Teleprompter for iPhone Continuity Camera on Mac
Continuity Camera turned the iPhone into the best webcam most Mac users will ever own, and Telepront is the teleprompter built around that workflow. Mount the iPhone above your Mac, place the floating script panel just under the lens, and you have a studio-grade rig with hardware you already own.
See It in Action
Continuity Camera works because the iPhone has a far better sensor than any built-in Mac camera. The catch is that the phone is now physically above your Mac, which is exactly where a teleprompter should go. Telepront is built for that geometry.\nMount the iPhone above the laptop or display using a Belkin or MagSafe clamp, then drag Telepront's floating panel directly under the lens. Center Stage will keep you framed, Studio Light will cleanly relight you, and the script will be just below the camera so your eyes read as direct contact.\nBecause Telepront is native and tiny, it never competes with the Continuity Camera pipeline. The phone handles ML, the Mac handles the script, and there is no shared bottleneck. Voice scrolling can use either the iPhone microphone over Continuity or any other macOS input, and runs entirely on-device on Apple Silicon.\nFor remote workers, podcasters and YouTubers who already have an iPhone and a Mac, Continuity Camera plus Telepront is the cheapest professional teleprompter rig in existence: zero new hardware, zero subscription.
Key Features
How to Get Started
Tips from Creators
Park the panel 1 to 2 cm below the iPhone lens, centred horizontally with the camera.
At 60 cm reading distance, 40 to 48 pt keeps the script comfortable without making the panel too tall.
Keep the panel only 4 lines tall so your eyes stay parked near the lens, not drifting down the screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need anything besides Telepront and my iPhone?
An iPhone XR or newer on iOS 16+, a Mac on macOS 14+, and ideally a Belkin or third-party iPhone mount. Telepront handles the rest.
Does it interfere with Center Stage or Studio Light?
No. Telepront only renders text in a floating panel; the camera pipeline is untouched, so Center Stage and Studio Light keep working normally.
What about Desk View?
Desk View runs on the iPhone, Telepront runs on the Mac. They cohabit happily. The floating panel stays above any Desk View preview window.
Does the panel block my video?
Only if you make it huge. A typical 5 to 6 line strip below the iPhone leaves your camera framing untouched.
Will voice scrolling work with the iPhone as the microphone?
Yes. macOS lets you select the iPhone's mic via Continuity, and Telepront uses on-device speech recognition with whichever input you pick.
