Perfect for sales calls, webinars, recordings, interviews.

@adam_mortka Very useful and well executed. Would love one of those promo codes you mentioned if they're still on offer :)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (honest review, not an ad!)
I purchased Notchie directly online and downloaded it onto my MacBook a few weeks ago, and it has genuinely been one of the most useful tools I've found this year.
The concept is simple, but the impact is huge. I can paste my notes or script into the app, display them on screen, and maintain natural eye contact during interviews, presentations and online meetings without constantly looking away.
One of my long-term worries has always been sounding scripted or losing engagement while referring to notes, and Notchie has solved that problem surprisingly well. Most people cannot even tell I'm reading from a script.
The app is very easy to use and gets out of the way so you can focus on speaking. I personally prefer manually scrolling through my notes rather than using the voice tracking feature, as it gives me more control over the pace and flow of the conversation.
A couple of suggestions for future improvements:
• Sometimes script edits do not seem to update reliably, so I occasionally make changes in a separate document before pasting them back into Notchie.
• A web-based or Windows version would be fantastic.
• It would also be helpful to support multiple linked notes that can be switched between with buttons or shortcuts, rather than keeping everything in one long note.
Overall, this is a clever, thoughtfully designed product that solves a real problem. I would happily recommend it to friends and colleagues, especially anyone who wants to appear more natural and confident when speaking while still having notes available when needed.

@sarrah Thanks so much! 🙏 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.
I was wondering how this differs from NotchPrompter, a free open source version. The answer is that with Notchie, the teleprompter doesn't show up in Loom; with NotchPrompter, the teleprompter does show up in Loom, making it pretty much unusable.
Here's a screenshot of a Loom recording with NotchPrompter:
And here's a screenshot of a Loom recording with Notchie:
Another difference is that Notchie is a signed up, so there's no scary security warning as you get with NotchPrompter.

@samtheanalyst Right now I’m intentionally leading with “teleprompter” because it’s the most familiar mental model for people landing on the page, but I agree with you that the real value is much broader: confidence, eye contact, fewer retakes, and just generally performing better in high-stakes moments.
From the early feedback and messages so far, the strongest resonance seems to be with people doing calls, demos, interviews, and online presentations rather than classic “creator” use cases. A lot of folks mention exactly what you described: feeling more natural on camera and not having to re-record everything over and over.
The positioning is definitely something I’m actively iterating on based on this kind of input — so this is super helpful, thank you.
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_cheung 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_mortka 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_cheung 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

Nice idea – I usually know these only for video (TikTok, Reels style), but not for video meetings :)
Notchie
@busmark_w_nika 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 🙂

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

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