Why Tele

Designed to disappear

The best tool is the one nobody notices. Tele stays out of sight — from your audience, from screen share, from everything except your eyes.

👁

Right under the camera

Your script sits directly below the lens. Your audience sees natural eye contact — not someone reading off-screen.

🔒

Invisible on screen share

Content-protected window. On Zoom, Meet, or any call — only you can see it. Present with confidence.

Free & open source

MIT licensed. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. Your scripts stay local. Fork it, extend it, make it yours.

Features

Everything you need,
nothing you don't

Tele does one thing and does it well.

01

Global keyboard shortcuts

Play, pause, speed up, slow down, seek — all without leaving your current app. Hands on keyboard, flow unbroken.

02

Markdown-aware

Write with headers, bold, italic, stage directions, and separators. Structured scripts in, clean teleprompter out.

03

Adjustable speed

10 speed levels with real-time adjustment. Find your pace and change it on the fly with a keyboard shortcut.

04

Menu bar blending

Samples your actual menu bar color and matches it. The app becomes part of your screen — visually seamless.

05

Fully local

Scripts in localStorage, config in a JSON file. No server, no sync, no analytics. Your data never leaves your Mac.

06

Sentence-smart splitting

Long paragraphs are automatically split at sentence boundaries for comfortable reading at any scroll speed.

Coming soon

Voice-synced scrolling

Tele will listen as you speak and scroll your script in real time, matching your natural pace. No fixed speed, no manual adjustments. Just talk.

Hands on the keyboard

Every action has a global shortcut. Remap them in Settings.
