0.1.1

pmptr v0.1.1

A minimal virtual teleprompter that lives as a transparent, always-on-top, click-through overlay on your screen.

pmptr is a tiny Electron app for presenters, streamers, and anyone who needs to read a script while keeping their hands free. Paste your text into the control panel, open the floating prompter, and it floats over your screen, browser, or video call while you keep working underneath it.

Install

The easiest way to get pmptr is through npm (requires Node.js 20+):

npm install -g pmptr
pmptr

Then click Open floating prompter in the control window.

Prefer a native installer? See the Downloads section below.

Features

• 🪟 Transparent, always-on-top overlay - a frameless floating window that stays above everything on your screen.
• 🔒 True OS-level click-through - lock the prompter and clicks/wheel events fall straight through to whatever app is behind it. Keep using your mouse while the script keeps scrolling.
• 🎛️ Control panel - paste your script and tune speed, font size, colors, opacity, mirror mode, and window dimensions.
• ⚡ Live updates - every edit in the control panel applies to the prompter instantly, no restart needed.
• 💾 Persistent settings - your preferences are saved to disk in your Electron user-data folder.
• ⌨️ Keyboard shortcuts - play/pause, reset, speed, and click-through toggle without leaving the prompter window.

Key	Action
Space	Play / pause
R	Reset scroll to the top
↑ / ↓	Speed ± 5 px/s
L	Toggle click-through (lock / unlock)
Esc	Close the prompter

What's New in v0.1.1

• Published pmptr to npm - install the app globally with npm install -g pmptr.
• fix: moved electron to peerDependencies so the npm package is compatible with electron-builder and installs cleanly alongside a local Electron install.

This is the first release shipped to the npm registry; the v0.1.0 line was only available as platform installers.
