Best teleprompter for Windows — overlay built right.
HeyNotch on Windows floats as a transparent notch-style bar at the top of your primary display.
Most teleprompter software for Windows is either an Electron port of a Mac app or a 2010-era utility with a UI that hasn't been touched in years.
HeyNotch is built natively in Tauri, so the .msi is small, the launch is fast, and the always-on-top behaviour actually works correctly across multiple monitors.
On Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11, the HeyNotch pill floats as a transparent always-on-top bar at the top of your primary display — exactly above your built-in or external webcam. The pill morphs through the same idle / countdown / playing / branch states as the macOS notch, with the same spring physics, so the experience is identical regardless of OS.
Where most Windows teleprompter apps fall short is multi-monitor support. HeyNotch lets you target a specific display in Notch → General → Display target, and respects the native always-on-top flag so the pill stays above OBS, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Slack screen-share, and any other window stack you're juggling.
