One-time purchase. Universal with the iOS app the day iOS ships. Free minor updates and bug fixes forever; major versions may be paid upgrades.
GlassCue is shipping out of pixeLantern's small-studio launch process. Beta builds go out individually; v1.0 hits the Mac App Store after a short private testing window. Drop a note and we'll get you on the list.
A piece of glass that doesn't get in the way.
- A non-activating, borderless NSPanel that floats above every app — without ever stealing focus from your recording app.
- Three scroll modes: Fixed WPM (frame-synced via CADisplayLink), Speech Sync (on-device SFSpeechRecognizer with fuzzy match), Manual.
- 19 configurable global hotkeys + bare-key shortcuts when the pane is focused. Conflict-aware rebind UI.
- Take recovery with retake markers, good takes, jump-to-last-retake, and CSV/JSON export for Final Cut and Premiere.
- Profile system with live preview — every typography and layout setting, scoped to a named profile.
- Markdown / .txt / .rtf import, automatic section detection, ⌘⇧V paste-as-new-script from any app.
- No accounts. No telemetry. No third-party dependencies. Native Swift 6 on Apple Silicon.
The pane never steals focus.
It's a borderless, non-activating NSPanel — AppKit, not SwiftUI window — floating above every space. Your recording app stays foreground. Your typing keeps going to the app you were just in. The teleprompter is just… there.
Every action is a hotkey.
Play, pause, speed, jump-back, retake marks, paste-as-script — every CueAction is reachable from a configurable global shortcut. The keyboard is the entire control surface; the menu bar is the optional one.
Designed to be sat with.
Calm Mode, focus-region dimming, frame-synced scrolling via CADisplayLink, undo/redo on your position. The prompter shouldn't add nerves to the take — it should subtract them.
Speak with confidence. Every time.
No accounts. No telemetry. No third-party dependencies. Your scripts stay on your Mac.
