Overview
Tellie is a native Apple Silicon Mac teleprompter that lives in the notch beside your camera, transcribing your speech on-device and following your actual delivery instead of scrolling at a fixed speed. Its Stagehand feature lets you mark must-cover points before you speak, then checks them off as you go, warns when one may not fit, and debriefs each take afterward. It works fully offline, stays invisible to screen shares and recordings, and imports Word, PDF, RTF, and Apple Pages documents.
