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.

Oh this is neat. I always go off-script on Looms and then lose my spot. The bit that listens to what I actually say is the hook. Local + tiny is nice. Trying it for my next demo. Keen to see if the run-long warning saves me from 15-min rambles.

@alexcloudstar thank you so much, Alex! One of the reasons I built it was for that exact problem. You’re almost done your take and you stumble. Tellie is like a companion that helps you hit your marks because you relax knowing it is checking your points and the clock for you.
