Bits is an app for professional stand-up comedians. It’s designed to keep your writing process fast and organized so you can focus on your comedy instead of the tools. Here's what it offers: *WRITE BITS* Whenever a funny thought pops into your brain, you can quickly add it to your infinite bits list. Just open the app, hit that plus button, and start writing. All your bits are saved securely*, instantly, and automatically so you won’t have to worry about that. *ADD NOTES* Writing the perfect bit comes with lots of experimentation and small details to remember. To help you with the ongoing process of adjustments, each bit has its section of notes. Bits and notes always come together so you won’t be able to lose important notes you’ve written to yourself. *BUILD SETS* We all wish for the perfect set. The set will catch the crowd on its first bit and finish with resounding laughter. This glory set is the easiest to build and manage. You can add bits to existing sets or create a new set and add bits to it. Simply drag & drop to reorder the bits and have them ready one by one. Move jokes up and down, remove and add until you find that perfect balance of laughs. *ON STAGE MODE* The old days of paper pages on a stool are over! When you’re up there on stage, you can switch to the on-stage mode and have your set ready for your performance. The screen will remain turned on and all black. While you perform, you can swipe right or left to indicate if the joke did well or not so you can come back to it later and reshape it the way you think best. *ORGANIZE WITH LABELS* Planning a Christmas set? And how about those airport bits? Or where did you put all of your funny bits about your dad? Oh, they’re all labeled! Label each bit with any label(s) you want. Either apply labels from the bit screen or add bits to an existing label from the labels screen. Access by bit the themes you think are most suitable for your next set. *SET STATUSES* Writing a bit is a process. It starts with a thought and moves up the ladder until it’s done. Draft, done, or gold - these are predefined statuses for your bits which will help you plan ahead and easily see which bits need more work, which can be performed and get laughs, and which are so good that you can close and get max cheers from your crowd. *TIME YOUR BITS* You got only 5 minutes, 5:10 at most. Which bits can be squeezed in to fit that time limitation? Oh, that’s easy. Each bit is generated with an approximate time it’ll take you to perform it, but you can always tweak it and make sure you can plan every bit to fit perfectly into its time slot. ---- --- *Please note that material backup, bit feedback, and custom icons are available to paid subscribers only. ---- --- I’d love to answer your questions or just hear what you think about Bits.

Daily Compound turns small daily habits into real long-term wins. Track the things you want to do every day, health, financial, personal, whatever matters to you, and watch your streaks build. Health goals can auto-check off using Apple Health data, so steps, workouts, and calories track themselves. REWARDS THAT ACTUALLY MOTIVATE Set long-term goals with real rewards attached. Link the exact item you're working toward (a trip, new shoes, a splurge) and see a preview image right on your goal. Hit $50K in savings? Treat yourself to that new laptop. Go 30 days without sugar? Book that spa day. The bigger the goal, the bigger the reward. NET WORTH, WITHOUT THE SPREADSHEET Add your accounts, checking, savings, investments, credit cards, and Daily Compound calculates your net worth automatically. Watch it climb on a simple chart, with monthly reminders to log the number and see it added to your history. WEIGHT TRACKING, DONE RIGHT Set a goal weight and log your progress with a smooth, tactile ruler picker. Get a small celebration every time the number drops, and see exactly how far you have left to go. CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS Start a challenge, pick the exact goals everyone will be compared on, and invite friends with a simple join code. Everyone checks off the same goals daily, so the leaderboard is always a fair comparison, not just who has the easier list. STAYS OUT OF YOUR WAY Color-coded categories keep everything organized. A home screen widget shows today's progress at a glance. Archive goals you're done with (they're never really gone) and pick back up whenever you want. Small habits, tracked consistently, compound into something bigger. That's the whole idea.

Bits's advantage is ratings volume (228 vs 2). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
