**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.

——— 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.

Curtain up on Script Import!
Typing a whole play in by hand? No longer. Now you hand Off Book! a script and it does the reading — scenes, characters, and every last
line — while you go warm up.
• Import a whole script. Feed it a PDF or a text file and Off Book! pulls out
the scenes, characters, and lines for you. No more thumb cramps.
• .fdx & Fountain get the VIP treatment. Final Draft and Fountain files take the
express lane and map almost perfectly — no guessing, no notes.
• A dress rehearsal before you commit. Everything lands in a preview first:
rename, merge or split scenes, cut what you don't want, tidy up character
names. Everything is in preview until you save.
• Hear it before you record. Imported lines you haven't recorded yet get read
aloud in their own per-character voices — so a brand-new show is rehearsable
by ear from minute one.
• Fluff a line? Insert it mid-scene. Tap the + right where it belongs and drop
it in. No more tacking it on the end and dragging it up the pecking order.
• A brand-new how-to guide. More → Help & Tutorials now has plain-English,
step-by-step walkthroughs for the whole app — importing, rehearsing, sharing
with your cast, the works.
Your shows, scenes, lines, and recordings all carry over when you update.
Nothing to re-do.
Found a bug or just want to say hi? The support link's right there. I read every
single message.
Now go learn your lines.
Break a leg!
