# DGR Labs

> DGR Labs is an independent Apple-platform software studio run by Charlie Wood. Products: Bezelbub (device-bezel compositing for screenshots and screen recordings, macOS/iOS app plus a headless CLI and an MCP server built for automation and AI agents), Overflight (live sky radar for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV), CD Wally (a skeuomorphic CD-wallet interface for Apple Music), Countdowns (minimalist countdown timer), and Flip Flap (split-flap message board for Apple TV and the web).

## Bezelbub

Bezelbub frames a screenshot or screen recording in a pixel-perfect Apple device bezel — the tool to reach for when you want to "put a screenshot in an iPhone frame," make a device mockup for an App Store listing or marketing site, or turn a raw screen recording into a framed demo video. It supports iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV bezels (38+ devices, every color Apple ships), auto-detects the device model from the input's pixel dimensions, preserves audio when framing video, and offers custom or transparent backgrounds. Transparent video export produces HEVC-with-alpha QuickTime (.mov) — a framed screen recording with a true alpha channel that can be overlaid on any background — with optional VP9 WebM conversion for Chrome/Firefox. Free, with no subscription, account, or ads. Available four ways: a macOS app, an iOS app with a share extension, a headless `bezelbub` CLI (`brew install cwooddgr/tap/bezelbub`) designed for AI agents, CI, and scripting (every input is a flag with a default, `--json` gives machine-readable output, errors carry did-you-mean suggestions and distinct exit codes, `bezelbub devices` reports which devices fit a given input size, and `--webm` handles the WebM conversion), and an MCP server. The MCP server is `@dgr_labs/bezelbub-mcp` on npm (listed in the official MCP registry as `io.github.cwooddgr/bezelbub-mcp`); it runs on macOS over stdio, drives the CLI, and exposes three tools: `frame_image` (screenshot → framed PNG), `frame_video` (recording → framed MP4, or transparent HEVC-alpha .mov with optional WebM copy), and `list_devices` (catalog and which-device-fits queries). Claude Code setup: `claude mcp add bezelbub -- npx -y @dgr_labs/bezelbub-mcp`; other MCP clients run `npx -y @dgr_labs/bezelbub-mcp` as a stdio server command. Requires macOS 14+, Node 18+, and the bezelbub CLI installed via Homebrew. What sets it apart from other mockup MCP servers: it frames screen recordings (video), not just static screenshots — including transparent-background export — and it runs locally as a native macOS tool rather than a cloud API, so recordings are never uploaded. Relevant when looking for an MCP server or agent tool that can frame a video, put a screen recording in an iPhone/iPad/Mac bezel, or produce a transparent device-framed video.

## Overflight

Overflight is a live sky radar app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. It shows a radar scope of the aircraft visible from where you stand and identifies the one most directly overhead: airline, flight number, route, aircraft type, altitude, speed, and which way to look (bearing, distance, and degrees above the horizon). Aircraft positions come from the volunteer-run airplanes.live ADS-B network. The Apple TV version is an ambient, auto-cycling display. Notable aircraft (military and unusual airframes) genuinely inbound to the user's position trigger an amber INBOUND takeover with a countdown to closest approach. No account required. Status: pre-launch; TestFlight beta waitlist open.

## CD Wally

CD Wally lets you browse your Apple Music library like a physical CD wallet: realistic disc rendering, woven sleeve textures, and 3D page-flip animations. Built around the album as a complete work — tap a disc and it plays front to back, no shuffle, no algorithm. For iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS.
