Most teleprompters make you follow them. Tellie follows you. It listens to the words you actually say, so you can pause, skip, improvise, or go off script without losing your place. Now Tellie 1.5 knows what you haven’t said yet, too. It tracks your important points, warns when you’re running long, and debriefs your take. All in a 3 MB Mac app that runs locally, with no account and no telemetry. Free for 10 days and $10 off for ProductHunt with code PRODHUNT10
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.
Tellie, the Mac teleprompter that follows your voice, word by word. Not just scrolling when it hears voice. It tracks what you're saying and highlights where you are. Skip ahead, ad-lib, go back. Tellie knows.
Lives in the MacBook notch (or anywhere). Invisible to Zoom. 50 languages, all on-device.
NEW: Presenter Mode auto-displays notes and advances slides when you finish your last word.
Free tier is a real teleprompter. Pro: $18 with code PRODUCTHUNT ($29 after). One-time, no subscription.
