Keep your Fastlane Snapshot & Deliver pipeline
Capture raw UI screens with XCUITest/Snapshot, push them to AppScreenDesign via REST or MCP, and feed the exported ZIP straight into Fastlane Deliver.
Comparison
A Fastlane Frameit alternative
with 3D scenes & REST/MCP.
Fastlane Frameit pioneered automated framing years ago, but teams often hit outdated bezels, brittle Framefile.json text wrapping, and flat 2D output. AppScreenDesign pairs CI-ready REST + MCP APIs with a live 3D visual editor.
Quick takeaway · vs Fastlane FrameitKeymaker Engineering
- Device bezels & 3D hardware
iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, iPad Pro M5, Watch S11, Mac M5 + 3D - Layout capabilities
3D scenes, handheld frames, exploded UI crops, connected panoramas - Typography & RTL/CJK
Rich word-level styling, CJK/RTL line breaking + visual canvas tweaks

Side-by-side comparison
AppScreenDesign vs Fastlane Frameit
| Capability | AppScreenDesign | Fastlane Frameit |
|---|---|---|
| Device bezels & 3D hardware | iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, iPad Pro M5, Watch S11, Mac M5 + 3D | Legacy flat bezels requiring manual community PNG maintenance |
| Layout capabilities | 3D scenes, handheld frames, exploded UI crops, connected panoramas | Single centered 2D frame + top/bottom keyword/title text |
| Typography & RTL/CJK | Rich word-level styling, CJK/RTL line breaking + visual canvas tweaks | ImageMagick text boxes prone to clipping on German/Arabic |
| Automation surface | Scoped REST API + Remote OAuth MCP + deterministic ZIP manifest | Ruby CLI + local ImageMagick dependency |
| Visual finishing pass | Full browser studio on the exact same project | Edit JSON offsets and re-run CLI blindly |

Practical walkthrough
Pair CI snapshots with 3D studio polish.
Keep automated UI capture in Xcode/Fastlane while upgrading framing and typography to AppScreenDesign.
Capture clean raw screens in CI
Run XCUITest or Fastlane Snapshot to output unframed simulator PNGs per locale.
Upload & bind via REST API or MCP
Push updated captures to stable asset slots and trigger server renders programmatically.
Visually QA long locales in browser
Open the project in Studio to tweak any overflowing German or Arabic headline before running Fastlane Deliver.
Fix German & Arabic clipping visually
Automate 95% of your 50-locale build via API, then open the project URL in your browser to nudge any long translated headline in two seconds.
Zero local ImageMagick breakage
Server-side WebGL + high-DPI rasterization runs identically regardless of developer macOS or CI runner versions.
Why engineering teams outgrow Frameit
Frameit excels at basic QA framing, but App Store conversion today competes against angled 3D hero scenes, multi-device compositions and connected panoramas that ImageMagick scripts cannot express.
Structured JSON without blind guesswork
Every AppScreenDesign panel is a validated SceneDoc JSON object with optimistic concurrency revisions—giving engineers clean automation and designers full visual control.
Questions
Before you start.
Can I start on the Free plan without a credit card?
Yes. Free ($0 forever) includes the full 3D browser studio, ready-made template library, Remote MCP access to test AI agents, and unlimited draft projects with watermarked preview exports.
Are AI-generated layouts flattened into static images?
Never. Every scene stays an editable multi-layer SceneDoc with live text, 3D hardware poses, backgrounds, vector badges and per-locale overrides.
Does AppScreenDesign charge markup on AI tokens?
No ($0 AI markup). Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex via https://appscreendesign.com/mcp using the AI subscription you already have.
