Scroll for macOS
Scroll watches what's on your screen and explains it out loud — summarizing when you skim, going deep when you slow down, answering the moment you ask. Read less, understand more.
Live narration · keeping pace with you
This is what Scroll does. As your eyes move down a page, a voice keeps pace — summarizing when you fling, explaining when you settle, and going quiet the instant you move on. Stale narration is worse than silence, so it never falls behind.
Tap Right ⌥ from any app. Scroll lives quietly in your menu bar until you call it.
Scroll extracts the text under your eyes on-device — from the accessibility tree, or OCR when an app exposes nothing.
A realtime voice narrates at the altitude you've earned: headlines at speed, full detail when you dwell.
Scroll reads your hand, not just your screen. The speed of your scrolling decides how much it says.
You stopped. Scroll reads this passage closely — full sentences, real depth.
A measured walk through the content, paragraph by paragraph, just ahead of your eyes.
Headlines and gist only. The narrator compresses to match your speed.
Scrolled back and dwelled? That means "say that again." It does.
The HUD chips are not decoration. They control the narrator persona, privacy boundary, and realtime model without sending you hunting through settings.
Pick the voice of the explanation: a quick brief for skimming, a tutor for learning, a reviewer for code, or a professional operator for status, blockers, owners, and next steps.
Cloud mode uses OpenAI Realtime with your own OpenAI API key, billed by OpenAI to your account. Local-only mode needs no key, sends nothing to OpenAI, and uses Apple's on-device model with system speech.
Standard runs on gpt-realtime-2 for the best narration. Economy uses gpt-realtime-mini to bring your OpenAI spoken-minute cost down by roughly three times.
The gear opens the full settings window for your OpenAI key, privacy exclusions, screenshot context, redaction, voices, document memory, and launch behavior.
A screen reader speaks every word. Scroll reads the page, works out what matters, and tells you that — then answers your questions, reads charts, and remembers what you've seen.
Hold Right ⌘ and just talk — "wait, what does that clause actually commit us to?" Scroll answers about what's on screen, out loud, in the same voice. No window, no prompt box, no copy-paste.
Scroll away mid-sentence and narration cuts off at the exact word you last heard. The narrator never talks over where you've already gone.
Safari, Chrome, Mail, Notes, PDFs, Electron apps. Vision OCR takes over seamlessly when an app exposes no text — even mid-session.
When text can't carry the meaning — graphs, dashboards, figures — Scroll looks at the actual pixels and tells you the takeaway, not the axis labels.
Every passage is fingerprinted, so re-scrolling stays silent — and re-opening yesterday's document resumes where you left off instead of starting over.
Flip one switch and everything runs on-device — Apple's foundation models for comprehension, system speech for the voice. Nothing leaves your Mac. Prefer the cloud? Choose Standard quality or an Economy tier at a third of the cost.
Cloud narration uses your own OpenAI API key — you pay OpenAI directly for usage. Scroll does not include, proxy, resell, or mark up cloud usage. Local-only mode needs no key and no OpenAI account.
