Better Than an Online Autocue
Online autocue tools run in your browser — which means they can't float over other apps, they lag under heavy browser load, and they need an internet connection. A native Mac autocue app solves all of these problems while remaining completely free.
See It in Action
Browser-based online autocue tools are popular because they're instantly accessible — no installation needed. But this convenience comes at a cost. They can't create floating overlays that sit on top of other apps, so if your recording software is full-screen, you can't see the autocue. They also require an internet connection and compete with your other browser tabs for memory and CPU.
A native Mac autocue app gives you the simplicity of an online tool with none of the limitations. It installs in seconds from the Mac App Store and creates a true system-level floating panel. This means the autocue text stays visible on top of Zoom, OBS, FaceTime, or any full-screen app. Speech recognition runs on-device, so there's no latency and no internet dependency.
