Annotate Your Lines Directly in the Script
v1.8.0 · May 18, 2026
What's new
Line annotations. Long press any line in scene view to open the annotation menu. Four things you can do from there:
- Note — write a personal note up to 500 characters: an intention, a director's note, a timing reminder
- Highlight — mark the line with a colour (yellow, red, blue, green, purple)
- Marker — set a stage direction tag (entrance, exit, audience, cue, pause)
- Emotion — attach an emoji that captures the emotional register of the moment
All annotations are stored per line and synced to your account across devices.
Why it matters for your rehearsal
Reading a script and annotating it are two different things. The first time you read a scene you might notice an intention, a rhythm, a moment where something shifts. Without a way to capture that directly in the text, it disappears by the next rehearsal.
Line annotations keep that interpretive layer attached to the script itself — not in a separate notebook, not in a chat thread. Every colour, note, marker and emotion is exactly where you need it: next to the line it belongs to.
