The Mac Teleprompter that Understands

The teleprompter that knows what you’re saying.

Most teleprompters just scroll. Tellie listens, checks off key points as you hit them (even when you ad-lib), and alerts you before time runs out. Crush your next call, pitch, interview, or keynote for free. Privately, 100% on-device.

The Tellie prompter mid-take on the blue Mac wallpaper: spoken lines are green, the current word is highlighted, upcoming sections wait in orange, the tally reads 1 of 2, and a nudge says Running long, Focus on them is still ahead, with a Jump there button.

“It truly is a magnificent app.”  Sprague Theobald, two-time Emmy-winning writer / producer

New in Tellie 1.5 · Stagehand

The only teleprompter that understands.

Stagehand watches your take as you talk: must-cover sections check themselves off, key phrases count even when you go off script, and a gentle nudge arrives only when time is getting short. When you stop, you see what you actually covered.

Tellie knows what you're saying. A marked section greens as you cover it, live.
The offer
Everything's thirty percent off through Sunday. That's the one line I can't skip, so I marked it must-cover, and the whole paragraph greens as I cover it.
