Teleprompter Across Multiple Monitors on Mac
If you record or stream with two or more displays, you want your teleprompter on a specific screen and pinned there. Telepront's floating panel can be dragged to any connected monitor on macOS and kept always-on-top regardless of which display is active. Free, native Swift app for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
See It in Action
Multi-monitor setups are common for creators who record on a Mac. A typical layout puts the camera and recording app on one display and reference materials, scripts, or chat on another. Telepront fits this workflow because the floating panel is a movable, resizable window that you can park on whichever display makes sense for your shoot.
Drag the panel to your second monitor and it stays there. Always-on-top behavior is per-window, not per-display, so the prompter floats above whatever app is in focus on that screen. If you record in OBS on the primary display and use the secondary display purely for the script, this gives you a clean, distraction-free read.
Snap-to-edge works on each display independently. Snap to the bottom edge of your second monitor for a thin reading strip, or to the top for a more conventional eyeline. Font size and opacity are controlled from the toolbar and apply wherever the panel currently lives.
Telepront is a native Mac app, so it inherits macOS's display handling. It works with Apple Studio Display, LG UltraFine, generic HDMI monitors, and the built-in MacBook display. Voice tracking and the always-on-top behavior continue regardless of which screen the panel is on.

Use your secondary monitor for the prompter so the recording app keeps its full canvas
Bump font size on a high-DPI external display to maintain reading distance
Park the panel close to the camera lens, not at the far edge of the screen
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep the prompter on my second monitor while I work on the main one?
Yes. Drag the panel to the second display once and it stays there until you move it again.
Does it work with three or more displays?
macOS supports as many displays as your Mac model allows; Telepront places the panel on whichever display you drag it to.
What if my displays have different resolutions?
The panel is resizable. macOS handles scaling, and the font scales independently of the window size, so a 4K external and a Retina built-in both look sharp.
Does the panel jump back to the main display when I disconnect a monitor?
macOS will move the window to a remaining display if its home screen disappears. Reconnecting the monitor lets you drag it back.
Is it free?
Yes. Telepront is free on the Mac App Store.
