What it is

pmptr is a tiny desktop app that turns any script into a scrolling overlay. Transparent, frameless, always on top. When you lock it, your mouse clicks fall straight through to whatever is behind. Keep your eyes on the camera and your hands on your work.

Floating prompter

A separate transparent, frameless, always-on-top window that scrolls your script at the speed you choose.

True click-through

OS-level mouse-event ignoring means clicks pass through to the app underneath. The prompter stays visible; your work stays clickable.

Control panel

Paste your script and tune speed, size, colors, opacity, mirror, and window dimensions from one tidy window.

Live updates

Edits in the control window are reflected in the prompter instantly. No reload, no restart.

Keyboard shortcuts

Play, pause, reset, change speed, and toggle click-through without ever leaving your keyboard.

Settings persistence

Your preferences are saved to disk in your Electron user-data folder and restored on the next launch.

Install

The fastest way to try pmptr is via npm. Requires Node.js 20+.
