Hi! I'm Steve. Even though I spent 30 years in tech (Apple in the Jobs era, then Cisco and Salesforce among a bunch of startups) I never wrote production code. Last spring I built a Mac teleprompter in 3 days by pair-programming with AI, named it after my granddaughter, and it quietly found 500+ users, paying customers, and some working actors before I ever marketed it. It's evolved into something I'm strangely proud of, and now want to share it with everyone.
But here's my fear: there are at least seven Mac notch teleprompters now. Mine has a real differentiator (it tracks the actual words you say, not just scroll-on-sound and a free developer surface), but I know how "oh boy, another one of those" reads in a feed.
Tellie, the Mac teleprompter that follows your voice, word by word. Not just scrolling when it hears voice. It tracks what you're saying and highlights where you are. Skip ahead, ad-lib, go back. Tellie knows.
Lives in the MacBook notch (or anywhere). Invisible to Zoom. 50 languages, all on-device.
NEW: Presenter Mode auto-displays notes and advances slides when you finish your last word.
Free tier is a real teleprompter. Pro: $18 with code PRODUCTHUNT ($29 after). One-time, no subscription.
