Telepront: A Free Cueprompter Alternative for Mac
Cueprompter is the classic free web teleprompter — barebones, browser-based, and unchanged for years. Telepront is a modern native macOS alternative: still free, but with voice tracking, an always-on-top floating window, and Apple Silicon performance.
See It in Action
Cueprompter is fine for an emergency: open a browser, paste a script, hit start. But the lack of voice tracking, the inability to float above other apps, and the dependence on a browser tab make it awkward for any serious Mac recording.
Telepront keeps the simplicity — paste a script and read — while adding the features Mac creators actually need. Voice tracking lets you scroll hands-free; the always-on-top window means Telepront stays in place when you focus QuickTime or Zoom; mirror mode supports beam-splitter rigs.
Everything runs on-device. Apple's Speech framework handles voice tracking locally, so privacy is built in. There is no account, no upload, and no analytics.
For Mac users who appreciate Cueprompter's free price but want a real native experience, Telepront is the obvious next step.
