Stinger
Your eyes never leave the lens, so the words look like your own thoughts, not a read.
Stinger: Teleprompter — a Mac app that hangs your script right under the camera, in the notch, invisible to everyone but you.
A black panel hangs off the notch so the words sit within a couple of degrees of the camera, or floats anywhere you drag it on non-notch Macs.
Auto for a steady timed pace, Voice to scroll while you talk and pause when you stop, or Track to follow the words you actually say.
Track mode measures your speaking speed as you read and sets the fallback pace to match, so it doesn't guess.
Stinger asks macOS to exclude its window from screen capture, so a shared screen or a recorded call shows you, not your notes.
Everything lives as ordinary text files on your Mac, with a built-in library and editor — no account, no cloud required.
⌘P from any app starts or pauses the scroll, so you can set up once and just hit record.
Paste or write your script in Stinger's built-in editor, or pull one straight from KBD with one click.
The script sits in a panel anchored to your Mac's notch, right under the camera, so your eyes barely move.
Set a steady pace, let it scroll while you talk, or let Track mode follow the actual words you say.
Share your screen or record with confidence — Stinger asks macOS to leave it out of the capture, so only you see it.
You already know what to say — the camera shouldn't be the thing that takes it from you. Every new Mac shipped with a notch sitting right where a teleprompter mount belongs, and almost nobody uses it that way. We think that's a tooling problem, not a personality trait, and it's been solvable since teleprompters cost more than the camera.
Stinger hasn't launched yet, so there are no reviews, no user counts, and no testimonials to show you here — and we'd rather say that plainly than fake a proof wall. What exists is a working Mac app with the notch panel, all three scroll modes, screen-capture exclusion, and KBD sync already built and running. Join the launch list and you'll be using it before there's a public track record — which is exactly the point of getting in early.
