Setlistory makes gigging easy! An application designed with the gigging musician in mind. It lets you create, edit, manage and export setlists for your past and upcoming gigs. Once you create your account and log in, you input all your songs with their information (title, type, length, key, authors, bpm, lyrics,...) and then you can start creating your setlists. Each setlist is defined by the venue, city, date (and optional comment). The venue field is an ever growing database of giggable venues. Songs are then added to the setlist and ordered via a simple drag and drop interface. There is a comment section for each song available; they are sound engineer comments, lighting comments and roadie comments. Features: • PDF export - the setlist can be exported to a ready-to-print format (you can optionally show BPM and key) • Excel export - export the essential data to a xlsx format • Export to forms - some countries have mandatory forms which need to be filled out (like SAZAS forms in Slovenia) - Setlistory fills them out automatically • PDF export of sound, lighting and roadie comments which you can hand out to the staff members at your gig • QR code - used in conjunction with the Setlistory Crew application • Lyrics - redirects to Setlistory Lyrics web application The mobile application is also available as a web application on: https://app.setlistory.com We would love to get your feedback!

About

Plotwright

Features
Read full description

Plotwright builds the two documents every gig needs — a stage plot and an input list — and turns them into one clean, print-ready PDF you hand to the venue's sound engineer. Pay once. No subscription, no account, no WiFi required. It's made for the band member who got volunteered to "make the tech rider" and the front-of-house engineer who has to read it in dim light at load-in. What you build on screen is exactly what prints — no fuzzy export, no surprises at soundcheck. WHAT YOU GET • A top-down stage plot you build by dropping in simple, map-like symbols for the gear on stage — like drums, amps, monitors, DIs, and risers. Move, resize, rotate, rename, or duplicate anything. • An input list that numbers itself in the order engineers expect — kick, snare, toms, overheads, bass, guitars, keys, vocals — so you look like you know the convention even if you don't. Reorder by hand any time. • One-page output with the plot and the numbered input list on the same sheet. • A true-vector PDF that stays sharp and reads cleanly in black and white — because it's getting printed and folded into someone's back pocket. BUILT THE WAY THE SHOW ACTUALLY RUNS • Stage orientation is fixed and labeled — audience at the bottom, stage left and stage right from the performer's point of view — so no one patches the stage backwards. • Your act name, contact, and the date it was last edited are burned into the PDF, so the engineer always knows whose plot it is and how current it is. • Everything stays on your device. No cloud, no sign-in, nothing to sync. FREE TO BUILD, ONE-TIME UNLOCK TO EXPORT Build your plot, add your gear, and preview the finished page for free. A single one-time purchase unlocks PDF export, save, and share — for good. No subscription. No paywall in your way while you work. Made for gigging musicians, bands, and the live-sound engineers who advance their shows.
