Your tour has enough moving parts. Keep the plan in one place. Tourouter is tour management for independent bands, musicians, and tour managers. Organize your run, share the details with your crew, and spend less time searching through messages and spreadsheets. PLAN THE RUN Build an itinerary with show days, travel days, and days off, and see the whole route on a map. ROUTE IT ON A MAP On the web at app.tourouter.com, route the whole tour on a map. Paste a list of dates and cities, mark holds and confirmed shows, drag stops into order, and get a warning when a show lands on a day you keep clear. TURN YOUR TOUR FLYER INTO A TOUR Import your tour dates from a flyer, photo, PDF, or typed list. AI helps read the dates so you can review, correct, and confirm the year before creating your tour. KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TODAY Keep load-in, soundcheck, doors, and set times on a shared day sheet. Put venue details, lodging, contacts, and notes alongside the schedule. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Basements, green rooms, and long drives between towns. Your active tour stays on your phone, so the schedule, venue, lodging, contacts, guest list, and money all open with no connection. Add an expense or change a set time offline and it syncs when you're back, and the app shows what's still waiting. Sending day sheets, imports, and settling a show need a connection. DAY SHEETS BY TEXT, UPDATES BY PUSH Send the day sheet to your crew by text and email, so nobody needs the app to know the plan. When a set time or lodging changes, everyone with the app gets a push notification. Texts go to US and Canadian numbers. KEEP YOUR CREW TOGETHER Invite band members and crew with the access they need. Share changes and keep everyone working from the same plan. The team owner pays for the plan; invited crew can join free. TOUR WITH OTHER BANDS Sharing a bill? Add the other bands and make it a Tour Package. Everyone works from the same schedule and day sheets. Each band decides which money to share, and merch stays private. TRACK THE MONEY Record guarantees, income, and expenses. Review profit and loss, show-by-show results, and the payments your band has recorded, then export reports as PDF or CSV. HANDLE THE DETAILS Keep venue and promoter contacts close at hand. Organize hotel stays and guest-list requests with the day they belong to. Built by touring musicians for life on the road. An account is required. New accounts confirm their email with a code. Free planning is available; paid features require a subscription or Tour Pass. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
