Setlist Supervisor is the premier setlist generator for musicians who want to craft the perfect setlist for their band while staying within of the time constraints of the gig. Add custom details about each song you can play like time (duration) , bpm (speed), fan favorites, album, and arrange and order your setlists with simple drag and drop tools. Determine how long your band’s set will actually be, even factoring in time between songs to let your fan’s thunderous applause fade! Use the BPM alert to warn you if the speed of your setlist slows down incrementally. Choose album colors to easily see if you are playing songs off of a variety of albums, or just one. Print or email pdfs of your setlist to your band members. Use Showtime View when it’s the day of the show to always show your set list to the band, and alert you when it’s time to get on and off the stage, or practice how long it really takes you to run through your set at band practice. Setlist Supervisor is everything bands need in a setlist generation tool, and is written entirely in Apple’s new declarative SwiftUI syntax for a responsive design across all platforms. Also looks great in Dark Mode!

Building a setlist shouldn't be harder than playing the show. Setlist Lab is the setlist tool working musicians have been waiting for β€” built for the bar band, the solo acoustic act, the touring group, and everyone in between. Whether you're playing a 30-minute opener or a three-set night, Setlist Lab takes the guesswork out of building your set so you can focus on what actually matters: the performance. Stop asking yourself the same questions every gig. What songs do I know? Does this flow right? Did I already use that one? Setlist Lab answers all of it. Your entire catalog lives in the app, organized exactly how you think about it β€” by energy, by tags, by kind. The visual energy arc shows you at a glance whether your set builds, peaks, or flatlines. No more showing up to soundcheck with a napkin setlist. Let us build it for you. Not sure where to start? Tell Setlist Lab how long your show is, how many sets, what energy arc you want, and what mix of originals and covers β€” and we connect to Claude to build your setlist in seconds. You get a complete, thoughtful setlist that fits your show. Fine-tune it from there, or just play it. Or build it yourself, the smart way. Prefer to do it manually? Drag songs into your sets, watch the energy arc update in real time, add breaks, and adjust until it feels right. Every decision is informed β€” you always know what you're working with. Built for the stage. Stage View puts your setlist in large, readable text optimized for low light. Key signatures, energy levels, and stage notes are all right there when you need them. No squinting, no scrolling through a notes app. Your whole catalog, always ready. Add songs one at a time or import your whole catalog at once β€” paste a list and let Claude figure out the rest. Store lyrics and chord sheets right alongside each song so your whole show lives in one place. Save every show. Save setlists with show name, date, venue, and set times. Export as text, CSV, or PDF. Build a song book with your full lyrics and chord charts to share with your band. Setlist Lab is $3.99/month after a free 7-day trial. No ads. No upsells. Just a tool that works.
