Recito is a native iOS teleprompter that scrolls your script over the live camera while you record — so you look straight into the lens, not down at your notes.
Reading to camera usually looks like reading. Recito fixes the one thing that gives it away: the script sits high, right under the lens, on a legible scrim, and scrolls smoothly at your pace — so your eyes stay on the camera. Record a talking-head video like the stock Camera app, with the words flowing where you need them. No account, no cloud, no subscription. Everything stays on your phone.
Free to write, prompt, and record — one small one-time unlock for the polish.
Recito (reh‑CHEE‑toh) is Latin for I read aloud, I recite — the same root as recital and recitation. It is exactly what the app is for: reading your words aloud, naturally, to a camera.
A teleprompter shouldn't feel bolted on. Recito is a fast, native iOS app that feels like Apple's Camera, with your script flowing right where your eyes already are. Write it, read it, keep the take — and own the app once, with no renewal emails and nothing leaving your device.
The script scrolls high, right under the camera, on a frosted scrim that stays legible over any background — so reading reads as eye contact.
Adjust font size and scroll speed with a slider, preview the scroll before you record, or grab the text with your finger to scrub mid-take. Mirror mode supports beam-splitter rigs.
Shoot several takes, play them back, and see your speaking pace in words-per-minute — relaxed, great, or a touch fast — then keep the best one.
Records straight to Photos at 1080p, ready for Reels, Shorts, or TikTok — free saves carry a small watermark. No account, no cloud, no analytics — the privacy label reads "Data Not Collected."
Fluff a line and you don't start over. Pausing freezes the prompter on the word you stopped at, so you carry on from exactly there — and you still get one video. Delete just the part you fluffed and the script rewinds with it.
The app itself is translated into French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, alongside English — not a machine-translated listing with an English app behind it.
One-time payment, no subscription. Writing scripts, the teleprompter, and recording are free forever. The unlock is for the polish — and the entire reason Recito exists is to undercut the resented monthly teleprompter apps.
Everything you need to read and record.
Unlock once. No subscription. Ever.
Pay once. Not every month. The free tier is fully usable — the watermark and the 750-character limit are the only nudges, and one tap removes them for good.
Recito does not collect any data. There are no analytics SDKs, no crash reporters that phone home, and no network code outside StoreKit (which Apple handles for the one-time purchase). Your scripts and recordings live only on your device. See the privacy policy for specifics.
