Notchie - A teleprompter that lives in your Macbook's notch
byβ’
Mac teleprompter that sits in your MacBook notch β right below the camera. Read your script while looking directly at the lens.
ποΈ Voice-synced scrolling β text follows your speaking pace. Pause, it waits. Speed up, it keeps pace.
π» Invisible during screen sharing β hidden on Zoom, Meet, Teams. They see slides, you see your script.
Perfect for sales calls, webinars, recordings, interviews.

@adam_mortkaΒ Very useful and well executed. Would love one of those promo codes you mentioned if they're still on offer :)
Seems like a ripoff of Moody Prompter https://moody.mjarosz.com/
@michalkoseckiΒ In fairness, Notchie looks like an improvement of the Moody Prompter, at least that's what the demo video indicates. Haven't downloaded and used either application.
@michalkoseckiΒ An important difference for me is the ability to change the font size.

@sarrahΒ Thanks so much! π The "remember to smile" thing - honestly hadn't thought of that use case, but it's brilliant. Quick cues like "slow down", "breathe", "ask about their background" could be super helpful in high-stakes conversations. MBA interviews and coffee chats are perfect for this - you want to sound natural and prepared, not like you're reading a script. Hope your peers find it useful! Let me know if you end up trying it. Would love to hear how it works for the interview prep use case.
As a frequent teleprompter user, I find this tool incredibly helpfulβit is truly a clever idea.
My only concern is the $29 price point, which feels a bit high. Compared to other customizable Mac apps I use, this is slightly above the typical budget for this type of utility. Reducing the price by $10 would make it much more appealing. Alternatively, offering a 30-day trial or a free version with a word limit would be a great way to let users test it first.
While my perception of the price might be influenced by being outside the US, I still think it looks like an excellent tool.

@megarbiΒ probably make sense, I also managed to get it to app store - where they cut 30% :/ so I have to think about it. There is already trial available to check if it works for you, I am not big fun of limitting the words though.
@adam_mortkaΒ Oh, that's great to know. Thanks for the clarifications!

Nice idea βΒ I usually know these only for video (TikTok, Reels style), but not for video meetings :)
Notchie
@busmark_w_nikaΒ Exactly! Most teleprompters are made for content recording. The meeting use case - especially with screen sharing - was the gap I kept running into. Your notes have nowhere to hide. Works for both though - TikTok scripts or sales calls. Same problem, same solution π

@adam_mortkaΒ Can we customise the size of the font? :D I do not want to use my glasses :D
Notchie
@busmark_w_nikaΒ yes, you can change the font size in settings:

@adam_mortkaΒ Looks cool for me, thank you for showing.

Pretty cool idea

@michael_luddenΒ Thank you! π«‘
Incredible app, and I had a compatibility problem, I sent an email, Adam sorted it in 40minutes. 5 stars βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ

@boukar_sallΒ Wow, thank you β that really made my day. Iβm super glad we managed to sort it out quickly and that everythingβs working well for you now.
Really appreciate the kind words and the support βοΈ
Congratulations on the launch! You should do an outreach campaign to well-known YouTube bloggers β there are definitely many potential clients among them.
Notchie
@mykyta_semenov_Β Thank you! And yes, 100% agree with you β thatβs already in motion. Iβve started reaching out to a few Mac and productivity-focused YouTubers and bloggers, and the early conversations have been really encouraging.
If you happen to have any specific channels or creators in mind that you think would be a good fit, Iβd love the recommendations π
@adam_mortkaΒ Iβm not a very active YouTube user; new startups take up all my time) I think it makes sense to do outreach to everyone with 100k+ subscribers and see the conversion.
I like the concept,. I just installed it however when after I resized the notch window, the Play button doesn't actually scroll the text. Also the voice syncing didn't seem to work well. Looking forward to the updates and bug fix. Will try again after the bug fixes.

@endymion_cheungΒ Hey, thanks for trying it out!
A couple of things that might help:
Text not scrolling: When your cursor hovers over the prompter window, it automatically pauses (so you can scroll manually or select text). Try moving your cursor away from the notch area after clicking Play - it should start scrolling.
Voice sync: Check which microphone is selected in Settings. Sometimes macOS defaults to something unexpected. Try selecting your actual mic (or "MacBook Pro Microphone" if you're on the built-in one) and test again. Let me know if that fixes it - if not, happy to troubleshoot further.
@adam_mortkaΒ thanks text scrolling now when I dont have my mouse in the prompter window as you said.
With the voice sync, I am a bit confused. Does it sync with my voice when I speak when the play is on or off? When the play mode is on, it auto scroll regardless whether I speak.
When the play mode is off, it doesnt scroll when I speak.

@endymion_cheungΒ try adjusting the sensivity threshold in settings. The bar shows live input from the selected mic. You can adjust the threshold to activate scrolling when the level is above it. In quiet spaces you can keep it low, but when it is loud around probably you might need to bump up the threshold a bit. Also it helps to adjust the input volume in system settings
Great idea!! Just tried it but the voice sync is not working. keep scrolling whether I am talking or not. Still fab though!
Notchie
@benoit_chaligne_dipwset_Β did you change the sensivity threshold or if that still doesn't help I figured that often increasing the input volume works well - from other's users feedback.
