Writing
Every bit, in order.
Capture material, add labels, and build it into set lists. Drag to reorder, keep alternate phrasings side by side, and find any of it again with full-text search.
Your whole act in one notebook.
For stand-up comedians, from the first rough premise to the bit you close with.
Free, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple TV
On stage
Watch the clock, fullscreen.
Elapsed time and time remaining, with haptic cues as your time runs out. Your set list sits under the timer and expands mid-show if you need it. Or run it from your wrist: Apple Watch has the timer, the cues, and your set list, and can record the show on its own.
After the show
Know which bits keep landing.
Log the show with its venue, date, set list, and notes, then rate each bit from one to five stars. The ratings build into a track record, one per bit, across every show you log.
Clips
Turn the tape into clips.
Select the lines in the transcript and Bitbook cuts the video for your feeds, vertical, square, or 4:5. Add captions in a dozen styles, bleep a word, zoom in on the lines you choose, and cut the filler words. Follow Subject keeps you in frame, and clips from different shows join into one video.
Every Apple platform
iPhone and iPad
Write anywhere, and run the show from your pocket. Open iPhone Duo and your bits sit beside the one you're writing. Apple Pencil on iPad.
Mac
The writing sessions that want a keyboard and a big screen.
Apple Vision Pro
Rehearse in an immersive comedy club before you have to do it in a real one.
Apple Watch
Quick Capture from your wrist, your set list, a live timer, and haptic cues on stage.
Apple TV
Watch your show recordings back on the big screen.
CarPlay
Listen back to a set on the drive home.

Writing
- Quick Capture
- Start a bit from Siri, Shortcuts, a widget, Control Center, or the Lock Screen. What you said is already text when you open it.
- Import
- Bring in what you've already written: a text file, a paste from Notes, or photos of your notebook pages. Bitbook cuts it into bits, and you review the split before any of it is saved.
- Versions
- Keep more than one draft of a bit and switch between them.
- Swaps
- Mark a word or phrase and keep alts for it, a different punchline or a tag, each with its own track record.
- Sketches
- Draw or write by hand alongside a bit with Apple Pencil.
Practice and recordings
- Practice
- Timed practice on a bit or a whole set, against a target length, with per-bit advance, recording, and a breakdown of where you ran long or short.
- Transcription
- Show and practice recordings become searchable, editable text, processed on your device.
- Find Laughs
- Marks the laughs in a recording so you can jump straight to them instead of scrubbing the whole tape.
Sharing
- Ask for Feedback
- Share a bit, a set list, or a show recording with people you choose, and their comments come back inside the app.
- Pitch
- Send a bit to another comic. They keep it or pass, and a kept bit lands in their library credited to you.
Settings
- Appearance
- Themes, accent colors, the font and size your bits are set in, and alternate app icons.
- Languages
- Localized in more than 40 languages.
- Export
- Everything leaves in a single
.bitbookarchive, and it imports straight back.
