Google Docs is a powerful word processor used by millions to write and collaborate. But if you’re a performer — whether a comedian, storyteller, or speaker — you might find yourself needing something more tailored to your craft. That’s where Repertoire comes in.
Why Performers Love Repertoire
Repertoire is designed specifically for stage performers. Here are seven reasons why it’s a better choice for writing and organizing your material compared to Google Docs.
1. Organize with #subjects, @sets, and more…
Google Docs offers a free-form writing experience, but as your material grows, it becomes difficult to track jokes, stories, or segments across multiple documents.
Repertoire provides built-in structure with Subjects, Sets, Ratings, and Stages. This makes it easy to build a new act by quickly finding polished bits, testing new ideas, and grouping material by theme.
2. Track revisions with clear progression
Google Docs has version history, but it’s not designed to help you track the development of a bit or a set over time.
Repertoire introduces Note Stages, allowing you to move each bit from:
- Idea
- To Test
- To Improve
- Done
- Discarded
This way, you always know where each piece of material stands in its evolution.
3. Estimate performance time
Google Docs doesn’t help you gauge how long your set will run on stage.
Repertoire calculates estimated duration for each note and for entire sets, so you can better manage your timing and make adjustments before stepping on stage.
4. Minimalist interface built for performers
Google Docs is a robust tool with formatting options, comments, and collaboration features. But for a solo performer, all of this can be overwhelming and unnecessary.
Repertoire is designed to be simple and distraction-free, so you can focus on writing and refining your material without clutter.
5. Rate your material
Google Docs treats all text equally, making it hard to keep track of which material is strong and which needs work.
Repertoire allows you to rate your bits, helping you quickly identify which bits are stage-ready and which need refinement.
6. Designed for performers — not for everyone
Google Docs is a general-purpose writing tool, great for essays and business documents.
Repertoire is built exclusively for performers, ensuring every feature aligns with the way comedians, speakers, and storytellers develop their craft.
7. Built by an indie developer who listens
Google Docs is a massive product by Google, with little connection to niche user groups like performers.
Repertoire is built and maintained by an indie developer who actively listens to user feedback, improving the app based on real performer needs.
Make the switch today
While Google Docs is a great all-purpose writing tool, it wasn’t built for performers. Repertoire, on the other hand, is designed to help you organize, refine, and perfect your material — so you can deliver your best performance every time.
