Install the Studio app - HyperFrames
Skip to main content
The HyperFrames Studio app for Mac and Linux is the easiest way to make a video with HyperFrames. You describe the video, an agent on your computer builds it, and you change it by typing, pointing at the picture, drawing, or commenting. You do not need to write code. Framey, the small green guide, points you to the next step along the way.
  • Free. You sign in with a free HeyGen account. HeyGen media (avatars, generated clips, HeyGen voices) uses HeyGen credits only when you ask for it, and your own agent bills its own plan, or nothing with OpenCode.
  • Mac: Apple Silicon or Intel. Linux: 64-bit Intel and AMD, as a .deb or an AppImage.
  • Windows: coming soon. Until then, make videos with your AI agent or in Claude.ai or ChatGPT.

Download and install

1

Download

Go to hyperframes.dev/studio and choose Download for macOS (in Safari or Firefox the button is Apple Silicon, with an Intel link next to it).
2

Install

Open the downloaded disk image and double-click Install HyperFrames. The installer copies the app into Applications and shows Checking it is really from HeyGen, which can take a minute or two. When it says HyperFrames is in Applications, choose Open HyperFrames.
If your Mac’s Applications folder is locked for your account, the installer puts the app in the Applications folder inside your home folder instead. If it says The download looks damaged, choose Download again. If it says the check took too long, nothing was installed: choose Try again.

​
First launch

  1. A short survey asks what you want to make and which agent you use. Every answer is optional, and Skip all counts as an answer. What you pick decides where Build your video opens. The agent you name starts your first chat if it is already set up.
  2. Home opens with the Create your first video card. See Make your first video.
A notice also explains what usage data the app records. Choose Got it to dismiss it.

​
Sign in with HeyGen

On first launch, the app asks you to sign in the first time you click something after the survey.
  1. Choose Continue with HeyGen. Your browser opens hyperframes.dev.
  2. Sign in there within 10 minutes. The browser sends you back to the app, which shows You’re in! and carries on with what you clicked.
If the sign-in runs out of time, choose Continue with HeyGen again. If you choose Not now, the app asks again on your next click. You can sign in or out at any time from Settings > Account.

​
Updates

The app updates itself. When a new version is ready, a round button appears in the bottom-right corner; click it and the app restarts as soon as nothing is running, reopening the project you had open. To check by hand, use Settings > Updates > Check for updates. If an update stalls, click the button again and choose Try again, or Download it instead.

​
Where your work is kept

  • Projects: the hidden .hyperframes-studio folder in your home folder, or the folder you imported them from. Each one is a normal HyperFrames project, so it also opens in the browser editor and the command line.
  • Exported videos: your Downloads folder.
  • Settings and sign-in: ~/Library/Application Support/HyperFrames on a Mac, ~/.config/HyperFrames on Linux.
