@VincentLogic: Someone open-sourced an invisible teleprompter hidden in the MacBook notch. The most awkward thing during a video call: you either look at the screen or at the camera. You can't do both at the same time, so the other person always sees your eyes wandering. The idea of this tool is clever: it displays the teleprompter content in the notch area, because the camera is right in the middle of the notch. When you look at the teleprompter, your eyes naturally face the camera.

Someone open-sourced an invisible teleprompter that hides in the MacBook’s notch.

One of the most awkward things during video meetings is: you either look at the screen content or at the camera. You can’t do both at the same time, so the other person always sees your eyes wandering.

The idea behind this tool is clever. It displays teleprompter text in the notch area. Since the camera is right in the center of the notch, when you read the text, your eyes naturally face the camera.

A few details:

• If Privacy Mode is on, shared screens won’t show the text.
• Speed, font, and width are adjustable.
• A hotkey jumps back 5 seconds.
• Runs natively on macOS with no lag.

Free and open-source (GitHub link in the comments).

Works really well with AI: before a meeting, ask Claude or GPT to organize the key points you want to cover, import them, then during the meeting you read and speak while maintaining eye contact throughout.

It’s especially useful for product demos, client proposals, and interviews. Before, if you wanted a teleprompter, you either bought professional gear or opened a small window. Now it’s hidden right in the notch—completely invisible to the other party.

If you spend a lot of time on MacBook meetings, give it a try. Once you install it, you won’t want to go back.
