Daily Reps for Improv Fundamentals

One short scene. Five exchanges. Quick coaching. A streak that keeps you coming back.

🎭

Daily Scene Practice

Five-exchange scenes targeting a specific improv skill — Yes-And, Object Work, Emotion, Status, and more. Short enough to do every day. Deep enough to actually improve.

🤖

AI Scene Partner & Coach

Your AI scene partner responds in character while a separate coaching layer evaluates your technique and offers targeted feedback after each scene.

🔥

Stage Time Streak

Track consecutive days of practice with your Stage Time streak. Miss a day, lose your streak. Simple accountability that mirrors the discipline real comedy careers demand.

🌳

Three AI Modes

Train your way — from fully offline to cloud-powered coaching

Off — Scripted Scenes

Practice with locally stored scripted scene exchanges. No AI, no internet, no coaching overlay. Pure pattern repetition for fundamentals work.

Mode 2

On-Device — Apple Intelligence

Uses Apple Intelligence for dynamic scene exchanges and deferred coaching when available. Fully offline — nothing leaves your device. Requires compatible hardware.

Mode 3

Enhanced — Cloud AI

Routes scene work to Claude Haiku and coaching analysis to Claude Sonnet when online. Richest feedback. Opt-in only — your default is always private.

Stage Time Streak

The habit is the practice
