Gigvault is the concert tracker for live music obsessives. Log every concert you've ever been to, track every setlist, and build a complete history of your gigs. It's the only concert tracker that gives you a Concert Wrapped after every single show — your stats, your top artists, your cities, your AI Music Identity, all in one shareable card. YOUR CONCERT DIARY Gigvault is a concert diary that fills itself in: a running concert list that grows with every night out, with the setlist attached to every show. Backfill the gigs you went to years ago or start with tonight — your concert diary stays searchable and stays yours. TRACK EVERY GIG Add a concert in seconds: artist, venue, city, date. Rate it, write down what you remember, tag the friends who were there. Your gig history stays searchable and sortable, from last night back to your very first show. FASTER START New here? Sign up, tap the plus, type the band. Venue, lineup and setlist are filled in for you, and your first Wrapped is ready in about a minute. Logging a concert now takes one screen. EVERY SETLIST, EVERY BAND See what was actually played. Gigvault brings up the setlist for the night you were there, song by song, so you can settle the argument about whether they really opened with that one. SETLIST TRACKING (PRO, BETA) Every song you've heard live, counted. Gigvault adds up the songs across all your setlists and shows your most-heard track, the songs you caught live for the first time this year and each band's anthems — the ones they played at nearly every show you saw. Backfill old gigs and the numbers fill in. CONCERT WRAPPED After every show you get a Wrapped: concerts counted, hours of live music, top artists, venues and cities, plus your AI Music Identity. Share it as an image or keep it to yourself. FREE, WITH NO LOGGING LIMIT Logging your concerts costs nothing. No ads, no credit card, no cap. On Gigvault your tenth, hundredth and thousandth concert are free. The free plan includes two photos per show; unlimited photos and video come with Pro. EVERY GENRE Rock, pop, metal, techno, hip-hop, jazz, classical, indie, punk, country, EDM — Gigvault works for every genre. Club show, arena night, open air or opera: if you were there, it goes in your concert diary. PHOTOS, FESTIVALS & HISTORY Attach photos and videos to each concert: ticket stubs, wristbands and the blurry front-row shot stay filed with the show they belong to. Log a festival as a single entry with every set inside it, and add your past concerts in bulk. COMMUNITY & GLOBAL DATABASE Follow other concert-goers and find out who else was at the same show. Artists, venues, cities and festivals worldwide, each with its own page.
