The Framesports desktop app puts Framesports in its own window on your Mac or Windows computer, with Match Coder one menu away. This page explains which version to download, how to install it, and how it stays up to date. To get the app, find your computer in the table below and download its version. Then follow the install steps for your computer: Install on a Mac or Install on Windows.

Download the app

There is one version for Windows and two for Mac. This table shows which file to download for each computer. The links always download the newest version.

Which Mac do I have?

To find out whether your Mac has Apple silicon or an Intel processor, open the Apple menu and choose About This Mac.
  • If you see Chip followed by Apple M1, Apple M2 or a later name, your Mac has Apple silicon.
  • If you see Processor followed by a name that includes Intel, your Mac has an Intel processor.
A Mac bought in 2021 or later almost always has Apple silicon. If you download the wrong version:
  • On a Mac with an Intel processor, the Apple silicon version doesn’t open. macOS says it isn’t supported on this Mac. Download the Intel version instead.
  • On a Mac with Apple silicon, the Intel version asks to install Rosetta, and then runs more slowly. Download the Apple silicon version instead.

Install on a Mac

The Mac download is a disk image that contains the app. To install it:
  1. Open the downloaded file, Framesports.dmg, from your Downloads folder. A window opens with Framesports and your Applications folder.
  2. Drag Framesports onto Applications.
  3. Open Framesports from Applications or Launchpad.
After that you can eject the disk image and delete the downloaded file. The first time you open it, macOS asks whether you want to open an app downloaded from the internet. Press Open. macOS only asks once. To keep the app in your Dock, right-click its icon in the Dock while it is open and choose Options › Keep in Dock.

Install on Windows

The Windows download is an installer, Framesports-Setup.exe. To install the app:
  1. Open Framesports-Setup.exe from your Downloads folder.
  2. Wait a few seconds. The app installs and opens by itself. You don’t need to choose a folder or restart your computer.
  3. Next time, open Framesports from the Start menu or the shortcut on your desktop.
If Windows shows Windows protected your PC when you open the installer, press More info, then Run anyway. Windows shows this message for an app it doesn’t know yet. It only shows it when you install the app, not each time you open it.

Sign in

The app opens on Framesports, the same website you use in your browser. Sign in with the same email and password, or the same sign-in button, as on the website. Your sessions, clips, players and presentations are all there. To move between Framesports and Match Coder, use the Go menu at the top of the screen and choose Framesports or Match Coder. The app always opens on Framesports.

Keep the app up to date

The app keeps itself up to date. When a new version is out, the app downloads it in the background and installs it the next time you open the app. Nothing interrupts you while you work. To check for a new version straight away, choose Framesports › Check for updates… on a Mac, or Help › Check for updates… on Windows.
