About CueNotch
CueNotch is a macOS teleprompter app that places your script directly inside the MacBook notch — the small black area at the top of the screen where the camera lives — so your eyes naturally align with the camera while reading. It features 100% on-device voice-activated scrolling powered by Apple's native speech recognition, requiring no internet connection and keeping all your data private. With a one-time $29 lifetime purchase, it's designed for creators, professionals, and anyone who speaks on camera and wants to eliminate the tell-tale signs of reading from notes.
- Voice-Activated Scrolling — CueNotch listens to your microphone and automatically scrolls the script to match your speaking pace, with no foot pedals or clickers needed.
- Perfect Eye Contact — The script sits right next to the camera in the MacBook notch, so your audience sees confident, natural eye contact every time.
- Ghost Mode (Pro) — CueNotch stays completely invisible during Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and any other screen sharing tool, keeping your teleprompter a secret.
- 100% Private & Offline — All speech processing runs on-device using Apple's native frameworks; your scripts and voice data are never sent to any server.
- Smart Script Editor — A built-in markdown editor with live preview lets you write, edit, and organize scripts with recent-file access and clean formatting.
- Hotkey Control — Toggle CueNotch with Cmd+Shift+Space and use arrow keys for manual scrolling without leaving your flow.
- AI Humanize (Pro) — Rewrites your scripts to sound more natural and conversational before you present.
- Liquid Pulse & Emotion-Aware Colors (Pro) — Animated voice-reactive border and emotion-aware color highlighting add visual feedback while you speak.
- Quick Setup — Download the DMG, drag to Applications, paste your script, and start speaking — no sign-ups or accounts required for the free tier.
- Free Tier Available — The free plan includes 3 daily activations, scripts up to 100 words, voice-activated scrolling, hotkey controls, and the built-in editor.
