Glance
Glance is a Mac app that helps speakers keep eye contact by showing a teleprompter-style script overlay beside the camera during calls and presentations.
What is Glance?
Glance is a desktop teleprompter app for macOS built for live video calls, interviews, demos, and presentations. It helps you read notes or a script while keeping your eyes near the camera, so your delivery looks more natural on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and similar meeting apps. The app places your text in an always-on-top overlay that stays visible above other windows, making it useful for remote work, online teaching, sales calls, and recorded walkthroughs. It is designed for people who speak on camera regularly and want a simpler alternative to using a second screen or printed notes. Glance is distributed directly by Chamburr rather than through the Mac App Store.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Glance is a legitimate teleprompter utility for macOS. It normally needs screen placement and window overlay behavior to stay visible during calls, which is expected for this kind of tool. Keep it if you use on-camera presentations or meetings. If you no longer need it, removing the app should mainly affect your teleprompter workflow rather than the rest of your Mac.
Recommendation: Keep Glance if you regularly present, teach, interview, or record on your Mac and want script prompts near the camera. If you do not use teleprompter-style overlays, you can remove it without affecting unrelated apps.
