Your bits deserve better than the Notes app. Premises die in dead-end text threads. Setlists end up half-written across three apps. You know you wrote a great callback somewhere, and now you can't find it. BitBuilder gives your whole act one home: write it, tag it, run it, and learn what actually works. It's a one-time purchase. No subscription, no account to set up. The launch price is low right now and going up soon. WRITE Get a premise down the second it hits, before you lose it. Tag each line as a setup, a punchline, an act-out, whatever it is, so you can see how the bit is built instead of squinting at a paragraph. The tagging happens on your phone, so your material never leaves it and you don't need a signal. SET Build a setlist and watch the running time climb toward your spot, so you stop going long. Drag lines into order, then flip to cue cards before you go up. Road gig coming? Export the set and send it over. STAGE Record a set and listen back for the exact moment the room turned. Rate your bits afterward so you've got more than a foggy memory of how it went. Keep track of which rooms each bit has played. SEARCH Pull up any bit, line, or voice note in a second. Search the whole notebook by a punchline you half-remember or a scrap of an idea. Everything stays on your device and syncs through your own iCloud. No ads, no tracking, no account. It works on a plane or in a basement bar with no signal, and if you come back to it after a month away, it's all still there. Your unreleased stuff stays yours. First open mic or hour-long special, your next bit starts tonight.
