Hermit Prov is a practice tool for long-form improv comedy. It delivers scene suggestions you can work from alone or with friends. In hands-free mode, suggestions are read aloud so you can stay present instead of staring at your phone. Build your own suggestion libraries or use the built-in ones. Import and export sets as plain text to share with friends or move them between devices. The app runs fully offline. It does not collect data, require an account, record audio, or show ads. There are no subscriptions or in-app purchases. Nothing leaves your device unless you choose to export it. Inspired by Will Hines' article "Solo Improv Practice" (willhines.substack.com/p/solo-improv-practice). Open source. Released under the GNU General Public License v3.
