The best teleprompter apps for Mac in 2026

Koi is a Mac app that lives in the notch, and Koi 2.0 adds a teleprompter to the notch's Tools. Paste or type a script (the last one is kept), pick how it's paced, and press Start. The notch grows down into a black panel right under the camera, and the script rolls up through it, the line you're on brightest. On a Mac without a notch, Koi draws a small one of its own at the top of the screen.

It follows your voice: Koi hears you on the Mac with its own speech model and keeps your line at the reading spot, waiting when you stop to think. Nothing heard is kept, and neither your voice nor the script is sent anywhere. Or set a steady speed from 60 to 260 words a minute. Space pauses, the arrows or your trackpad go back and on, + and − change the speed or the text size, Esc ends it, and a mirror switch flips the text for a teleprompter glass. While it's on, the notch is hidden from screen capture, so apps like Zoom, Meet and Teams leave it out of what they share or record.

Where it loses: it isn't sold on its own. It comes with Koi, at $20 a month or $7 for a first week, or Lifetime, paid once, with no free plan and no free trial. It's Mac only, with no phone remote. Worth it if you'd also use Koi's dictation, call recording and the rest.

Notchie is a Mac teleprompter that shows your script in the notch area near the camera, and its listing says it works on Macs without a notch too. It scrolls when you speak and pauses when you pause. It says it's hidden from screen sharing in supported apps.

It's $29.99 once on the Mac App Store, with no in-app purchases and no free version. It needs macOS 14.6 or later.

CueNotch reads in the notch, or floats under the camera on a Mac without one. It follows your voice, and its Ghost Mode hides it from screen sharing and recording.

The free version gives you three starts a day and scripts up to 100 words, enough to see if you like it. Pro is $29.99 for life or $7.99 a week, with a 3-day trial. It needs macOS 14 or later.

Moody shows your script in the notch or in a floating window you can resize, follows your voice, and says it's invisible in screen sharing and screenshots. It also records your screen with your camera, so you can film a demo and read from the same app.

It's sold through Payhip, at $39 once on the day we checked, marked as on sale, so the price moves. It needs macOS 15 or later.

Textream is free and open source, under the MIT license. It pins your script to the notch, floats it in a window, or fills the screen. Its Word Tracking follows your voice through macOS's speech recognition, and its own README notes that Apple may process that audio.

It has iPhone and iPad apps and a browser remote too, a rare extra for a free app. It needs macOS 15 or later.

Speakflow is a teleprompter in the browser, with a desktop app too. Its Flow mode follows your voice, and its Overlay floats over Zoom, Meet and Teams.

There's a free plan with limited Flow. Plus is $15 a month and Studio $99 a month, both billed yearly. Its pages don't say it hides from screen sharing, so share one window rather than your whole screen.

Teleprompter Pro+, from Teleprompter Apps Ltd, is a Mac app with a floating, see-through window you can put anywhere. It's free to download, with in-app purchases from $3.99 up to a $159.99 upgrade. It needs macOS 12 or later.

Its listing doesn't mention following your voice or hiding from screen sharing, so it suits recording on your own more than reading on a live call.

If you're presenting slides, Keynote already does the job. Choose Play, then In Window, and Keynote opens your slides and the presenter display, with your notes, as two windows. Share only the slides window, and read your notes from the other.

It's free and built for slides. It doesn't scroll a script, follow your voice, or sit under the camera.
