See how it works

Promptly reads your script; it doesn’t record video. Read on your iPhone or iPad while a separate camera or second phone records your take.

Made for your next great take.

From script to take

Your script. Your camera. Your pace.

Use Promptly as your reader alongside the camera you film with.

Bring a script in.

Share a note or a text selection into Promptly, or write one in the editor.

Find your pace.

Open Prompt on your iPhone or iPad. Choose Voice Follow, Controller, or timed scrolling, and set the text size for a comfortable read.

Record your take.

Position your reader near the lens of a separate camera or second phone. Start recording on that camera, then read from Promptly.

Stay in the moment

You bring the story.
We’ll keep your place.

From the first word to the final take, a quieter way to stay on script.

01 Voice Follow

It keeps up with how you speak.

Voice Follow listens on this device and moves the script as you speak — then waits when you pause. It detects each script’s language automatically, so English, German, French, Spanish, and many more can sit side by side.

  • Listening starts when you open prompting in Voice Follow.
  • Nothing is uploaded or stored. Speech stays on this device.
  • Pause releases the microphone; Play listens again from the current word.

Opt-in. Needs the microphone. First use may download a language model. If Voice Follow is unavailable, use timed scrolling or Controller mode. Get help with Voice Follow.

02 External Display

Show it on a TV or monitor.

Connect a TV, projector, or monitor over AirPlay or a cable. The connected display shows only the script — large, dark, and uncluttered — while your phone stays the control surface.

  • Size the text to the screen.
  • Mirror or Flip for beam-splitter glass.
  • Reading Guide chevrons on the reading line. Blank the display without stopping.

Script-only output needs iOS 27. On iOS 26 a connected display mirrors the phone. Connect from Control Center or a cable; Promptly cannot start mirroring for you.

A bigger stage for your words.

03 Controller mode

Control it from off-camera.

Pair a game controller, keyboard, Bluetooth remote, clicker, or media remote and drive the script from your rig. Play, pause, restart, and change speed without reaching for the phone — including with the volume buttons.

  • Six actions you can reassign in Settings.
  • Left stick scrolls on a game controller.
  • Hold to scroll; a tap moves one line.

Remotes move the script in Controller scroll mode. Media remotes wait while Voice Follow is listening. Volume buttons still can.

Scripts

Write, import, don’t panic.

Create, search, and sort scripts. Undo and redo as you write. Share a note or a text selection into Promptly, or Save to Promptly from the Action menu.

  • Deleted scripts stay in the Bin for 30 days.
  • Work saves as you go.
  • Sort by recently updated or alphabetical order.

Text only. Script bodies can grow up to 200,000 characters.

Promptly scripts list

Private by default

No Promptly account.

Your scripts stay available offline and sync through your private iCloud when you’re signed in. Promptly has no separate account. Speech stays on this device.

  • Settings, audio, and transcripts are not synced.
  • No tracking. No third-party analytics.

Editing the same script on two devices at once can overwrite text — duplicate first. Read the privacy page.

Built for the take

Dark, so the key light wins.

The dark cinematic interface keeps your face lit by your key light, not a blinding white screen. Large controls. Change speed and text size mid-take.

  • Countdown, highlight the word you’re on, dim what you’ve already said.
  • Read in portrait or landscape to suit your filming setup.
  • The screen stays on while you prompt.
