yPrompt is the professional teleprompter for creators, speakers, and broadcasters. Whether you're recording a YouTube video, delivering a keynote, or hosting a podcast, yPrompt keeps your words flowing naturally โ€” without anyone knowing you're reading a script. FOUR WAYS TO READ โ€ข Auto โ€” Smooth continuous scroll at your chosen pace โ€ข Tap โ€” Advance each line manually with a single tap โ€ข Voice โ€” The script follows your words as you speak and waits when you pause โ€ข Timed โ€” Auto-pace your delivery to hit a target duration every time LYRICS STYLE Every word lights up as you read, like song lyrics. Upcoming lines stay sharp, so you can always read ahead. RECORD AS YOU READ On iPhone and iPad, your script sits right under the camera, so you look straight into the lens. Or choose Audio Only to record just your voice. EDIT IN SECONDS Every take lands in the Recordings tab. Cut, trim and reorder pieces, remove the pauses between sentences, and record more right where you left off: the script carries on from your last word. Add captions spelled exactly like your script, in Lyrics or Clean style. Save videos to Photos, or share audio with its transcript and subtitles. BUILT FOR EVERY APPLE DEVICE yPrompt runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch. On Mac, a floating window hovers just below your webcam โ€” or use the notch teleprompter for a discreet readout built into your display โ€” so you look straight into the lens while delivering every word. On iPhone and iPad, the controls step aside while you read. FULL VISUAL CONTROL Customize text size, colors, line height, text alignment, transparency, and mirror mode โ€” per script. Your mode, speed, and text size carry over, so there's nothing to set up again. SCRIPT ORGANIZATION Write from scratch, paste any text, or import a file. Organize scripts with tags, mark favorites, and search instantly. Build play queues to run multiple scripts back-to-back โ€” perfect for long presentations or multi-segment shoots. CUE POINTS Drop markers anywhere in a script to jump between key sections instantly during a live session. REMOTE CONTROL Control your Mac teleprompter directly from your iPhone over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Or use your Apple Watch for subtle wrist-based control during live presentations โ€” without touching your phone. iCLOUD SYNC All your scripts sync automatically across every device signed into your iCloud account. yPrompt Free includes camera and audio recording, captions and editing, up to 3 scripts, Auto and Tap reading, preset colors, iCloud sync, and the floating window on Mac โ€” no account required. On the free plan, videos carry a small "Made with yPrompt" mark. yPrompt Pro unlocks: โ€ข No yPrompt Mark on Videos โ€ข Voice Scroll โ€ข Lyrics Style โ€ข Timed Mode โ€ข Unlimited Scripts โ€ข Mac Notch Teleprompter โ€ข iPhone Remote โ€ข Custom Colors โ€ข All future Pro features Try the annual plan free for 7 days, choose a weekly subscription, or get Lifetime access with a single one-time purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings.

About

CueSpot

Look at the lens. CueSpot holds your words. CueSpot puts your script directly under the iPhone's front camera, so you read naturally while keeping real eye contact. Write or import a script, set your pace, and record right in the app โ€” your audience sees someone talking to them, not someone reading. MADE FOR TALKING TO CAMERA โ€ข Your script scrolls in a compact window right below the front camera โ€” no darting eyes, no memorizing โ€ข Set your reading speed and text size โ€” your words, your pace โ€ข Record with the front camera without leaving the app; every take lands straight in Photos โ€ข Save your favorite setups as presets and switch between them in seconds โ€ข Import scripts from anywhere with the share sheet โ€” notes, docs, chat, browser ALSO ON YOUR MAC CueSpot for Mac puts your script in the notch of your MacBook, right below the camera โ€” for video calls, recordings and presentations. Your scripts, presets and settings sync through your own iCloud, and your purchase works on both. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your takes go straight to Photos, and your scripts and presets sync only through your own iCloud. There is no account, no sign-up, and no CueSpot server. CueSpot doesn't want your data โ€” it wants you to nail the take. FAIR PRICING, NO SUBSCRIPTION TRAP Try CueSpot free. After that, one small one-time purchase unlocks everything forever. Prefer flexibility? There's a weekly option too โ€” but you'll never be forced into a subscription to keep what you paid for. WHO IT'S FOR Creators filming talking-head videos. Founders recording pitches and updates. Teachers, coaches, and salespeople sending video messages. Anyone who knows what they want to say โ€” and wants to say it to the lens, not to a script. Read. Speak. Record. CueSpot. Questions or feedback: https://cuespot.app Privacy Policy: https://cuespot.app/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
