Can NotchStar hold several teleprompter scripts

No. The NotchStar teleprompter keeps one script at a time. There is no list of scripts, no titles and no folders. When you paste a new script over the old one, the old one is gone, so keep a copy of anything you want to use again.

What this means in practice

  • The Teleprompter tab always shows the same, single script.
  • Pasting a new one replaces it. Press the pencil, select all with Command A, and paste.
  • There is no history to go back to, apart from Command Z while you are still in the edit box.

How to keep several scripts

  1. Keep each script in a file or notes app you already use, such as Notes, a text file or a document.
  2. Before a session, open the one you want, select all, and copy.
  3. In NotchStar, press the pencil, select all, paste and press the check mark.

NotchStar also has a Quick Notes tool, but it does not feed the teleprompter. Treat it as a separate place to jot things down. See the Quick Notes page.

If you switch between scripts a lot

The copy and paste routine takes a few seconds, and it is the real cost of the one script design. If you read many scripts a day, a teleprompter app with a script library suits you better. The notch teleprompter comparison lists other options.

Limits

One script, plain text, stored on your Mac. Read where it is stored and the Teleprompter feature page.

NotchStar does not hide its teleprompter from screen sharing or recording. It is a normal window area, so share a window or check a test first.
Why the NotchStar teleprompter text fades at the edges
The NotchStar teleprompter fades text at the top and bottom of its window so the line you are reading stays the clearest. It cannot be turned off.
Using the NotchStar teleprompter on a Mac without a notch
