Description
Stop reading the same pages over and over. HitCue is the script app theatre actors use to memorize lines and get off-book faster.
Brute repetition is slow, stressful, and the first thing to collapse under stage lights. HitCue gives you a real method — script analysis, character focus, blackout drills, cue-line audio, and TTS playback — built around the way real productions actually rehearse.
UPLOAD A SCRIPT, GET A REHEARSAL TOOL
Drop in a PDF, Word file, or plain text. HitCue parses your script into acts, scenes, and dialogue automatically. Jump to any scene in a single tap — no more scrolling through 80 pages every time you need to work a moment.
LEARN YOUR LINES, NOT THE WHOLE SCENE
• Character focus — assign your role and isolate just your part
• "My scenes only" filter — see only the scenes you actually appear in
• Blackout mode — hide your lines and reveal them one at a time
• Reveal hidden line — peek at a single line without leaving the drill
• Bookmark — long-press a line to resume study from exactly where you stopped
• Jump to scene — move anywhere in the play without breaking your flow
DRILL CUES WITHOUT A PARTNER
• Text-to-speech playback — your phone reads the other parts aloud, with separate male and female voices per character
• Cue-line audio recordings — record the lines before yours and run drills solo, any time
• Cue beep — a soft tone right before your line so you always know when to come in
• Adaptive pause — silence on your line matches the length of your recorded delivery
• Manual pause mode — tap to advance after each line, on your own timing
• End-of-scene behavior — loop the scene, advance to the next, or jump only between your scenes
ORGANIZE EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
• Acts and scenes navigation
• Per-scene and per-character notes
• Character sheet — age, type, relationships, objectives, emotional arc
• Per-scene character statistics — see exactly which scenes you have cracked and which still need work
• Dialogue styles — classic script format or modern bubble layout
• Script update — re-import a new version without losing your study progress
REHEARSE WITH YOUR CAST (Pro)
• Share your script with the cast via one invite link — no email chains
• Shared notes attached to the scene — direction, blocking, and changes stay in one place
• Cast recordings — share audio inside the script, in context
• Member access management — keep ownership of your shared script

What's new (v1.8.1)
Improved character management.
Aliases now grouped by character with line counts. From the character detail screen, merge a duplicate into another character or delete one entirely — deletion requires a typed confirmation, and the character's lines convert to neutral notes rather than disappearing.
