CueFlow is an intuitive teleprompter and video recording app designed for creators, educators, presenters, and vloggers. Whether speaking directly to the camera, producing tutorials, or presenting during virtual meetings, CueFlow keeps your delivery natural and confident. Key Capabilities: • Smart Teleprompting: Practice and record with constant-speed scrolling, manual dragging, or voice-follow scrolling. Text mirroring works independently from video mirroring, making it ideal for physical teleprompter glass rigs. • Studio Camera & Post-Processing: Compose with 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 framing guides, with countdown timers, framing grids, lens zoom, background replacement, and beauty filters. Preview and retake immediately after recording while keeping your original footage safe. Export original videos, cropped videos based on framing guides, or isolated audio tracks. • On-Device Subtitle Studio: Generate and adjust subtitles directly on your device. Modify text, timings, font styles, colors, alignment, strokes, and background banners with full precision. • Floating Teleprompter: Keep your script visible over other camera apps or meeting software for seamless multitasking. • Effortless Script Management: Import scripts from TXT, Markdown, RTF, HTML, text-based PDF files, or the clipboard. Pin key scripts to the top and synchronize them seamlessly across your devices via your private iCloud. Free Features vs. CueFlow Pro: • Free: Constant-speed and manual scrolling, camera recording and media asset management, multi-format script import, SRT subtitle export, standard floating teleprompter, and private iCloud script sync. • CueFlow Pro: Unlock voice-follow teleprompting for personal scripts, speech rate feedback, automated subtitle generation, video export with burned-in subtitles, floating voice-follow, phone-to-phone remote control, external Bluetooth controller/gamepad support, and Apple Watch remote control. Pricing and plan details are available in the app. Privacy by Design: CueFlow does not require an account or login, contains no third-party tracking SDKs, and does not operate backend servers to receive your scripts, audio, or video. Your content is local-first, syncing through your personal private iCloud database when enabled. Permissions for camera, microphone, speech recognition, photo library, and local network are requested strictly when you invoke the corresponding features.

About

TetherCam

Your iPhone, instead of a webcam. TWO APPS, ONE CABLE TetherCam is two free apps. TetherCam for Mac is downloaded from tethercam.app; TetherCam for iPhone is this one. Install both, connect the phone to the Mac with the USB cable you already own, and the iPhone shows up as the camera "TetherCam" on the Mac, in the same camera picker as the built-in one. It works in every Mac app that lists system cameras: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, FaceTime, QuickTime Player, Safari, Chrome and the rest. Zoom and Microsoft Teams were verified on 10 September 2026. Nothing travels over Wi-Fi, nothing passes through a server, nothing is uploaded anywhere. There is no account, no pairing code and no discovery step. The cable is the whole path, which is why the picture stays stable in a crowded room where wireless cameras start to stutter. WHAT YOU NEED An iPhone with iOS 17 or newer, a Mac with macOS 14 or newer, and the USB cable that came with the phone. The free TetherCam Mac app asks once for approval of its camera extension in System Settings; after that the camera is simply there. THE HONEST LIMITS The Mac app carries the picture only. A Mac camera extension has no audio stream, so the sound stays with the Mac's own microphone. Audio over the cable exists, but only on the OBS path below. This iPhone app stays open in the foreground while it sends. The phone serves one receiver at a time. The Mac app and the OBS plugin are not used together; whichever connects second is told that the line is busy. ON THE PHONE Live preview from the moment you open the app, before anything is connected. A camera and lens picker for the wide, ultra wide and telephoto lenses or the front camera, switching the stream immediately. Automatic rotation that follows the horizon rather than the interface. Turn the phone and the picture stays level, because the orientation is resolved on the capture side. There is a manual angle override when you want to decide yourself. Hardware HEVC encoding, which keeps the phone cool and the latency low. A diagnostics panel that shows what is actually happening: listener state, connection, frames per second, bitrate and the measured levelling residual. FOR STREAMING AND RECORDING: OBS STUDIO The TetherCam plugin for OBS Studio is the pro path, also free and also at tethercam.app. It adds a source called TetherCam directly in OBS, finds the phone through the same cable, and it is the only path that brings the microphone of the phone across as well. PRIVACY No account, no analytics, no advertising, no purchases. The camera picture goes to your own Mac and nowhere else. Nothing is collected. TetherCam for iPhone is free and open source under the MIT licence at github.com/Kanevry/tethercam.
