An Android tool that turns an angled phone view of a TV or monitor into a perspective-corrected feed for recording or Twitch streaming.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

FrameTrap uses the phone camera to identify the edges of a physical display, then rectifies that image as the basis for a stream composition. The page lists three available layer types—corrected screen, selfie, and raw camera—with image overlays also supported. It presents local saving and H.264/AAC encoding alongside a 1920 × 1080 target. Twitch RTMP is described as being in private testing, while account controls, viewer count, and chat are listed as a later milestone.
