Pro Teleprompter for Mac Studio Production Rigs
Mac Studio is built for serious video and podcast workflows, and Telepront is the kind of lean native app it deserves. Written in Swift for Apple Silicon, it sits above OBS, Final Cut, ATEM Mini Software Control and Loopback without taking GPU or memory away from the things that actually need it.
See It in Action
Mac Studio rigs typically pair the box with two or three large displays, an Apollo or RME interface and a real cinema or mirrorless camera. Telepront fits this stack by behaving like any other professional macOS tool: native windowing, AppKit window levels, full-screen aware, and zero hidden web views.\nThe floating panel is the centre of the experience. Place it on the display under your camera and it stays there across launches. On Mac Studio's massive memory you can keep a long shooting script open all day with no penalty, and because rendering is GPU-light, you can run 4K and 5K previews next to it without contention.\nVoice scrolling is the killer feature on Mac Studio because you finally have a real microphone in the chain. Apple's on-device speech recognition reads your input fast enough to advance the script as you talk, and the entire pipeline runs locally on the Ultra cores, so there is no cloud dependency and no privacy concern.\nFor live production with ATEM Mini or vMix, the always-on-top behaviour means you can run a full-screen multi-view on one display and the prompter on another, with no risk of the panel disappearing when you switch program. Telepront earns its place in a Mac Studio rig the same way every other tool there does: by being fast, native and out of the way.

How to Get Started
Tips from Creators
Anchor the panel just under the camera on your secondary 27 inch or 32 inch display, leaving a 5 cm gap so your gaze reads as eye contact.
At 2 m from a 32 inch monitor, 110 to 130 pt text is easy to read without leaning forward.
Keep the panel narrow and only 4 to 5 lines tall so your eyes stay parked near the lens.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Telepront use any meaningful CPU on a Mac Studio?
No. The app sits at well under one percent CPU even at the highest scroll speed. Mac Studio resources stay free for capture, encoding and editing.
Does it support three or four external displays?
Yes. macOS treats every display as a movable surface and Telepront's floating panel can live on any of them.
What macOS version is required?
macOS 14 Sonoma or newer, including macOS 15 Sequoia with window tiling.
Can it run alongside OBS, ATEM Mini Software Control and Loopback at once?
Yes. Telepront is designed to coexist with full production stacks and stays above every window without stealing focus.
Does voice scrolling work with audio interfaces?
Yes. Any input device macOS can see, including UAD, Universal Audio Apollo, Focusrite or RODE interfaces, can drive Telepront's voice tracking.
