## What is SideRunner?

SideRunner gives actors a reader whenever they need one.

Upload your sides or your script, choose your character, and SideRunner reads the other roles aloud using a selection of voices or create your own. As you perform your lines, SideRunner listens and responds when it’s the other character’s turn. Giving you a reader that reacts to your performance instead of simply playing back prerecorded lines.

Rehearse your way

Run a scene as many times as you need. Add beats and pauses where the scene needs room to breathe, then concentrate on your performance instead of operating the app.

Get ready for your self-tape

When it’s time to record, SideRunner reads the other characters while you focus on your performance. Set up your phone, run the scene and record your take, without needing someone else to be available to read. Review and save or review and retake totally within your control.

Built by an actor

SideRunner was built around a simple idea: a digital reader should behave more like a real one. Listening, waiting and responding to your performance.

Whether you’re running a scene or getting a self-tape done, SideRunner gives you a reader based on your needs and on your schedule.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-01

More natural scene timing. Your reader now better respects pauses within your lines, giving you the space to let those moments play.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-26

Self-tape improvements. Your take now keeps recording audio after the final line, so those last moments of your performance aren’t lost. Pinch to zoom while framing, and your camera choice and zoom now survive a retake. We’ve also improved landscape framing, made saving progress clearer, and SideRunner now stays awake while you’re working. New imports include a quick check so you can make sure your script looks right before you start.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-21

We’ve refreshed our App Store preview and screenshots to give you a better look at SideRunner in action.

This update keeps your scenes in step between the web and your iPhone.

• Scenes set up on the web now keep their settings, including Teleprompter mode, when saved on your iPhone.

• If your rehearsal is interrupted, SideRunner now gives you clear instructions to get started again.
• Other fixes and improvements.
