Google Keep is a simple, effective tool for quick notes and reminders. But if you’re a performer — whether a comedian, storyteller, or speaker — you might find yourself needing something more. That’s where Repertoire comes in.
Why Performers Love Repertoire
Repertoire is crafted with the artist needs in mind. Here are 7 reasons why you’ll love writing your material in a writing space dedicated to stage performers.
1. Organize with #subjects, @sets and more…
Google Keep is a general purpose note taking application which applies a one-dimensional organizational structure: labels. As your act grows with you, soon it becomes difficult to manage your material using labels only.
Repertoire however, provides multiple ways to organize your notes: Stages, Rating, Subjects and Sets.
This makes it super easy to create a new act for a new event, because you can easily find the bits that are done, perform well, needs testing and wraps around a given subject.
2. Rate your bits
Google Keep stores all notes equally, making it difficult to distinguish which ones are working on stage.
Repertoire lets you rate each bit, so you can quickly identify which material resonates best with your audience and which needs improvement.
3. Move your notes from “Idea” to “Done”
Google Keep is great for jotting things down, but it doesn’t help you develop your material over time.
Repertoire introduces Note Stages, so you always know where each bit stands in its evolution from idea to stage-ready material. These stages are:
- Idea
- To Test
- To Improve
- Done
- Discarded
4. Track showtime — per bit and per set
Google Keep doesn’t provide any insights into how long your material will take on stage.
Repertoire calculates the estimated duration of your notes and summarizes the total for your sets, helping you better plan your performances.
5. Minimalistic design
Google Keep is a general note-taking app, cluttered with reminders, checkboxes, and other Google products that might not be relevant to you.
Repertoire is minimalist and focused, keeping your creative space free from distractions so you can concentrate on perfecting your craft.
6. Designed for performers — not for everyone
Google Keep is a catch-all app for shopping lists, to-dos, and quick notes.
Repertoire is built exclusively for performers who craft and refine material for the stage. Every feature is designed with your workflow in mind.
7. Built by an indie developer who cares
Google Keep is a faceless corporate product with no direct connection to its users. It was designed to keep you within the Google ecosystem so that Google can monetize your data.
Repertoire is built and maintained by an indie developer who values performer feedback and continuously improves the app based on real user needs.
Make the switch today
As you can see, while Google Keep is a solid general-purpose note-taking app, it simply wasn’t built with performers in mind.
Repertoire, on the other hand, gives you the tools to organize, refine, and perfect your material - so you can make your show the best it can be.
