PrimaPrompter

Free. No account. No ads. Your footage never leaves your phone.

PrimaPrompter is a teleprompter and camera in one. Your script scrolls in a reading band pinned high, right under the lens, so your eyes stay on camera instead of drifting down to read. It records straight to your device — no sign-in, no cloud, no tracking, no ads, no subscriptions, nothing to unlock.

We built it as the honest answer to teleprompter apps that greet you with a paywall. PrimaPrompter is free, all of it, and everything happens on your phone.

Teleprompter that keeps your eyes on the lens • A fixed reading line sits high near the front lens; your words flow through it, so you stay looking at the camera. Just placement — no gaze tricks. • Drag the reading line to match your exact lens position, and resize the band to taste. • Turn your phone sideways and the script moves into a column right beside the lens, on whichever side it is, with the controls on the far edge. • Set speed in words per minute, nudge it live mid-take, and PrimaPrompter remembers the speed per script. • Tap the script to pause or resume; drag to scrub to any line. • Optional 3-second or 10-second countdown that arms recording and scrolling together. • Tune text size, line height, band opacity, and a high-contrast mode; choose the System typeface or Lexend. • Mirror-text mode for beam-splitter rigs. • Cue tags like [pause] and [look left] show while you read and never count toward your time estimate. • The screen stays awake while you record.

A real camera, gated to what your device can actually do • Front or back camera, in portrait (9:16) or landscape (16:9). • Record up to 4K where your device supports it, at 24/30/60 fps on supported formats. • H.264 or HEVC, plus video HDR where the format allows. • Video stabilization — standard and cinematic — where your device supports it. • Pinch to zoom, tap to focus, a brightness (exposure) slider, a rule-of-thirds grid, and a rear-lens torch. • Mirror toggle to save the video the way you see yourself in preview. • The Capture panel only ever offers the resolutions, frame rates, and codecs your specific device reports as supported — no dead options.

Takes and light, honest editing • Every take is saved on your device and grouped by script. • Review a take, then keep, retake, or discard it, and mark your keepers. • Fast lossless trim, on-device: a passthrough cut with no re-encode and no quality loss (the cut start snaps to the nearest keyframe). Trimming writes a new clip and always keeps your original. • Save any take to your Photos library. • See each take's file size and your remaining free space.

Scripts, your way • Write scripts in the app, import a .txt file, or paste from the clipboard. • Live word count and an estimated read time as you type.

Privacy is the product • No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no cloud. • Diagnostics are off by default and opt-in — and even then the log stays on your phone until you choose to share it. • Your footage never leaves your phone unless you save or share it yourself.

Built with accessibility from day one: VoiceOver labels throughout, adjustable prompter and trim controls, large touch targets, and respect for Reduce Motion.
