A lightweight teleprompter app for Mac that keeps scripts readable during calls, livestreams, recordings, and long-form video sessions. Open the floating window and your script keeps scrolling on top of Zoom, Teams, OBS or your slides, right under the webcam.
Camera mode lets you record on Mac while your script stays visible over the video preview, so desk videos, online courses, interviews, and updates feel smoother.
Keep the script near your camera, control the scrolling speed, and record with fewer retakes because your talking points stay on screen.
Prompter mode gives you a clean scrolling script reader for Zoom calls, livestreams, webinars, podcast notes, and rehearsals when you do not need the camera view.
Use your Mac as a local-first teleprompter for long scripts and talking points, imported straight from Word, PowerPoint, PDF, or Markdown files, with pause and manual script movement when you need to slow down.
Adjust text size, text color, scrolling speed, text area size, and text area position so the Mac teleprompter fits your desk, camera, monitor, and reading habits. In Camera mode, drag the text area under the webcam, pull its corner to resize it, and change size, color, background, or position even in the middle of a take.
Use a narrow script area near your webcam for better eye contact, or expand the reading area for longer scripts, presentations, and production notes.
Use Prompter mode for script-only reading, Camera mode for desk recording with a live script overlay, or Voice mode to capture audio only.
The floating window keeps your script scrolling above Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or OBS. Park it under the webcam; it stays in front, even over full-screen apps, while you keep clicking in the call.
Stretch typography across the display for polished talking heads, course modules, and longer takes with legible type at arm length.
Pair the layout with a side monitor or dedicated teleprompter hardware when the production calls for a bigger read surface.
A Mac teleprompter should support longer desktop sessions without covering the tools you need to present or record.
Keep scripts or talking points in a small floating window near your camera during calls, webinars, interviews, and livestreams, with play, pause and next-section buttons on the window itself. From Camera or Voice mode you can start and stop a recording from it too.
Adjust text size, text color, scrolling speed, text area size, and text area position for arm-length reading on a laptop, monitor, or second display.
Keep scripts available on your Mac so live sessions and desk recordings do not depend on a browser prompt.
Everything you need to sound confident on camera, without memorizing every line.
Pick your iPhone in Camera mode and record over Continuity Camera at up to 1080p and 60 fps while the script stays on your Mac screen. See how to set it up.
Rehearsals and recordings stay on your Mac with a lightweight build that opens fast when you need it.
Keep lines in view during interviews, candidate conversations, streams, and webinars without opening the camera.
Bring in a Word, PowerPoint, PDF, RTF, HTML, Markdown, TXT, or SRT/VTT file from the script editor or a project. PowerPoint decks arrive slide by slide with their speaker notes.
Use Camera mode when you want the camera feed and teleprompter controls in one workspace, with the built-in camera, a USB webcam, or your iPhone.
Record audio without video while the script scrolls — for podcast episodes, voiceovers, and singing along to your own lyrics.
Reverse the text for a beam-splitter rig, or flip it for an upside-down mount — on the Mac screen or an external display.
Adjust text size, text color, scrolling speed, text area size, and text area position for desk or second display setups.
In Prompter mode, Camera mode, and Voice mode, pause scrolling or manually move the script up or down.
Pause on any line, return to an earlier sentence, or skip ahead while you steer the pace by hand.

"Native Mac apps that actually feel like Mac apps are rare. This one respects the platform — it's fast to launch, and window management works as expected."

iOS & macOS App Reviewer
"For longer-form client content I use my MacBook with an external camera. Having the prompter in a window I can size and position however I want, while recording in another app, is exactly the flexibility I need on a real production day."
Natalie Brooks
Video Producer
"I script every course lesson in full and recording on Mac lets me keep my notes, browser, and prompter all visible at once. The scroll speed control is granular enough to match my natural teaching pace, which runs faster than most defaults."

Teleprompter-Scrolling Scripts covers the three things a Mac teleprompter needs: Camera mode to record while reading, a floating window that keeps the script on top of Zoom or other apps, and Voice mode for audio. Text size, colors, speed, and the size and position of the text area are all adjustable, and it's free to download with no account.
Yes. Open the floating window and your script keeps scrolling in a small window on top of Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS or recording software. Drag it right under the webcam; it stays in front without taking focus, so you can mute, share your screen or chat while you read.
Yes. The floating window stays above every other app, including full-screen apps and other desktops. You can move and resize it, play, pause or skip to the next section from the window, and go back to the full app with one click.
Yes. Prompter mode shows scrolling text without opening the camera, so you can use Mac as a clean script display.
Yes. Camera mode on Mac can record through your iPhone with Apple's Continuity Camera, at up to 1080p and 60 fps. Mount the iPhone near the top of the display, pick it from the camera menu, and read the script on the Mac screen.
Yes. The script workflow is local-first, so you can rehearse and record without relying on a browser-based teleprompter.
Text area position and size, text color, line spacing, and scroll speed matter most for comfortable desktop reading.
Yes. Voice mode on Mac records audio without opening the camera, while the script scrolls in the same window. It fits podcast episodes recorded at a desk, voiceover and narration passes, and any take where the video would be discarded. Camera mode remains the option when you want the recorded video as well.
