Avocado is the first notch teleprompter powered by Apple Intelligence. It tucks into your MacBook notch and disappears — invisible to Zoom, Teams, Loom, even screenshots. Completely. Inside: a minimal editor, adaptive voice scrolling at your exact pace, word per minute tracking, script markers and smart cue points. Outside: nothing. Your audience sees presence, not effort. Mac-only by choice. Built in Swift, designed to feel like it always belonged there.
Hey PH! 👋 I'm Gena, the developer behind Avocado.
I've seen quite a few notch prompters for Mac, but each one was missing something I wanted. So naturally, I took that as a great excuse to build my own.
The thing I couldn't find anywhere: a prompter that actually adapts to your reading speed on the fly — no manual speed fiddling, it just follows your pace. Also, when do I need to take a break or smile? That became the core of Avocado.
Everything else I wanted while I was at it:
— Invisible to screen share, Zoom, Loom, even screenshots
— SwiftUI, so that it would feel native
— Focus guide that dims already-read text
— Floating window mode (surprisingly rare in others)
— Voice-activated + mouse/trackpad scrolling
— All processing happens on-device
— Script markers, when presenting long script, just set your points and hit Cmd+Shift+C to jump between sections instantly.
— Smart cues, Avocado analyzes your script to suggest the perfect moments to pause, smile, or take a breath. It’s like having a director in your notch—and you can always tweak the cues to match your vibe.
There's a free version with the core experience. Pro is $19.99, one-time. No subscriptions.
Would love to hear what you think — what is your biggest struggle when presenting on Zoom/Meet/Teams?
What feature would you like to see added next?
P.S. To celebrate the launch, I built a free browser tool that calculates your exact speaking WPM and gives you a 'Presenter Archetype' - https://avocadonotch.com/rhythm. Try it out and let me know your speed in the comments!
