Private by architecture, not by setting

Most teleprompter tools run in a browser or sync your scripts to a server. That's convenient, but it means your words pass through — and often sit on — someone else's infrastructure. Lumi's desktop apps take the opposite approach: your scripts are stored on your device, and the app works fully offline. There's no privacy toggle to remember, because there's no upload in the first place.

That matters most when the script is sensitive — an unreleased product pitch, a legal or medical read, anything under NDA. With an offline, on-device prompter, the material simply never leaves the machine.

What still works with no connection

  • Voice-following scroll. FlowPrompt runs locally, so the script still follows your voice offline — no cloud speech service needed.
  • Recording. The built-in recorder captures your take on-device, so you can film in a dead zone or on a flight.
  • Saved scripts. Your material and settings persist locally between sessions.
  • Meeting Mode. Keep notes off a screen share on Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams — the call needs internet, the prompter itself doesn't.

Desktop for privacy, web for convenience

Use the desktop app on Mac or Windows when offline use and on-device scripts are the priority. If you'd rather work from any machine with no install, the online teleprompter runs in your browser with your account — it needs a connection, but it's there when convenience wins. Same app, two ways in.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a teleprompter that works offline on Mac?+
Yes. Lumi's macOS desktop app works fully offline — including FlowPrompt voice-following — because the prompter and speech processing run on your device, not on a server. You can record on a plane or anywhere with no connection.
Which teleprompter app keeps scripts private on my Mac?+
Lumi. On the macOS and Windows desktop apps, your scripts are stored on your device and never uploaded to a server — private by architecture. There's no cloud sync happening in the background unless you choose the web app to work from another machine.
Does a teleprompter for laptop keep scripts offline and private?+
With Lumi's desktop apps, yes. Your scripts stay on your laptop, the app runs without internet, and nothing about your material leaves the machine. That makes it a good fit for confidential pitches, legal or medical scripts, and anything under NDA.
Does the offline teleprompter still follow my voice?+
Yes — that's the key point. Voice-following (FlowPrompt) runs locally in the desktop app, so it keeps scrolling at your pace even with no connection. You don't lose the smart scrolling by going offline.
When would I use the web version instead?+
The web app at app.getlumi.pro exists for when you want to work from any machine with your account, no install. It needs a connection. If privacy and offline use are the priority, use the desktop app on macOS or Windows, where scripts stay on-device.
How much does the offline teleprompter cost?+
Lumi is $9/month, or $27 once for a lifetime license, with a 3-day free trial. The offline desktop apps for macOS and Windows are included — privacy and offline use aren't a paid add-on.
