About

BandSchedule

Being in a band is great. Trying to schedule a rehearsal with four musicians, three jobs, two drummers and one bassist who β€œcan maybe do Tuesday after 11:47pm” is less great. Band Schedule solves the ancient problem of musicians trying to agree on a time. Everyone adds the days and hours they’re free. The app quietly does the maths and finds the best rehearsal slot for the whole band. No spreadsheets. No endless group chats. No messages like: β€œCan everyone do Thursday?” β€œNot this Thursday.” β€œWhat about next Thursday?” β€œI can do half a Thursday.” Just open the app, add your availability, and lock the rehearsal. More playing. Less scheduling. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://rehearsal.automatica.digital/privacy.html
