Your scripts. Always safe.

By Sam Rogers, Snap Synapse · Published · MIT

A free tool for Elgato Prompter creators. Import any text file, organize your library, and back up everything — no tech skills required.

Camera Hub gives you no way to import scripts, rename them, or back them up. One reinstall and your library is gone. PrompterKit fixes all of that with a web interface that runs right in your browser.

Everything Camera Hub is missing

Elgato Prompter is great hardware. Camera Hub is not great software for managing a script library. PrompterKit wraps it with the tools every creator needs.

Import any text file

Drop a .txt or Markdown file onto the page. PrompterKit converts each line into a chapter and registers it with Camera Hub instantly — no copy-paste required.

Back up your library

One click archives every script to a zip file. Restore the whole thing in seconds after a Camera Hub update, a reinstall, or a move to a new computer.

No Terminal needed

The web interface opens automatically in your browser. See all your scripts, rename them, delete old drafts, and export any episode as a plain text file.

Free and open source

I built PrompterKit because I needed it. After losing a library of scripts to a Camera Hub reinstall with no recovery path, I wrote the tool I wished existed. Now it's free for every creator who runs into the same wall.
