Notchie
A teleprompter hidden in your Mac's notch that scrolls with your voice and stays invisible during screen sharing.
What is Notchie?
Notchie is a macOS teleprompter that lives in the unused space of the Mac notebook notch. It displays your script while you look directly at the camera, scrolls in real‑time using voice activation, and remains completely invisible to viewers during screen sharing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Notchie stay hidden during screen sharing?
The overlay is drawn on a special macOS layer that screen‑capture APIs cannot see, so Zoom, Teams, Meet, OBS and similar apps do not capture it.
Which video‑conference tools are supported?
Notchie works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, OBS and any app that captures the screen on macOS.
Can I pause the scrolling manually?
Yes – hover the mouse over the text to freeze it instantly, or use Shift + ←/→ to adjust speed.
Is there a way to control speed without looking at the screen?
Keyboard shortcuts (Shift + ↑/↓) let you change scroll speed without losing focus on the camera.
What if ambient noise triggers unwanted scrolling?
Microphone sensitivity can be dialed down in the settings, and using headphones can reduce accidental activation.
Does Notchie run on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs?
Yes, the app supports both processor types.
Is there a free trial?
A free demo is available via the “Try Free Demo” link; the full product requires purchase.
What is the refund policy?
A 30‑day money‑back guarantee is offered; contact support for a refund within that period.
