Standup set builder
TightFive turns the recordings you already make — sets, riffs, walk-and-talk ideas — into a library of bits: transcribed, split joke by joke, timed, and ready to assemble into your next set.
Private beta. No forms, no waitlist — email us and a human answers.
Drop in the voice memos you already record after sets and writing sessions. Audio in — no typing, no tagging.
Every recording becomes a searchable transcript, timed to the second, so the audio and the words stay linked.
Each memo is automatically broken into individual bits. Every joke gets its own page collecting every take you have of it.
Order your bits into a tight 5, 10, or 30 — with per-bit runtimes and a running total as you arrange the flow.
All recorded versions of a joke live together. Listen back to a take while you read along with the transcript.
Mark the version that killed as canonical. When a better one lands, re-mark it — sets and exports flag your canonical take with a star.
Realized on the drive home how it should have been said? Edit the text of any bit — your written version is stored alongside the takes and used when you build sets.
Assemble bits in running order and watch the total runtime. No more guessing whether your tight 15 is actually 19.
One click produces a clean set list — numbered bits, runtimes, canonical stars, your notes — as plain text or markdown you can paste straight into Google Docs or any notes app.
Full-text search across every joke and every transcript. That premise you half-remember from two years ago? Found.
TightFive is in private beta with working comics. If you have a backlog of recordings and a set to build, we want you in.
