cuemacOS teleprompter
Write it once.
Read it straight to camera.
Scripts live in a notes-style window. Open any one as a floating overlay that stays above every other app, follows your voice as you speak, and keeps you on the clock.
First launch: cue isn’t notarized yet, so macOS blocks it the first time. Double-click cue and dismiss the warning, then open System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Once only.
Always on top
The overlay floats above every other app, including your camera or meeting window, and can be dialled down to a see-through pane.
Follows your voice
Voice mode scrolls as you speak and waits when you stop. Recognition runs on your Mac — the audio never leaves it.
Stage clock
Countdown, wrap-up colours and overtime, so you know how long you have without glancing away from the lens.
An overlay built to stay out of the way
A glass island you can park beside the lens. It can hide itself from screenshots and many screen shares, so the people on the call see you — not your script.
- Voice or timer scrolling, switchable mid-take
- Wrap-up cues: slow down, speed up, Q&A, hold
- Space to start, Esc to close, ⌘⇧P from anywhere
Plain text, lightly marked up
Scripts are plain text. Wrap a phrase in **bold** to stress it,
==highlight== to make it jump out on the overlay, and drop
[pause] where you want the prompter to wait for you. Split a long script
with # Headings, leave yourself a reminder in
(( double parens )), and mark where you mean to be by a given moment with
{2:30} — none of those three are ever read aloud or counted against the
clock. Everything is stored on your Mac as JSON: no account, no sync, nothing to sign
in to.
