Why professionals choose Avocado over Teleprompter Pro

Super Lightweight & Native (SwiftUI)

Avocado is written entirely in SwiftUI. At just around 4 MB, it's incredibly fast, lightweight, and looks perfectly at home on macOS without draining your battery.

100% On-Device & Private

Everything stays precisely on your device. Avocado has no sneaky analytics, and all voice-processing happens locally so your scripts never leave your Mac.

Clever Focus Guide

Never lose your place again. Avocado features a beautifully subtle focus guide that dims already-read text so you always know exactly where you are in the script.

Complete Screen-Share Invisibility

Unlike normal windows, Avocado is completely invisible during Zoom, Google Meet, or MSTeams screen shares, plus it hides itself from macOS screenshots.

PowerPoint Notes Import

Drop a .pptx file directly into Avocado to instantly extract your presenter notes as a script, with each slide automatically marked for quick sidebar navigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Avocado and Teleprompter Pro for Mac?
The core difference is display placement and privacy. Avocado renders in the MacBook notch above the camera and is excluded from video capture at the OS level — completely invisible on screen shares. Teleprompter Pro renders as a standard window, which is visible to screen-sharing participants and requires manual positioning to stay out of the camera frame.
Is Avocado or Teleprompter Pro better for Zoom and video calls?
Avocado is purpose-built for video calls — it is invisible to Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet through macOS-level exclusion. Teleprompter Pro displays as a window that Zoom can capture, requiring you to position it carefully outside the camera frame, which typically means a second monitor rather than in your eyeline.
Does Teleprompter Pro work in the MacBook notch?
No — Teleprompter Pro is a conventional window-based application and doesn't use the notch. This means it cannot be placed directly above the MacBook camera without occupying main display space, and it cannot be excluded from screen sharing the way Avocado can.
What makes Avocado different from Teleprompter Pro beyond the notch?
Avocado processes everything on-device — no cloud, no account, no data leaves your Mac. It's also lighter (native SwiftUI vs Electron), integrates with Apple Intelligence for AI Smart Cues, and includes Director Mode for remote control from any device on your Wi-Fi.
