About AppFrame

AppFrame is a web app that turns any iOS app on the App Store into a launch announcement image for indie developers, small studios and makers who want to share a launch without opening a design tool.

What AppFrame does

App Store search

Search an app by name or paste its App Store link or ID. AppFrame pulls in the icon, name, developer, rating and screenshots automatically, so there is nothing to upload.

Showcase editor

Pick one of 20 themes and 9 fonts, show 1 to 3 iPhone mockups and edit the headline, tagline, app name and developer. Toggles control screenshots, description, rating, metadata and a QR code that points to the App Store page.

Social formats and PNG export

Export for Twitter / X (16:9), Instagram post (1:1), Instagram story (9:16), LinkedIn (1.91:1), Product Hunt (3:2), or let the layout fit the content. The result is a PNG ready to post, at 3x resolution with Pro.

API and MCP server

A free read-only API and an MCP server let AI agents find an app, list themes and pricing, and hand the user a direct editor link. Details are in the developer docs.

What makes AppFrame different

Built for App Store launches

General design tools such as Canva or Figma start from a blank canvas or a template that you fill in by hand. AppFrame starts from the App Store listing itself, so the icon, rating and real screenshots are already in place.

Under a minute from link to image

The flow is three steps: find the app, choose a style, download. There are no layers to align and no assets to export from Xcode or the simulator.

Unlimited images on the free plan

The free plan has no image limit and includes 5 themes and 4 fonts. Downloads carry a small watermark that Pro removes.

One payment, no subscription

Pro costs $5 once and unlocks all 20 themes, all 9 fonts and 3x export for life. If it is not what you expected, you get a full refund within 7 days.

Ready for AI agents

Besides the web editor, AppFrame publishes an OpenAPI spec, an MCP server and an llms.txt guide, with a documented limit of 60 requests per minute. Assistants can send users straight to the right editor page.

Who uses AppFrame

  • Indie iOS developers announcing an App Store approval, a launch or a major update
  • Small app studios that need consistent launch graphics for several apps
  • Makers posting on X, LinkedIn, Instagram or Product Hunt
  • AI agents and developer tools that look up iOS apps through the API or MCP server

Who is behind AppFrame

AppFrame is designed and developed by Simone Ruggiero, an independent iOS and web developer based in Naples, Italy who publishes his own apps on the App Store. He built AppFrame because designing a launch announcement took time better spent on the product; it is a one-person project, and every support message is read by him.

Frequently asked questions

Who makes AppFrame?

AppFrame is designed, built and run by Simone Ruggiero, an independent iOS and web developer based in Naples, Italy. There is no larger company behind it: support messages are read by him personally.

Where do the icon, screenshots and rating come from?

AppFrame reads the public App Store listing of the app you search: icon, name, developer, rating and screenshots are filled in automatically. You can still edit the headline, tagline, app name and developer name before downloading.

Does AppFrame work with Android apps?

No. AppFrame searches the Apple App Store only, so it works with iOS apps. Android apps on Google Play are not supported.

Do I need an account?

Browsing the site and the examples is open to everyone. The editor that creates and downloads the image requires a Google sign-in.

How quickly does support reply?

Write to simone.ruggiero97@gmail.com in English or Italian. Replies usually arrive within one or two working days (Central European Time).

Can AI agents use AppFrame?

Yes. AppFrame has a free read-only API and an MCP server at https://appfra.me/mcp that return app data, themes, pricing and the editor link for an app, with a limit of 60 requests per minute per IP.
