Use a reader when you can. Use Linus when you can’t. Your AI-powered scene partner, self tape tool, and line learning app—built by actors, ready when you are. Run lines, run scenes, learn lines and self tape anytime, anywhere. When pressure hits, Linus listens. You’ve run scenes in your trailer. Stayed late after rehearsals. Taped alone in hotel rooms, and whispered lines to yourself in the car and on the train. You’ve prepared for the callback or audition alone, desperate, because everyone said ‘sorry, I can’t, I’m busy’. Linus was made for these moments—the quiet, chaotic, last-minute ones where confidence matters and no one’s around. We’re actors who get it. We live your life. That’s why we built Linus: an AI line reader, teleprompter for actors, and rehearsal partner that listens for your cue, responds in flow, and holds space so you can do what you love and lead your scene. Whether you’re learning 8 pages the night before a callback, self taping at 1AM, or finding your flow on the go, Linus is built to support your process—not replace it. This is rehearsals, without pressure. Play, without panic. ------------ How to get the most out of Linus USE REAL ACTOR VOICES AND SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY Choose your scene partner by accent, tone, age or gender. Every time you rehearse with a voice, that actor gets paid. SELFTAPE WITHOUT A READER Use a smart teleprompter for actors that scrolls naturally while you move. Record, edit, and favourite your best takes without leaving the app. Perfect for selftapes when no reader is around. LEARN LINES FASTER, YOUR WAY Loop tricky moments and work in sections. Hide lines. Use first-letter-only prompts. Stay in flow while you learn lines for auditions or performances. REHEARSE HANDS-FREE, ANYWHERE Run lines in the car, at the gym, on a walk, or lying in the sun. Linus plays your scene partner so you can live your life while rehearsing. UPLOAD MESSY SCRIPTS WITH NO STRESS Got a script with notes from casting written on it? No problem. Linus understands how to find your role, extract your lines, and work around notes—getting you into the scene in seconds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Koala Notes at none against Linus's 7. Linus's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
