Read Notes While Streaming With Twitch Studio
Twitch Studio is the simplest way for new streamers to broadcast on Mac — but it has no teleprompter built in, and the streaming layout takes over the screen. Telepront is a free native Mac app that floats above Twitch Studio, scrolling your script as you talk. Twitch Studio captures only the scenes you configure, so the prompter never reaches your viewers.
See It in Action
Twitch Studio is Amazon's official streaming app for Mac, and it's the on-ramp for thousands of new creators each month. It nails the basics — scene switching, alerts, chat — but it doesn't help you when you have a sponsored read, a community announcement, or a scripted segment. Reading from a second window means glancing away from your camera, which is exactly the moment Twitch viewers notice you're not present.
Telepront sits as a floating panel above Twitch Studio. Drop it right beneath your webcam, set the opacity so the camera tally light shows through, and read naturally. The panel never enters your Twitch Studio scenes because Twitch Studio captures specific sources — not your whole desktop — so the script remains invisible to chat.
AI voice tracking adapts to the rhythm of live streaming, where pacing shifts constantly. Apple's on-device speech engine listens, recognizes where you are in the script, and scrolls accordingly. When you take a chat break or banter with a raid, scrolling pauses; when you return to the script, it picks up. No cloud, no recording of your voice, no measurable CPU hit on Apple Silicon.
The app is free on the Mac App Store with no subscription tier. Save scripts for sponsor reads, charity drive talking points, season announcements, and game-launch hype reels. Switch between them with a click and stay on-brand without ever breaking the fourth wall.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Twitch viewers see the teleprompter on stream?
No. Twitch Studio captures only the sources in your active scene, not the entire desktop.
Can I use it during 'Just Chatting' streams?
Yes — it's especially helpful for sponsored segments, channel announcements, and intro hype reads.
Does it work with Twitch Studio mobile?
Telepront is a Mac app. It pairs with Twitch Studio on Mac, not the iOS or Android versions.
Will it conflict with my Stream Deck or hotkey binds?
Telepront uses minimal global shortcuts and they can be remapped to avoid stream control conflicts.
Does it record any of my voice for tracking?
No. Apple's on-device speech recognition processes audio locally and never uploads it.
