn't notarized, so clear the download quarantine once:
      xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Frame Control.app"
      
    3. Open it and accept the connection setup. It asks for your Developer Mode password once.

    Setup details and a list of what's verified and what isn't are in the README.

    What it does: live headset view (H.264 at about 30 fps) and screenshots; battery, storage and status; your Steam library, with installs onto the headset and Frame ratings; F-Droid apps as their own Lepton instances; file drop and clipboard; Flatpaks; volume.

    New since 0.1.1:

    • Live H.264 video of the headset view.
    • Android compatibility reports are saved on your Mac. The shared database is maintainer-only for now.
    • A clean error when the headset is unreachable.
    • MIT license.

    Please report problems as issues. Include your SteamOS build and the log from Frame → Show Server Log.

    Security: Developer Mode exposes SSH, ADB and RDP on your LAN. Use trusted networks only, and see the README's security notes.
