My Shortcut for Framing iPhone Screenshots on Backgrounds
Today, I reviewed the screenshot-framing app Framous on MacStories. It’s one of my favorite apps of the year so far, and I already use it a lot (including for this very column!).

Federico already has an excellent shortcut called Apple Frames for adding device frames around screenshots. There is also an API for passing information into the shortcut and feeding the resulting images into another shortcut. With those tools in hand, I went to work constructing a shortcut that not only creates framed iPhone screenshots with backgrounds, but also adds a custom shadow I was previously using in Photoshop.
