GigGrid is the all-in-one companion for festivals, conferences and multi-stage events ā one app that works two ways: plan your perfect day as an attendee, or run your whole crew in real time. FOR FESTIVAL-GOERS ⢠The full line-up on one live grid ā every stage and act on a single timeline, with a moving NOW cursor so you always know what's on. Switch horizontal or vertical, reorder the stages you care about, and see artist photos by default. ⢠Search & filter ā jump straight to any artist, stage or genre across the whole schedule. ⢠Favorite & get reminded ā star the sets you love and GigGrid nudges you before each one starts, so two stages never cost you a show. ⢠Pick your event, set a default ā browse featured festivals, add the ones you're attending, and open straight to your event every time. ⢠Live festival weather ā real temperature, next-hour rain chance, wind and UV, with fun forecasts and heads-ups for incoming rain, strong sun or a chilly night. ⢠Works offline ā your schedule, favorites and artist photos are saved to your phone, so packed fields and dead zones can't take them away. Everything syncs when you're back. ⢠Sign in your way ā Apple, Google or email. Pick up where you left off on any device. FOR CREWS, STAGE MANAGERS & ORGANIZERS GigGrid is a real-time coordination platform that keeps your whole team in sync from load-in to encore. ⢠Live timeline grid ā every stage, act, pause and cue on one screen, with crew bands under each act showing who's assigned. ⢠Deploy your crew ā create teams, invite by email or join code, assign members to one or more stages. ⢠Smart check-ins ā require check-ins at the start, middle and end of shows, with a tunable window. Check in from an artist's page or a notification, see who's already covered it, and read success / late / missed states right on the grid. ⢠Cue system ā drop strict or loose cues on the timeline; each fires a push and haptic alert to assigned crew. ⢠Instant alerts ā message the whole crew, or just one stage's team, in a tap. ⢠Help & tasks ā ask for backup from any act and see who's committed; run a tasks board with templates and reminders. ⢠Punch-card passes ā export a printable crew pass per member as a PDF, with their shifts and live check-in progress. ⢠Offline-first ā check in with no signal; it saves on the phone and syncs later. Reminders arrive as real notifications that cut through sleep and Focus. ⢠AI schedule import ā paste a line-up URL or upload a PDF and GigGrid extracts every stage, act and time slot to import in one tap. ⢠AI event assistant ā change the schedule in plain language; it proposes a plan you approve, and can re-sync from the official source. ⢠Delegate & archive ā grant a trusted organizer admin rights for a single event (edit the program, notify attendees, see demographics), and park finished events to keep your list tidy ā their stats and teams stay, and you can revive anytime. Whether you're chasing your favourite band across four stages or running the show behind them, GigGrid turns "who's playing?" into a plan ā and keeps everyone on the same timeline. Free for fans. Free for organizers to deploy a crew.
