Notch - Stop memorizing scripts for demos and calls.
by•
Notch is an open-source, invisible-to-screensharing, smart teleprompter for Mac and Windows that sits next to your laptop camera so you can read your script while looking at the lens (perfect for hackathon demos and meetings). Your script scrolls with your speech, it's completely offline, doesn't collect your data and you don't have to pay $59 for it :)

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Syed, one of the makers behind Notch.
We built this because we kept bombing hackathon demos, reading scripts from a separate window and losing our place mid-sentence.
So we made an open-source teleprompter that floats right next to your webcam and scrolls automatically with your voice (local speech model, no cloud nonsense).
It runs fully on-device, stays completely invisible during screenshares, works on both Mac and Windows, and shines for interviews, calls, and live demos.
We noticed there were no smart teleprompters for Windows so here you go!
Free forever if you get it during launch week. We've been using it for calls and recordings for weeks now, and we'd love feedback especially around real-world usability. I'll be here all day :)
I have been using the demo version for a while now and the app is perfect. It has exactly what you need in a compact menu - no extra features that nobody wants to distract from the main thing. 10/10 would recommend!
@samarrarr Glad to hear that really! We're trying our best to balance simplicity and the "power user" features, we definitely have AI-integration planned to make that easier for Notch V2! 😁
This is actually super useful
I’ve been struggling with explaining my project clearly on camera, especially for hackathons and demos, and this solves a real problem. Being able to use it as a teleprompter while recording without it showing up during screen share is such a game changer.
Definitely going to use this for my next demo, great work 🔥
@ahmad_work1 That's literally why we built it haha, we were in the exact same spot. Let us know how your next demo goes, would love to hear if it helps! And if anything feels off, kindly let us know!
I have grabbed this. I want to create more video content and struggle so much with speaking confidently. Thanks!
@james_plant Appreciate it James! Let us know how it goes, and of course any suggestions you have on Notch, we're trying to make it as use-case-inclusive as possible :)
Hi, first off—great work on Notch. The idea of a voice-following teleprompter that keeps eye contact natural is genuinely useful, and the product looks really promising.
I tried running the app on my Windows 11 (64-bit) laptop (Ryzen 5 5500U), but I’m getting the error: “This app can’t run on your PC.”
My system is x64-based and fully supports 64-bit applications, so I don’t think it’s a compatibility limitation on my side. I’ve also tried re-downloading the file and running it as administrator, but the issue still persists.
Could you clarify whether this build targets a specific architecture (e.g., ARM) or if there are additional requirements to run it?
Looking forward to trying it once this is resolved—really like what you’re building here.
@mohamed_eltour hey mohamed, thank you for your kind words :) you can go ahead and download the windows version now. the issue was from the download on our end.
