Install and use on personal computers

Consistent with 8791 Software's motto, ƒramelette Studio can be installed and used on Microsoft Windows and Apple macOS based desktop, laptop and hybrid tablet PCs (equipped with larger screens, keyboards, and touchpads and/or mice that all users' eyes and fingers will appreciate).


Share via email, external storage - and more

Authored ƒramelettes™ are saved to and opened from each user's PC, versus being uploaded to and accessed from web sites on cloud servers prone to data breaches and other hacking or misuse at any time.

However, ƒramelette Studio allows users to package ƒramelettes™ into a single password-protected file for attaching to emails or copying to external storage (such as standard USB flash or thumb drives), for more secure and personalized sharing with other users. Packaged ƒramelettes™ can then be easily unpackaged within ƒramelette Studio by recipient friends, colleagues and family to load and utilize; to optionally clone and/or enhance as desired, in a collaborative and iterative manner if desired.

Further, ƒramelette Studio includes popular features for capturing screenshot and recorded snippet files, which users can opt to additionally or alternatively share with anyone - also via emails, by sending in private mobile texts, or posting on social media platforms - for showcasing selected content of authored ƒramelettes™; in this case, even on smartphone and dedicated tablet devices*.


NOTE: The ƒramelette Studio product roadmap may be expanded in the near future to develop iOS and Android based mobile apps which can load ƒramelettes™ shared by users via email.
