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.


How to use it

Open the annotation menu

  • Long press any line in scene view
  • The menu opens with four annotation types listed

Add a note

  • Tap Note — type your text (up to 500 characters) and tap Save
  • The note preview appears inline next to the line

Set a colour highlight

  • Tap Highlight — pick from five colours
  • The line background reflects the chosen colour in scene view

Set a stage direction marker

  • Tap Marker — choose entrance, exit, audience look, cue or pause
  • A small icon appears on the line

Tag the emotion

  • Tap Emotion — pick from the emoji grid
  • The emoji appears directly on the line

Clear an annotation

  • Long press the line again and open the relevant type to remove it, or use Clear all to reset the line
