The setlist management app
for working musicians and bands.
SetBook is the all-in-one setlist builder, gig scheduling tool, and band collaboration platform for musicians. Organize your chord chart library, build setlists that adapt per gig, schedule shows, invite bandmates, and track pay — on web or mobile.
Download on the App StoreHow SetBook works
SetBook replaces the spreadsheets, group texts, scattered PDFs, and separate calendar apps that working musicians juggle every week. Here’s how it fits into your workflow in four simple steps.
- 1
Build your chord chart library
Add every song you play to your personal chart library. Each chart stores the title, artist, original key, tempo, tags, and your chord notes or lead sheet. Link to Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Dropbox, or Google Drive so you can pull up the original recording with one tap. Bulk import a list of songs to get started fast — SetBook auto-detects duplicates so you never chart the same tune twice.

Build setlists that adapt per gig
Drag songs from your library into a setlist. Reorder with drag-and-drop, add set breaks, and override the key or notes for a specific gig without changing the original chart. Need to play “Wagon Wheel” in B-flat for one bride and in G for the next wedding? Override per setlist — your master chart stays clean. Switch to Stage View on the night of the gig for a clean, distraction-free display optimized for reading off a music stand or tablet.

Schedule gigs and invite your band
Create a gig with date, venue, call time, dress code, compensation, and notes. Attach a setlist. Invite bandmates by name or send a shareable link — they can RSVP without creating an account. Assign roles (drums, bass, vocals, MD), and SetBook tells you who’s available based on their other gigs. Your gigs sync automatically to Apple Calendar and Google Calendar, so you and your band always know what’s coming up.

Track pay and run your music business
Set per-member pay on each gig and mark musicians as paid when checks go out. SetBook’s earnings dashboard shows what you’ve earned, what’s pending, and what’s upcoming — with PDF and CSV export for your accountant at tax time. Automatic payment reminders go out for gigs that have been overdue for more than a week, so you never have to chase a band leader for money you’re owed.
Built for working musicians
Whether you play 200 weddings a year, lead a worship team on Sundays, or tour with an original band, SetBook adapts to how you work.
Cover bands & wedding bands
Manage hundreds of charts, pull together a custom setlist for each event, and override keys for vocalists who need different tunings. Send gig details to subs in one tap.
Worship teams & music directors
Coordinate weekly rotations, share setlists with the team, and let everyone view charts on stage. Invite volunteers and track who’s playing each week. Organizations get team billing and role-based access.
Touring & original artists
Keep your tour schedule, setlists, and pay tracking in one place. Hand subs a pre-built chart library before a fly date. Calendar sync keeps your team aligned across timezones.
Session players & freelancers
Keep all your charts in one searchable library. Track which gigs you’ve been paid for and which are still owed. Export earnings to CSV at tax time.
