CALENDAR

One schedule, no confusion

Gigs, rehearsals, studio time — everyone sees the same calendar. Members mark their availability so you can plan around real schedules, not guesswork.

  • + Shared events with location and details
  • + Recurring practice schedules
  • + Availability tracking per member
  • + iCal sync with Google, Apple, Outlook

Everything else you need

The stuff that used to live in five different apps.

đŸ’Ŧ

Real-time chat

Group rooms, direct messages, emoji reactions. See who's online. No more band group chat buried under 200 memes in iMessage.

đŸ‘Ĩ

Member profiles

Everyone gets a profile — bio, photo, instrument, contact info. New member joins? They can see who everyone is immediately.

🔐

Permissions that make sense

Not everyone needs access to everything. Let the guitarist edit setlists but keep the finances to the band leader. Fine-grained control without the complexity.

📧

Promo tools

Send email blasts to venues, fans, and contacts. Manage your press kit, logos, and stage plots in one place. No more "who has the hi-res logo?"

🔑

No passwords

Sign in with a magic link sent to your email. Click the link, you're in. Your drummer will thank you.

↩ī¸

Undo anything

Every change is tracked. Accidentally delete the setlist for Saturday's gig? One click to bring it back. No drama, no finger-pointing.
