About

My Sides

Features
Read full description

My Sides is a rehearsal partner for actors. Import your screenplay, choose your character, and run your lines with AI voices playing every other part. HOW IT WORKS Import a script in PDF, Final Draft (.fdx), Fountain, or Fade In format. My Sides reads the screenplay, identifies every character, and builds an interactive rehearsal session. Pick the role you're playing, and the app voices all your scene partners while you speak your lines into the mic. The app listens to your delivery, checks it against the script, and tells you how close you got. Retry the lines you stumble on, skip the ones you've nailed, and track your score as you go. WORKS OUT OF THE BOX Fountain, Final Draft and Fade In scripts open instantly on any device, with no AI and no account. Apple's built-in voices read your scene partners straight away. PDFs need AI to read the screenplay layout. On iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 and later, or an M-series iPad, that runs on the device for free. On older devices, connect a free Claude or OpenAI account and PDFs work there too. OPTIONAL PREMIUM VOICES Connect your own ElevenLabs account for realistic, natural-sounding voices. Give each character a distinct voice - different ages, accents, tones. SMARTER SCRIPT READING For complex or unusually formatted scripts, connect a Claude (Anthropic) or OpenAI account. These AI services are better at parsing messy formatting. Both offer free credits to new accounts. On devices with Apple Intelligence, on-device AI handles most scripts without any cloud service. SCENE-BY-SCENE REHEARSAL Long scripts are automatically split into rehearsable scenes. Practise one scene at a time, or run the full script end to end. BUILT FOR ACTORS - Speak your lines into the mic and get instant accuracy feedback - Lines are masked until you peek, and every reveal is counted in your session stats - Colour-coded characters so you can scan for your cue - Strict mode (word-for-word) or Sense mode (meaning preserved, wording flexible) - Session stats: pass rate, average score, retries, peeks used, line-by-line breakdown - Track your improvement across rehearsal sessions PRIVACY FIRST Your scripts stay on your device by default. Choose On-Device in Settings and script text never leaves the phone. Add your own Claude, OpenAI or ElevenLabs key and only then is text sent to that service, for parsing or voices. Audio is processed in real-time and never recorded or stored. No analytics, no tracking, no ads. API keys are stored in the iOS Keychain and never shared with anyone except the services they belong to. FREE TO USE One script with unlimited rehearsals, completely free. Unlock unlimited scripts with a single one-time purchase - no subscriptions.
