TrouperList

TrouperList is the CRM built specifically for working performers. Whether you're a magician, musician, comedian, juggler, or speaker, TrouperList keeps your business organized so you can focus on the show. SET LISTS & SHOW PLANNING Build your set by dragging and reordering routines, pull a saved template in one tap, or copy the lineup from a previous show with the same client. TIMING INTELLIGENCE Stop guessing how long your show will run. TrouperList learns your real performance times from a rolling 10-show average and shows you the total runtime as you build your set — so your 45-minute show actually lands in 45 minutes. REPEAT DETECTION The routine picker flags when a client has already seen a piece, right in the UI — no more accidentally re-performing the same trick, song, or bit for the same audience. CONTACTS & BOOKING Keep clients, venues, and leads in one searchable list. Log notes, track history, and build your set directly from a contact's record. INVOICING & MONEY Track what every show pays, what it costs (supplies, travel, prop costs), and your net margin. Generate clean, print-ready invoices with your business info baked in. REMINDERS & CALENDAR Get a push notification before every show so you never miss a call time. Subscribe to your private calendar URL in Apple Calendar or Google Calendar. RUN-OF-SHOW SHEETS Print a mobile-friendly run-of-show before every gig — set order, timing, venue details, and contacts on one shareable page. CUSTOM FIELDS Track anything specific to your act: contract status, lead source, required songs, prop manifest. Up to 25 custom fields per record type. BUILT FOR YOUR ACT Tell TrouperList what kind of performer you are and the app speaks your language. "Routine" becomes "Song" for musicians, "Bit" for comedians, "Talk" for speakers. FREE TO START TrouperList is free for up to 25 shows, 25 contacts, and 10 routines. Upgrade for 1,000 shows, 1,000 contacts, 500 routines, 100 saved set lists, and 25 custom fields per record type. Cancel any time from Settings.
