Unhurried

A teleprompter for your Mac

Your words, at your pace.

Unhurried keeps your script in a small prompter just below your camera, so you can look at people and still know what comes next.

Right under your camera

Look up, not down.

The prompter floats just below your camera, tucked under the notch if your Mac has one. It stays above Zoom, Keynote and full-screen apps, and it remembers its size and place on each display.

Turn on click-through to work behind it, or mirror the text for a beam-splitter rig.

Your pace, not the script’s

Set a speed you can actually speak at.

Choose your pace in words per minute. The script takes exactly as long to scroll as it takes you to say it, whatever the font size or window width.

Quick Prompt

Something to say, right now?

Press ⌥P in any app, type or paste a few lines, and press Return. No script to set up first. You can change the shortcut in Settings.

Talking Points

Notes, not a script.

Prefer to speak freely? Show one point at a time and press Space when you’re ready for the next.

Visual Cues

A picture at the right moment.

Attach an image to any paragraph. It appears beside your words when you reach it, then steps aside.

Share Safe

A heads-up before you share.

If a meeting or screen-recording app is open on screen, Unhurried gives you a gentle reminder, so you can share a single window instead of your whole display.

Gaston the snail

Meet Gaston

Chief Pace Officer.

He wears the beret. We stopped asking questions.

Every word you prompt moves Gaston a little further along his trail, from a garden path all the way to an observatory at a million words. There’s no streak to break and nothing to lose. He just keeps going, like you.
