Recito turns your iPhone or iPad into a teleprompter that records. Your script scrolls high, right under the lens, over the live camera — so you look into the camera instead of down at your notes. It feels like Apple's Camera app, with the words where your eyes already are. No account. No cloud. No subscription. Everything stays on your device. THE TELEPROMPTER, DONE RIGHT - The script sits high under the lens on a frosted, legible scrim — reading reads as eye contact. - Adjust font size and scroll speed with a slider. - Preview the scroll before you record to dial in your pace. - Grab the text with your finger to scrub it mid-take. - Mirror mode for beam-splitter teleprompter rigs. ON IPAD TOO - Full screen in landscape or portrait, or beside another app; readable at arm's length. PAUSE WITHOUT LOSING THE TAKE - Pause mid-script and the teleprompter freezes on the word you stopped at — carry on from exactly there. - You still get ONE video. The pauses are invisible in the result. - Fluffed a line? Delete just that part and record it again; the script rewinds with it. RECORD AND REVIEW - 3-2-1 countdown, then record like the stock Camera. - Front or rear camera, portrait, with audio. - Shoot several takes and play them back. - A pace coach reads your delivery in words-per-minute — relaxed, great, or a touch fast. - Keep the best take; it saves straight to Photos, ready for Reels, Shorts, or TikTok. WORD-BY-WORD CAPTIONS (RECITO PRO) - After a take, your script's words are timed to your own voice, on your device. - Four styles. Auto finds your face and puts them under it when there's room; or choose top, middle or bottom. - Lines Recito wasn't sure of are marked for you to check, and you can retype any line. - Burned in when you save. iOS 26, in languages your device recognises on-device. IT FOLLOWS YOUR VOICE - Just read. The script keeps pace with you — speed up, slow down, pause to think, and the words stay where your eyes are. - No speed to set and nothing to hold. Your hands stay free for the take. - The word you are reading is marked, at the top of the band or in the middle, whichever you prefer. - Recognition runs entirely on your device. Nothing is recorded, uploaded or kept — there is no account and no network involved. - The language comes from the script itself, so there is nothing to choose. It works in the languages your device can already recognise; the app tells you plainly when yours is not one of them. - Included free, on every script you can write for free. It starts off, so the script scrolls at the speed you set; turn it on with the Voice button when you want it. REMOTES AND KEYBOARDS - A Bluetooth camera remote, the volume buttons or Camera Control start and pause your take. Finish with the checkmark. - Apple Watch (Recito Pro): start, pause and finish a take from your wrist. Finish asks first. - With a keyboard, page turner or presentation clicker: Space starts and pauses; during a take, the arrow keys move the script. YOUR SCRIPTS, IN ORDER - Folders, and your own order: drag scripts where you want them, or keep the last edited on top. - On iPad, folders and scripts sit in a sidebar beside the script you're writing, as in Notes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Recito collects nothing. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected." - No analytics, no trackers, no network code outside Apple's StoreKit. - Your scripts and videos never leave your device unless you save or share them. ONE-TIME UNLOCK, NO SUBSCRIPTION - Writing scripts, the teleprompter, voice-following, recording, and multiple takes are free. - Recito Pro is a single one-time purchase: removes the watermark, allows unlimited-length scripts and adds captions and the Apple Watch remote. - Restore it for free on any device on your Apple ID. Recito requires camera and microphone access to record, and permission to add videos to Photos when you save. Nothing leaves your phone. Questions? support@suprun.ca

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Recito at none against Sequester App's shown. Recito also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days) and ratings volume (11 vs 2). Sequester App's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Recito sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sequester App sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Sequester App holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Recito has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Recito ships an update every 2 days, Sequester App every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
