01 · Read
The words you have said light up, and your line stays at the same height.
02 · Go off script
Ad-lib, pause, think. It waits on the last word you read.
03 · Come back
Pick the script back up and it carries on from exactly there.
FeatherCue is a teleprompter app for iPhone and Android that follows your voice: Voice Scroll moves the script as you read aloud and waits when you pause or go off script, and Auto Scroll holds a steady pace. It is free to download, and FeatherCue Pro is a one-time US$4.99 purchase, never a subscription.
Not a mockup. Real screens from FeatherCue on Android — the same black canvas, the same controls, out of your way while you talk.

Auto Scroll holds your pace.

Voice Scroll follows your voice.

Your scripts, no clutter.
No crowded menus, no ads, no upsell banners across your script. The tools you need while recording, and nothing competing for the screen.
Read aloud and the script follows you, highlighting your position. Speech recognition runs through your device, and your scripts are never uploaded to us. Try it free on the built-in guide.
A steady pace you set with a slider, a 3-2-1 countdown, a remaining-time estimate, and tap to pause. No microphone needed.
Record straight from the app while your script rolls. Move, resize, or hide the preview and pick a resolution and frame rate your phone supports.
Horizontal mirror mode for beam-splitter prompting rigs, plus a vertical flip for inverted layouts.
Type, paste, or import TXT, Markdown, and text-based PDF files. Adjust text size and side margins, and switch between light and dark.
Play, pause, and reset from an Apple Watch or a compatible Wear OS watch, so the phone can stay on the tripod.
Plenty of teleprompter apps charge by the month. FeatherCue Pro is a single purchase you keep for life. Auto Scroll, import, and the editor stay free for good; unlock Pro once when you want the rest.

I make my own videos and got tired of prompters that charged a subscription for the basics. FeatherCue is the one I wanted: buy it once, no account, nothing uploaded.— Rex, The Bearded Vagabond
