The Live Setlists is the app for musicians, bands, and music fans who want to manage, collaborate on, and share setlists โ with a built-in player for Apple Music and Spotify. For DJs, musicians & bands Build your setlist from a shared track catalogue enriched with BPM, key, duration, streaming links, guitar tab and lyrics links. Drag tracks to set the running order, add per-track notes (capo, cue, custom key), and override any field for that specific show. Collaborative setlists Invite collaborators (band members, other DJs, clients) via email โ editors can add, remove and reorder tracks in real time. Let collaborators vote on which tracks to play โ for, against or no opinion โ to decide which tracks to keep for your big night. For fans Just came back from a show? Create a public setlist with the artist, venue, date, and every song in order โ complete with a concert photo. Share it with other fans, who can save it to their own collection.
