Native Teleprompter Built for Apple Silicon
Apple Silicon changed what a Mac app can be. Telepront is a teleprompter rebuilt from scratch in Swift to take advantage of that change. There is no Electron, no Chromium, no hidden web view: just a tiny native binary that launches instantly and scrolls glassily on every M-series chip.
See It in Action
Most cross-platform teleprompters are web apps wrapped in Electron. They work, but they cost battery, push the fans and feel sluggish next to real Mac software. Telepront takes the opposite path. The entire app is written in Swift and SwiftUI, compiled for Apple Silicon, and signed for the Mac App Store sandbox.\nThe payoff is everywhere. Cold start is under a second. Memory stays under 100 MB even with a long shooting script. Scrolling animations use Core Animation directly, so the GPU does the work the GPU is built for. On M2 Air or M1 MacBook Pro, the fans never spin. On M3 Pro and M4 Max, the app barely registers in Activity Monitor.\nApple Silicon also unlocks on-device speech recognition. Voice scrolling tracks your reading word by word using the Neural Engine, and because it is on-device, your scripts never touch a server. That matters for journalists, lawyers, sales teams and anyone reading material that is not yours to share.\nIf you bought a Mac because you wanted Mac software, Telepront is the teleprompter that respects that choice. Free, native, built for Apple Silicon.

How to Get Started
Tips from Creators
Keep the panel within 5 cm of the camera lens vertically so your gaze stays inside the frame.
Set font size based on distance: 36 pt at 50 cm, 56 pt at 1 m, 100 pt at 2 m.
Look at the top line, not the middle, so you read with anticipation rather than chasing the cursor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really native, or just an Electron wrapper?
It is fully native Swift and SwiftUI. There is no Electron, no Chromium and no embedded web view.
Which Apple Silicon chips are supported?
Every shipping chip: M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, M1 Ultra, M2, M2 Pro, M2 Max, M2 Ultra, M3, M3 Pro, M3 Max, M4, M4 Pro and M4 Max.
Will it run under Rosetta on an Intel Mac?
Telepront targets Apple Silicon and macOS 14 or newer. Intel Macs running older macOS versions are not supported.
Does it use the Neural Engine for speech recognition?
Apple's on-device speech APIs use the Neural Engine where available, which means voice scrolling is fast and battery-friendly on every M-series Mac.
How big is the install?
The download is small, well under 50 MB, and the running app stays under 100 MB of memory.
