About this app

Read your script without ever looking away from the lens.

Promptness floats a teleprompter on top of your camera app, so your words sit over the frame while you record. You keep eye contact and sound natural instead of glancing off to the side — and because your camera records through the lens, the prompter shows on your screen only. It never appears in the video.

A few words at a time, highlighted as you say them, at a pace you set. Launch it and talk.


WHY CREATORS USE IT

• Floats over any recording app — your camera, Reels, Shorts, TikTok or a video call.
• Word-by-word highlighting — a karaoke-style highlight follows your pace so you never lose your place.
• See just enough — one focal line with a soft look-ahead to what is coming, not a wall of text.
• Drag it under your lens — reposition and resize the band so your eyeline stays on camera.
• Taps pass through — the area outside the band goes straight to your camera's record button.


SET YOUR PACE

Delivery presets to match what you are shooting:
• Conversational — relaxed, everyday pace
• Presentation — clear and measured
• Energetic — fast and punchy for short-form
• Deliberate — slow and emphatic

Or dial in an exact words-per-minute and words-per-batch. Drop [pause:600] anywhere in your script to hold for a beat, or [break] to land a hard stop.


MAKE IT YOURS

• Transparent by default so only the text floats over your shot — or add a solid backing when you need contrast.
• Choose your text and background colours.
• Adjust text size, panel height, and where the focal line sits.
• Look-ahead opacity for the upcoming lines.
• A 3-2-1 countdown before playback so you are ready when it starts.


BRING YOUR OWN SCRIPT

• Type or paste straight into the app.
• Import .txt, .md, .srt and .vtt files.
• Recent scripts stay in a library, one tap away.


SLIDE MARKERS (PRO)

Log the exact moment you change a graphic while filming, then carry those timestamps into your edit:
• A flash and beep at t=0 gives you a clapperboard-style sync point on camera.
• Tap MARK at every slide change while you record.
• Nudge the whole set into alignment afterwards, label or delete individual markers, and pick your frame rate.
• Export as CSV, YouTube chapters, DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere markers, or JSON.

No more scrubbing the timeline hunting for the frame where you changed a slide.


SLIDES IN FRAME (PRO)

Import a PDF deck or a set of images and keep the current slide on screen next to your script, so you can present and read at the same time.


PERFECT FOR

• YouTube and talking-head videos
• Instagram Reels, Stories and TikTok
• Product demos and reviews
• Courses, tutorials and training
• Announcements, pitches and updates


FREE AND PRO

Free — the full teleprompter: presets, custom pace, colours, sizing, script import, and 10 prompter plays a day.
Pro (subscription) — unlimited plays, slide markers with editor exports, and slide decks.


PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

No account, no sign-up. Your scripts and marker sessions stay on your device.

Promptness uses the "display over other apps" permission so the prompter can float over your camera. That is the whole point of the app — nothing is shown or collected in the background.
