**Ad free version of Offbook!**
Hi — I'm Steve. I'm a working actor, and I built Off Book! for myself because I
was tired of scribbling on scripts and recording lines into voice memos I could
never find again. Turns out a bunch of other actors wanted it too. So here it is,
made by an actor, for actors.
THE GIST
Record your script line by line, then play it back to run your scenes anywhere —
on the bus, at the gym, pacing your kitchen at 1am the night before opening.
It's dead simple:
• Make a Work (your play), add your Scenes, drop in your Characters, and Record
your Lines.
• Recorded a 30-line scene and one line's out of order? Don't you dare start over.
Tap the "+" to slip a new line in, or just press-and-hold a line and drag it
where it belongs. Voilà.
• Scenes out of order too? Same deal — long-press and drag. Fixed.
NOW REHEARSE
Tap the Rehearse icon and you're in. Play the whole scene, or pick the character
YOU'RE playing and flip on "Mute My Line" — the scene plays right up to your cue,
then pauses just long enough for you to nail the line before your next cue rolls
in. Want a little nudge? "Cue My Line" gives you a friendly *ding* right before
it's your turn.
And here's the good part for runaround rehearsing: playback keeps going when your
screen locks or you switch apps. Lock-screen, Control Center, and headphone
controls all work — so you can run lines completely hands-free. Speed it up, slow
it down, loop a scene till it sticks.
LINESYNC — RUN LINES WITH YOUR CAST
Doing a show with other people? LineSync lets a director share a show's lines and
recordings with the whole cast across phones. Invite your actors by email; they
sync everything to their own phone for FREE. As castmates record their lines, the
director hears them show up automatically — no nagging. LineSync is a small
monthly subscription per show, paid by the director. The cast never pays a dime.
BUILT FOR EVERY ACTOR
Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Dark Mode work throughout — because the stage is for
everybody.
Got a slick feature idea, or (gasp!) found a bug? Hit the support link and there's
an email box waiting at the bottom — I read them myself.
Now go get off book. Break a leg.
— Steve
——— PRO TIPS ———
• "It won't save my lines!" → You probably skipped the microphone permission.
Reinstall and tap YES when it asks, or go to iPhone Settings → Off Book! →
switch Microphone ON.
• To DELETE a Line, Character, Scene, or Work: swipe right-to-left and tap Delete.
Careful — deleting a Character also deletes its Lines.
• Long scene, phone left unattended? Set Auto-Lock to a long time (or Never) so it
doesn't nap mid-rehearsal.

I swear by this app! I used the regular version for years and then switched to the pro version. I recommend it to everyone. I sent in feedback and they had the chance I requested in functionality within a week!! That is unheard of! They made me a loyal user for life. This is an actor’s best friend.

I found this app a few days ago and even though I’m only in my first show, I am finding it hugely helpful. My husband, who does so much more acting than I, loves it also! Thanks for creating this app that so many will find so useful!!
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the kind words! Very much appreciated!
Broken App and No Support
Capn Mac
I had a friend recommended this to me for learning lines. Seems like a great tool if it worked. I created a title, added characters and scenes but it won’t let me record anything. The record page does not list the scenes. I read that the microphone may not be enabled, so I uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing. I went into the app settings on my phone and there is no such setting for a microphone. I tried reaching out to the developer but the website no longer exists. I will be requesting a refund.
Love this app!

I have used Off Book! Pro for three shows now and it is a lifesaver. The ability for multiple cast members to record their lines on their own devices and then rehearse without having to be at an actual rehearsal is a game changer.
Double-tap to hear a muted line
Rehearsing with "Mute my lines" on and blank on your own cue? Double-tap the line in the Rehearse screen and it plays out loud, just that once. A single tap still starts the scene from that line with your mute respected. This brings back a favourite from the classic app, and it works for recorded lines and spoken (imported) lines alike.
