    Frame Control 0.4.0: updates itself, several headsets, and your Mac in the headset Stable

    DieMitchell released this 2026-10-04 07:34:33 +02:00 | 16 commits to main since this release

    Frame Control now updates itself, and does much more with the headset. 0.4.0 checks for new versions and installs them with one click. It also streams your Mac's windows into the Frame, runs Quest VR apps, lets you type and point from your phone or computer, and manages more than one headset. This is the last version you have to download by hand.

    Download
    Windows 10/11 (x64) Frame-Control-Setup-x64.exe, or the portable Frame-Control-win-x64.zip
    macOS (Apple Silicon) Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg
    Linux x64 Frame-Control-linux-x86_64.AppImage, or Frame-Control-linux-amd64.deb
    Linux arm64 Frame-Control-linux-arm64.AppImage, or Frame-Control-linux-arm64.deb

    Unsigned builds:

    • macOS: run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Frame Control.app" once.
    • Windows: SmartScreen may warn. Choose More info → Run anyway.

    New in 0.4.0

    • Updates itself. It checks GitHub for a newer release, verifies the download and installs it (macOS app bundle, Windows installer, Linux AppImage).
    • Several headsets, each with several addresses (home Wi-Fi, .local, Tailscale). A new Devices tab, and a status pill that shows the network, the address and each step of connecting as it happens.
    • Mac in the headset: each Mac window or screen as its own panel in the Frame, with laser pointing and the Mac's keyboard. Quality adapts to your Wi-Fi.
    • Type and point in the Frame from your phone or computer. Frame Control brings its own KDE Connect for the Frame, so there's nothing else to install.
    • Run Quest and other VR Android apps. Frame Control detects them, fixes their launcher and adds an OpenXR 1.1 compatibility layer. Open Brush runs; Wolvic starts, then its own browser engine crashes. Apps that check for a Quest store licence won't run.
    • When an Android app is too new for the Frame, it offers older versions that install.
    • One search across F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid and more, with proper Steam library artwork.
    • iPhone and iPad app: the same controls from your phone, served from the Frame. Not on the App Store yet; build it from the repo with Xcode (how).
    • Family and comfort: session limits, break reminders, battery and heat alerts, and casting the headset view.
    • A panel switcher, a VR performance overlay, and a media player with a theatre mode for 3D video and stills.
    • Assistant tools (MCP) with a human approval for every change.
    • Tabs, a single offline message, installs that carry on in the background, and drop files anywhere.
    • Report a problem from inside the app. Anonymous usage statistics are on after a first-run notice and can be turned off; error details and compatibility results are opt-in (what is sent).

    Fixed

    • Mirroring your Mac fits the whole desktop in the panel, asks for the right password, and shows the cursor (thanks @fbl100).

    Not in this release: PC in the headset for Windows and Linux (not yet tested on real desktops) and eye tracking / heart rate (still in progress).
