## What is Bitbook?

Your whole act in one notebook. Bitbook is where stand-up comedians write jokes, build set lists, run the show from the stage, and turn the tape into clips. No account to create, and it runs on every Apple device.

EVERY BIT, IN ORDER
Capture material the moment it hits, add labels, and find any line again with search. Keep versions of a bit, and alternates for a punchline or a tag, each with its own track record. On iPad, write or draw alongside a bit with Apple Pencil.

TURN SETS INTO CLIPS
Select the lines in the transcript and Create Clip cuts the video: vertical, square, or 4:5. Add captions in a dozen styles, bleep a word, zoom in on the lines you choose, cut filler words, and stay in frame with Follow Subject. Join clips from different shows into one video.

BUILD YOUR SETS
Drag bits into set lists, reorder them as the act evolves, and see the running time at a glance. Your set lists follow you to iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, and print when you want paper.

PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE
Run a timed practice on a bit or a whole set, with a lap time for every bit and notes stamped as you go. Minimize it mid-run, use Apple Watch as the remote, and record yourself to play it back.

WATCH THE CLOCK, FULLSCREEN
Live Show keeps elapsed and remaining time in front of you on stage, cues you with haptics as your time runs out, and keeps your set list under the timer. One tap records the show in audio or video, or press Camera Control to start filming. Or run it from Apple Watch: timer, cues, set list, and its own recording.

KNOW WHICH BITS KEEP LANDING
Log every show with its venue, set list, and notes, see them all on a calendar, and find every room you've played on a map. Rate each bit from one to five stars and watch its track record build across every show.

HEAR IT BACK
Recordings become searchable text, transcribed on your device. Find Laughs marks the laughs so you can jump straight to them, and Enhance Voice lifts your voice out of a noisy room while keeping the laughs.

GET A SECOND OPINION
Share a bit, a set list, or a recording with people you choose, and their comments come back inside the app. Or pitch a bit to another comic: a kept bit lands in their library credited to you.

START A BIT FROM ANYWHERE
Start a bit from Siri, Shortcuts, a widget, Control Center, or the Lock Screen, and what you said is already text. Import a text file, a paste from Notes, or photos of notebook pages, and Bitbook cuts it into bits for you to review.

YOUR MATERIAL STAYS YOURS
No accounts, no analytics, no trackers, and no Bitbook server. Your material lives on your device and syncs only through your own iCloud, and everything the app does with it runs on your device, using Apple's frameworks. Your whole library exports as one .bitbook archive and imports straight back, so it can always leave with you.

EVERYWHERE YOU PERFORM
A native app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple TV, made for iPhone Duo too, with widgets, App Lock, CarPlay for listening back on the drive home, and iCloud sync across all of them. Make it yours with themes, accent colors, fonts, and alternate app icons.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-26

Bitbook 1.2.1 holds on to every word.

A deleted version now waits in Recently Deleted for 30 days. A show on a bit's Activity keeps the bit as it read that night, to compare with the current version or save as a version of its own. And when two devices change the same version before they sync, both sets of words are kept.

Also new:
• Filter bits by label, length, and rating, and search matches every word you type, in any order.
• Play a bit's recorded shows and practices right from its Activity.
• Rename a bit's recordings, and save a new one with a single tap on Done.
• Mark a Bit lets you pick the bit from your set list or library.
• Club and Bar Show gig types, and Add Show sets the spot and the pay.
• Show reminders stay on time when you travel or move a show on another device.
• On Apple Watch, the Stage tab shows when and where your next show is and each bit's running time, and the watch says when it's recording.
• Import splits a long paste from Notes into the right bits and flags notes to self.
• Plus fixes throughout, including some that could lose a new bit's text or an edit made on another device.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-23

Bitbook 1.2 turns your sets into clips.

Open a show or practice recording and choose Create Clip. Select the lines in the transcript and Bitbook cuts the video for your feeds, in vertical, square, or 4:5. Add captions in a dozen styles, with a translation if you want one, bleep a word, zoom in on the lines you choose, cut filler words and long pauses, and stay in frame with Follow Subject. Or join clips from different shows into one video.

Also new:
• Enhance Voice lifts your voice out of a noisy room, and you choose how loud the audience stays.
• Practice is one screen: a lap time for every bit, notes stamped as you go, and Minimize to keep it running in a bar. Apple Watch works as the remote.
• All Shows has a calendar, and Places maps every room you've played.
• Your Intro Card keeps what the host should say and how to say your name.
• Camera Control starts a filmed show and marks a moment without stopping the tape.
• Made for iPhone Duo, with stage curtains that open across the fold.
• Plus fixes throughout.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-30

Bringing in material you've already written is much simpler. Scan notebook pages, choose files, or paste, and Bitbook finds the bits, even across divider lines, numbered lists, and gaps between jokes. Remove, merge, or split them before anything is saved, pick up suggested titles, and undo the whole import if you change your mind.

Also new:
• Pitch and Ask for Feedback send the version of a bit you're looking at, and later updates keep sending that version.
• Bits without a title show their opening line.
• A new Monogram app icon in Settings > Appearance.
• Large libraries scroll and search using far less memory.
• When a recording can't start, Bitbook tells you whether it needs the camera or the microphone.
• Plus fixes throughout, especially on iPad.

### 1.0 — 2026-09-21
