About the startup
Tellie is the Mac teleprompter that understands. Say it your way; Tellie keeps up. It lives in the MacBook notch, right under the camera. Pause, skip, or ad-lib: Tellie listens to each word you say, keeps your place, checks off your points as you hit them, and keeps you on time. Free, private, 100% on your Mac. What sets Tellie apart: - Your points, in your own words. Mark key points you have to make. Say one in different words and Tellie still checks it off, so you know it landed. - On time without a stopwatch. Give your script a time budget and Tellie lets you know while there's still room to fit in what matters. - A coach after every take. Take Coach gives you a short read on what landed and one thing to try next time, written on your Mac by Apple's on-device model. Optional, one switch. - Companion. Your iPhone or iPad becomes a second screen beside the lens, or a remote in your hand. On the same Mac, it's a private checklist view Zoom never sees. - Presenter Magic. Your Keynote speaker notes magically appear in the notch while you present. - Send to Tellie. Select text in any app, press one shortcut, and it's in the notch. AI agents and scripts can send to it too. And the basics, done right: invisible on calls so Zoom, Teams, Meet and recordings never see it, works on Macs without a notch, 40+ languages, and Pages, Word, PDF, Markdown and text files. No account, no cloud AI. Free to download, and the free version is a real teleprompter. Tellie Pro is $29 $19 with code UNEED19, on up to 3 Macs, with a 14-day refund. No subscription. Every new install starts with 10 days of Pro, no card, no sign-up. Requires an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or later) on macOS 14 or later. Built by Steve Chazin, a former Apple marketer, and named after his granddaughter Ellie, who is just learning to read.
