Podcast teleprompter — outline above the lens.
Solo monologues, guest interviews, intros, outros. Read with HeyNotch eye contact, not paper notes.
The hardest part of solo podcasting isn't recording — it's not losing your place. The hardest part of guest podcasting isn't asking questions — it's listening while still knowing what to ask next.
HeyNotch puts your outline above your camera so you can see it without looking away from your guest. Branches let you skip ahead when the conversation jumps topic. Stage directions remind you to pause for emphasis.

Long-form outlines with section headings, stage directions, and pause cues.
Guest interviews
Pre-written intros, outros, and follow-up branches for when they say something interesting.

# Episode 47 · Cold Open
Welcome back to {{podcast_name}}.
<!-- speed:slow -->
Today's guest spent eight years on the
most boring company you'll ever hear about.
<!-- speed:normal -->
And built it into a $100M business.
*Beat. Lean into the mic.*
## [Tease story]
But first — a story about a missed flight.
## [Roll guest intro]
Let me introduce my friend, {{guest_name}}.Common questions
Will my guest see the notch?
No. The notch is on your screen only. Your guest sees you on camera, eyes forward.
Can I edit while recording?
Adjust speed, jump back/forward, or skip lines with the keyboard. The notch reacts in real-time.
Works with Riverside / SquadCast / Zencastr?
Yes. HeyNotch is platform-agnostic. The notch sits above your camera regardless of recording tool.
