Stop reading the same pages over and over. HitCue is the script app theatre actors use to memorize lines and get off-book faster. Brute repetition is slow, stressful, and the first thing to collapse under stage lights. HitCue gives you a real method — script analysis, character focus, blackout drills, cue-line audio, and TTS playback — built around the way real productions actually rehearse. UPLOAD A SCRIPT, GET A REHEARSAL TOOL Drop in a PDF, Word file, or plain text. HitCue parses your script into acts, scenes, and dialogue automatically. Jump to any scene in a single tap — no more scrolling through 80 pages every time you need to work a moment. LEARN YOUR LINES, NOT THE WHOLE SCENE • Character focus — assign your role and isolate just your part • "My scenes only" filter — see only the scenes you actually appear in • Blackout mode — hide your lines and reveal them one at a time • Reveal hidden line — peek at a single line without leaving the drill • Bookmark — long-press a line to resume study from exactly where you stopped • Jump to scene — move anywhere in the play without breaking your flow DRILL CUES WITHOUT A PARTNER • Text-to-speech playback — your phone reads the other parts aloud, with separate male and female voices per character • Cue-line audio recordings — record the lines before yours and run drills solo, any time • Cue beep — a soft tone right before your line so you always know when to come in • Adaptive pause — silence on your line matches the length of your recorded delivery • Manual pause mode — tap to advance after each line, on your own timing • End-of-scene behavior — loop the scene, advance to the next, or jump only between your scenes ORGANIZE EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE • Acts and scenes navigation • Per-scene and per-character notes • Character sheet — age, type, relationships, objectives, emotional arc • Per-scene character statistics — see exactly which scenes you have cracked and which still need work • Rehearsal schedule and reminders — keep calls, deadlines and repeat rehearsals visible • Dialogue styles — classic script format or modern bubble layout • Script update — re-import a new version without losing your study progress REHEARSE WITH YOUR CAST (Pro) • Share your script with the cast via one invite link — no email chains • Shared notes attached to the scene — direction, blocking, and changes stay in one place • Cast recordings — share audio inside the script, in context • Member access management — keep ownership of your shared script WHO IT IS FOR Theatre actors preparing a role.

The line being read is highlighted and the script scrolls along, so you never lose your place — and you can tap any line to jump the audio there. Playback starts from your bookmark, so move it to begin wherever you like. This release also improves audio recording and fixes stability issues. ### 1.9.2 — 2026-06-29 Study Deadlines and Mute Your Own Lines Set a target date for a script — a premiere, a show, an audition — and see it right on the script card and in your Calendar. In TTS drill, mute playback of just your own lines while keeping every other character's lines read aloud. We've also added a Singing marker for tagging sung lines in musical scenes. ### 1.9.1 — 2026-06-25 New Blackout Levels Blackout mode now has three levels of difficulty: full blackout, first word only, or just the first letter of each word, with the rest blurred. Choose how much of your line stays hidden right from Study Settings, and dial the drill to match how ready you are for a scene. ### 1.9.0 — 2026-06-08 Theatre Calendar for Rehearsals HitCue now includes a calendar built for actor work: rehearsals, performances, auditions, lessons, and personal study sessions can live next to the script you are preparing. Create timed or all-day events, add location and notes, repeat calls on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, and set reminders so rehearsal does not disappear into a separate calendar app. ### 1.8.1 — 2026-05-21 Improved character management. Aliases now grouped by character with line counts. From the character detail screen, merge a duplicate into another character or delete one entirely — deletion requires a typed confirmation, and the character's lines convert to neutral notes rather than disappearing. ## More apps by Davide Deponti - [Lunatio (Health and Wellness)](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lunatio-health-and-wellness/id1282962161) - [Climate Change News](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/climate-change-news/id1529743777) - [Play to Earn & Metaverse](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/play-to-earn-and-metaverse/id1624068386) All apps by Davide Deponti: https://appshunter.io/developer/1282962160 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
