Hi, I'm Jakub

I'm terrible at recording videos; I always forget what I want to say. There are prompter apps for iPhone and iPad, but the setup and copy‑pasting felt way too tedious. So I built a native Mac solution that sits right in the notch to help you keep eye contact with the camera. It's simple, it works well, and I'd love for you to try it, share feedback, or even contribute to the code.

Thanks!
