Never lose
your line.
Podium Notes holds a steady focus band on the screen while your script scrolls beneath it. Your place stays put, your eyes stay up, and the room stays with you.
For iPhone & iPad · Built for talks, toasts, and presentations.
Good evening, everyone — and thank you for being here tonight.
[ pause · look up · smile ]
I want to start with something my grandfather used to say whenever the room got quiet.
He'd lean in, lower his voice, and tell us that the best speakers aren't the ones who never lose their place —
they're the ones who always know how to find it again.
[ slow down here ]
So tonight I'm not going to pretend I have every word memorized.
I'm just going to keep my eyes up, trust my notes, and talk to you like the friends you are.

The idea
A band that holds your place.
Most teleprompters ask you to chase a moving line. Podium Notes flips it: one band stays fixed, and the words come to it.
The band stays put
A single highlighted band sits in the same spot on screen, every time you glance down.
Your script scrolls under it
Move through your notes at your own pace with a thumb. The band never drifts.
Eyes up, not down
Because your place is always in the same place, you look up at the room — not down at a wall of text.
Everything around the band
Quietly capable.
The band does the heavy lifting. The rest of the app stays out of your way until you need it.
Bring words from anywhere
Type, paste, import a .txt or .md file, or share a note straight from Apple Notes into the app.
Follows your voice
Turn on voice tracking and the script scrolls as you speak — the band keeps pace with you, hands-free. On-device, private.
Know your timing
Every note shows how long it runs at your speaking pace. Not sure of your pace? Read a few passages aloud and the app measures it for you.
Present PDFs too
Open a PDF and the focus band rides right over it — slides, scripts, and handouts, presented the same way.
Dressed for the room
Light, Dark, Sepia, and Ice themes, with adjustable font, plus band color, height, and position.
Right where you left off
Step away mid-talk and come back — your scroll position is remembered, down to the line.
A quick spell check
Step through flagged words one at a time and tap to fix — or teach it the names and terms you use often, so it stops asking.
iPhone and iPad
Portrait or landscape, sized for the phone in your hand or the tablet on the stand.
