A teleprompter in your Mac's notch

Read your script.
Look them in the eye.

NotchPromptr grows your notch into a small black panel that scrolls your script — right under the camera, invisible to screen sharing. From the makers of Teleprompter24.

The problem

Your eyes give it away.

Script in a doc on the left, camera at the top — every glance is a tell. Browser teleprompters float a window over your call, but they live in a tab, show up in your screen share, and vanish when the laptop sleeps. And every notch prompter we tried starts from zero: paste-only, one Mac, no sync.

👀 ↘️ 📄

Down-left, up, down-left, up. Your viewers can't unsee it once they've seen it. The fix isn't practice — it's putting the words where the lens is.

What it does

Everything it does. Nothing it doesn't.

One click on the Pill and the notch grows into your prompter. Esc, and it's a notch again.

👻

Ghost mode

The panel is excluded from screen sharing and recordings by default. Zoom, Meet, Teams, OBS, Loom — your audience never sees your script. Toggle it visible when you want to show it off.

📄

Google Docs stay in sync

Write in Docs, prompt on your Mac. Sign in with the same Google account as Teleprompter24 and your Docs' live text is one Refresh away. Nothing to copy-paste, ever.

☁️

Your scripts follow you

The same library as teleprompter24.com. Write on your Mac tonight, prompt from a browser on any other machine tomorrow. Offline? The last synced copy still presents.

⌨️

Hotkeys that work everywhere

Play, pause, speed up, slow down — global hotkeys that work while Zoom or your camera app has focus. No accessibility permissions required.

🌊

Butter at 0.5×

Sub-pixel scrolling stays smooth at a crawl, and speed 2 here reads exactly like speed 2 on Teleprompter24. Speed, font size, opacity and panel size are remembered per script.

⚡️

Ten seconds to first take

No sign-up required: open, paste, present. A 3 MB native app that lives in the menu bar, starts instantly, and stays out of your Dock.

Fair comparison

"Isn't there a free one?"

There is — we make it. Teleprompter24's web prompter is free and stays free. And the other notch apps are fine at being windows. NotchPromptr is for when the words themselves live somewhere: in Google Docs, in a library, on every machine you use.

Fair questions

Before you ask.

Does it really not show up in Zoom or OBS?

Really. Ghost mode sets the window's sharing type to "none", the same macOS mechanism password fields use — capture software can't see it. You see your script; your audience sees your face. A menu toggle makes it visible when you're recording a tutorial about the app itself.

Do I need a Google account?

No. Without an account it's a paste-and-present prompter — open the editor, paste, hit Present. Signing in (through your browser, we never see your password) adds the cloud library and Google Docs sync.

My Mac has no notch. Useless?

Not at all — the panel hangs from the top edge of the screen instead, centred, same black, same everything. It just doesn't get to pretend it was always there.

Where do my scripts live?

Pasted scripts are stored in your Teleprompter24 library (or only on your Mac if you never sign in). Google Docs are different: we fetch their text live and never store it — the words stay in your Drive. Details in the privacy policy.

How is this different from Teleprompter24's free notch prompter?

Same script library, same speed feel, same makers. The web version runs in a Chromium tab: it shows up in screen shares, needs the tab open, and sleeps with the browser. NotchPromptr is the native version: invisible to shares, always one hotkey away, and it starts with your Mac.

What about updates and refunds?

Updates install themselves (signed, via Sparkle) — you'll always have the latest. And if it's not for you, reply to your purchase email within 14 days and you get your money back.

Take a breath. Hit play.
Talk to the lens.

Your next take is the one where nobody notices you're reading.
