Kitsmith / Creator Tools / Notchie
A teleprompter that hides in the notch — scrolls automatically as you speak, and stays out of screen shares in supported apps.
Our take
The cleverest single-purpose use of the notch so far: read a script on camera while appearing to hold eye contact. Voice-activated auto-scroll is confirmed as its current headline feature via its live Setapp listing — it isn’t mentioned in its Mac App Store description, which is likely just stale rather than the feature being MAS-exclusive-minus-this, since the two channels are on visibly different build numbers (see requirements). A recent Setapp review calls it a “simple voice activator” that can run ahead at the slightest sound rather than tracking speech precisely, so it’s a neat trick more than a fully polished one. Screen-share invisibility is “in supported apps” per its own wording, not a blanket guarantee across every conferencing tool.

- 2.1 on the Mac App Store; Setapp lists 3.2 for its own build — the two channels are visibly out of sync as of this check.
- Requires
- macOS 14.6 or newer per its Mac App Store listing; Setapp separately lists macOS 14.0 or later for its own build; the developer’s own site states “macOS 14+ • Apple Silicon & Intel” for the direct build and its FAQ confirms Intel compatibility explicitly.

Who made this
Wrocław, Poland
Solo developer of Notchie, who explains on the app’s own Product Hunt launch post that he built it after "spending 3 hours trying to record a 20-minute webinar" and re-taking it over and over — his fix scrolls a script inside the notch, synced to his voice, and stays hidden from screen shares. "That webinar? One take."
What it does
Voice-activated auto-scroll
Listens as you speak and scrolls to match your pace, per its Setapp listing — its headline feature, though a recent review describes it as a blunt “voice activator” rather than finely tuned.
Camera-adjacent placement
Sits right where the camera is, in the notch, so reading looks like natural eye contact.
Hover to pause
Pause by hovering over the notch area — no separate hotkey to remember.
Script library
Drag-and-drop reordering and queueing across multiple scripts, with a choice of stop, loop, or auto-play-next when one ends.
The deal
- $29.99 one-time purchase on the Mac App Store
- Also included in a Setapp membership (from $14.99/mo for hundreds of apps, 7-day free trial) rather than sold separately there
- Also purchasable directly from the developer at notchie.app for the same $29.99 via Stripe checkout, with a 30-day money-back guarantee — the developer’s own FAQ says direct and Mac App Store are the same full version, buying direct just supports the developer more directly
Privacy: Runs entirely locally with no accounts, tracking, or data collection, per the developer’s Mac App Store description.
