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. Terms of Use: https://bitbook.lol/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://bitbook.lol/privacy/
