We recently updated the iOS Power Prompter remote app to version 2019.5. This updated fixes an issue that would lead to a broken speed slider when used with Power Prompter 2019.5.

Please update both Power Prompter and the Remote app to the newest version to minimize any incompatibilities!

We just released the 2019.5 update of Power Prompter. This is the 5th update this year (so the 5 has nothing to do with the month May – just a coincidence).

This update adds some smaller features. Namely:

• Min and max scroll speed settings that let you set the lower and upper bounds of allowable scroll speeds.
• Scroll speed units. Finally you don’t have to guess anymore. Power Prompter now displays speed in Lines/Sec, Lines/Min, Words/Sec or Words/Min. You can change the unit in the General preference pane or by clicking the “Scroll Speed” label in the Script Inspector.
• Words Per Line now has a number attached to it. This number is the average number of words per line in the script. Now you can adjust the words per line setting to a concrete number and be sure the script will be rendered in a way that you (or your talent) find preferable.
• Holding down the w or s key in the teleprompter window will now adjust the scroll speed. No need to repeatedly press and release those keys.
• We also fixed an embarrassing typo. (Which was very obvious – which makes it extra embarrassing).

The update is available now from our website. Mac App Store customers will have to wait 2 or 3 days till the app is through Apple’s review

We recently released version 3.0.1 of Power Prompter. This is a small maintenance update which brings the following changes:

Improvements:

• New setting that determines how many lines to scroll with one key press in manual scroll mode.
• Scroll line up/down shortcuts are now usable from the editor window.
• Power Prompter can now react to key presses even when it is not the active application.
• New default teleprompter key bindings: W and S to increase/decrease scrolling speed.
• Preferences panel now features help buttons.
• New keyboard shortcut cheat sheet window (help -> keyboard shortcuts).
• Updated and improved documentation.

Bug fixes:

• Shortcut labels in teleprompter are now displayed correctly.

The update is available now form the Mac App Store or directly from our website.

We’re happy to announce the latest update to Power Prompter. Version 3.0 is here and brings some changes like editing during prompting, intelligent copy & paste, improved screens inspector and support for PDF files.

The update is available now from our website and from the Mac App Store. To get the update simply go to the “Updates” tab of the Mac App Store – or if you’re using our direct download version click the “Check for Updates…” item in the “Power Prompter” menu.

Oh and if you’re wondering if there’s discounted upgrade pricing: No there isn’t. Because the update is free for all Power Prompter users 🙂

FYI Power Prompter now requires at least macOS High Sierra (10.13) to run. This is 98% of our user base. We of course continue to support older versions for users whose Macs run an earlier version of macOS.

We just released version 2.0 of the iOS Power Prompter Remote app. This update fixes “connection timeout” issues that might come up on iOS 12 when using Bluetooth.

We also took the opportunity to modernize the backend of the app so it will play better with modern iOS versions.

As the timeout bug affected only iOS 12 devices we decided to make this update iOS 12 only.

Today we released version 2.5.4 of Power Prompter. This update mostly makes the app play well with Mojave’s new dark mode. We now use native dark controls when running on Mojave and keep using our custom dark mode code when running on a macOS prior to Mojave. So it should all “just work” and look good. Please let us know if you find any strange glitches related to dark mode.

We also added three new indicator colors: Orange, purple and blue. We’ll be adding a color picker soon to this option so you will be able to customize this setting completely to your wishes.

In the background we enabled the new “hardened runtime” which hardens the app against changes by malware. At the same time we now let Apple “notarize” the app bundle before release. This means that if something should go wrong Apple will be able to remotely disable a specific build of Power Prompter. (We also have un-notarized versions available if you should need one. Just let us know.)

The update is live for our direct download users. Mac App Store customers will, as usual, have to wait a little longer till the review process is done and Apple lets the new update into the app store.

We’re happy to announce that the latest version of Power Prompter (2.5.2) is fully compatible with Apple’s latest macOS release. We’ll be releasing a small update in the next few days, which will make the Power Prompter “dark ui” (which we had since 1.0) feel more native on Mojave. Stay tuned and have fun with macOS Mojave!
