The best setlist app built for working musicians. Tailored to exactly what you need on stage, SetNotes is developed in cooperation with internationally touring artists, session musicians, and tour managers. Whether you’re playing a massive gig with too many chord changes to keep in your head, or prepping for a last-minute subbing gig where you need a foolproof system for song structures, SetNotes has you covered. No need to bring a massive iPad on stage anymore – unless you want to, because SetNotes looks great there too. ARE YOU A TOUR MANAGER? Keep track of your setlists, easily share them with the band, and enjoy custom-scripted PDF exports that automatically utilize the entire page. No more juggling font sizes just to fill the sheet. KEY FEATURES: STAGE READY: Performance Mode keeps your screen unlocked and blocks accidental taps while you play. Choose between full screen mode with metronome available or scrolling mode to keep the cards stacked underneath each other. BUILT-IN TOOLS: A metronome that keeps clicking with your screen locked, and a piano keyboard right in the song editor for checking chords and starting notes. MUSICIAN-CENTRIC LAYOUT: A well-thought-out design for notes and editing, tailored to give you the exact information you need at a glance. INSTANT SHARING: Share full, interactive setlists with bandmates in seconds via text, mail, or AirDrop using smart links. DYNAMIC PDF EXPORT: Automatically generate beautifully scaled PDFs that fill the page for maximum readability on paper. ICLOUD SYNC: Create and organize your setlists on your Mac, and find them fully synced on your iPhone instantly.
