Why professionals choose Avocado over CuePrompter

Invisible on Screen Shares & OBS

CuePrompter runs in a browser — if you share your screen, participants can see it. Avocado is excluded from all screen capture at the macOS system level, so it never appears in Zoom, Meet, Teams, or OBS regardless of what you share.

Voice-Activated Scrolling

CuePrompter uses a fixed scroll speed you set in advance. Avocado listens to your voice and moves the script at exactly your speaking pace — pause for a question and it waits, speed up and it follows.

Sits in the MacBook Notch

CuePrompter is a browser tab that floats wherever you put it. Avocado docks into your MacBook's notch, directly above the camera lens, so your eyes land on the lens while you read rather than drifting off to the side.

Works Offline, Fully Private

CuePrompter is a web service — it requires a browser and internet connection and your script passes through a web page. Avocado is a native Mac app that processes everything on your device with no data sent anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CuePrompter free?
Yes, CuePrompter is a free browser-based teleprompter. However it runs inside a browser tab, requires an internet connection, uses fixed-speed scrolling, and is visible to anyone you share your screen with. Avocado has a free tier as well, and adds native Mac integration, voice-activated scrolling, and screen-share invisibility.
Does CuePrompter work on Mac?
CuePrompter runs in any desktop browser, including Safari and Chrome on Mac. It is not a native Mac app and does not integrate with macOS features like the camera notch, WindowServer capture exclusion, or Apple's on-device speech recognition. Avocado is built natively in SwiftUI and uses those APIs directly.
What is the best free alternative to CuePrompter for Mac?
Avocado is the best alternative. It has a free tier with no sign-up required, runs natively on macOS, docks in the MacBook notch above the camera, and is completely invisible on screen shares — none of which CuePrompter supports. The Pro upgrade adds unlimited voice scrolling and AI Smart Cues for $19.99 once.
Can CuePrompter be seen on Zoom or Google Meet?
Yes — because CuePrompter runs in a browser tab, it appears in your screen share like any other window. Avocado is excluded from Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams screen capture at the macOS system level, so participants never see it regardless of your share settings.
