Showgazed turns the shows you go to into tickets worth keeping. Log a show in seconds — type one line ("Turnstile at Moody Amphitheater") or scan a photo of your ticket, poster, or screenshot, and Showgazed matches it against setlist.fm to fill in the artist, venue, and date. Rate every show 1 to 4 stars, write a short review, and mark whether it was your first time seeing the artist, a repeat, or a set you caught by surprise. Shows print as ticket-shaped cards in your archive — each one gets its own look, and it never changes. Add a photo from the night and it prints alongside your ticket. Follow friends to see their shows in your feed, get notified when they log something you were both at, and find your most common show mates. Went to a show together? Suggest it to them in the app — or text them an invite link, and when they join, the show is waiting for them to log. Festivals are tracked as their own thing, so a weekend of sets stays organized as one event. Your profile includes a stats dashboard — shows by month and year, your most-seen artists and venues, top festivals, and a rating breakdown — plus a favorite-four shelf for the shows that meant the most. Share any single show, or your whole archive, as a story-style image. Questions or feedback? hello@showgazed.com
