Free Teleprompter Software for MacOS
with Seamless Google Doc Integration
And Dual windows so you can edit the script while the talent is reading
Real-time script changes, without the scramble.
Google Docs collaboration
Work from a shared Google Doc so producers, writers, and legal can update the same source. One script. One version. No last-minute handoffs.
Dual-window operator control
Prep and manage the script in an Operator Workspace while the speaker sees a clean Prompt Output Window.
Real-time editing
Edit the script live, even while the speaker is reading a different section. The read can keep moving while updates are happening.
When the script changes, most prompting tools slow you down.
- Scripts need updates seconds before showtime
- Multiple stakeholders want to edit the script ALL AT ONCE
- Talent asks for tweaks right before going live
- The run of show shifts mid-event
- No time for a Copy-paste workflow
When the script changes, you need the update to land fast, without breaking the show.
Shared script workflow through Google Docs
The script flows from a shared Google Doc into the prompt window, with operator control over zoom and display.
Built for teams where updates never stop:
- Writers are still writing
- Producers are still producing
- Legal is still reviewing
- The client is still changing their mind
Now with Promptosaurus, your whole team can contribute from anywhere at anytime, all without interrupting the speaker
Built to prevent show-day problems
- Fewer wrong-version moments
- Fewer client problems when the script shifts
- Faster changes without re-building the script
- Faster jumps when the presenter order changes
- Less operator stress during live runs
Teleprompting tools that help you move fast.
- Robust bookmarks: Jump to intros, transitions, Q&A, or backup lines. Bookmarks are visible in the edit view, not the presenter output.
- Lock + sync: Keep edit and output aligned when you are moving quickly. Visual indicators help you track what the speaker is seeing.
- Global hotkeys: Control scroll speed and pause even when Promptosaurus is not the active app.
- Eyeline overlay: Optional overlay to help talent keep eyes where they need to be. Includes a movable indicator you can place over the lens.
- Minimal-friction UI: Focused on live-run operator needs. Built to reduce clicks and reduce confusion.
- Onboarding tour: Built-in tour and overlays to help new operators learn the workflow fast.

Operator Workspace
- Paste, edit, and prep the script
- Add bookmarks and highlight sections
- Make changes anywhere in the script even while the speaker is reading
Prompt Output Window
- Dedicated presenter output
- Full-screen speaker view
- Clean display without operator tools

How to Get Started With Promptosaurus
Edit Window Follows Prompt Window
One feature we love in Promptosaurus is the option to to have The Edit Window automatically follow the promt window’s position. In a dual-window teleprompter system, the speaker sees the prompt...
EyeLine Focus
Eyeline is really important for through-the-lens teleprompting where the talent is meant to be looking directly at the camera. That sounds obvious, but it is actually one of the most delicate parts...
Inverting Black and White, Without Inverting Colors

Global Hotkeys Keep the Teleprompter Moving

The Teleprompter Operator Needs to Know What the Speaker Can See
One of the features I invented for Promptosaurus is something I call the Live Prompt Indicator. The rougher, more literal name is: flashing indicates prompt in edit. When the teleprompter operator...
What Dual-Window Teleprompting Is and Why It Matters
Most teleprompter applications work in a very simple way. The operator opens a script on a laptop, makes the text large, and mirrors that laptop screen to the teleprompter. Whatever is on the...
The Teleprompter Operator Should Not Be the Typist
In a typical teleprompter workflow, the teleprompter operator already has several jobs. They set up the equipment, maintain the equipment, keep an eye on the signal, and make sure the prompter is...
Waiting Is the Killer in Teleprompting
The main thing about using Google Docs in a teleprompting workflow is simple: it saves time. Time is one of the most important resources on a shoot. More time gives the production team more chances...
Which Script Version Is Current?
After 16 years of teleprompting, I can say this with confidence: script version confusion has wasted thousands of hours on professional shoots. It has wasted thousands of hours for operators, but...
