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

Basic Teleprompter

Features
Read full description

Basic Teleprompter does one thing well: it scrolls your script while you look at the camera, and records you while it does. No account. No subscription. Nothing uploaded. Your scripts and recordings stay on your iPhone. WRITE OR PASTE Type a script or paste one in from anywhere. Formatting from Pages, Google Docs and other editors is kept, so your paragraphs stay the way you wrote them. Leave the title blank and it names itself from your opening words. READ AT YOUR OWN PACE Set the scroll speed from 1 to 100, or type an exact number. Adjust text size, side margins and alignment. Drag the script with your finger at any time to jump ahead or back — it picks up from wherever you let go. RECORD WHILE YOU READ One button starts the countdown, the script and the recording together. Pause and resume mid-take to record one script in several goes, all in a single video. Finished recordings save to the app and to your photo library, named after the script. GET THE SHOT STRAIGHT A level guide shows how far the phone is off straight — sideways tilt and forward lean — and turns green when you are level. It disappears once recording starts, so it never lands in your video. USE A PROPER MICROPHONE Plug in a wired or USB microphone and it is used automatically. The prompter shows which microphone is active before you record, so a mic that failed to connect is obvious up front rather than on playback. MIRROR MODE Flip the text horizontally for teleprompter glass rigs. LIGHT AND DARK Follows your system appearance, or pick light or dark yourself. Made by The Playmakers in Accra, Ghana.
