Peek in Blackout Mode and Scene Filter

v1.4.2 · April 14, 2026


What's new

Blackout mode now has a reveal button — the eye icon next to any hidden line. Tap it to see the line without exiting the mode. You stay in study context, get the line you need, and keep going.

In the script hub, a new toggle lets you show only the scenes where your character appears. If you're in a large show or covering multiple roles, it's faster to find where you need to be.


Why it matters for your rehearsal

Going blank on one line shouldn't break your flow. Before this update, the only option was to toggle Blackout mode off — which reveals everything — and then turn it back on. That interrupts the drill and makes it easy to accidentally read ahead. The reveal button keeps you in the mode while giving you a way out of the blank without losing context.

The scene filter is most useful in large shows: musicals, ensemble pieces, anything with forty or fifty scenes. Scrolling through every scene to find the three you're in wastes time. With the filter on, the hub shows exactly what you need.


How to use it

Peek in Blackout mode

  1. Enter Blackout mode from any scene
  2. Tap the eye icon next to a hidden line to reveal it
  3. The line stays revealed only until you move — tap again to hide it

Scene filter

  1. Open the script hub
  2. Tap the filter toggle at the top of the scene list
  3. Enable Only my scenes — the list updates immediately

Also in this update

  • Clearer visual gaps in the lines view when your lines aren't consecutive — so you can see how much space there is before your next cue
  • Better error messages when uploading unsupported file formats, including perusal editions of musical theatre scripts
