App comparisons & alternatives

Turning the gig book into an app

The gig book is a ring binder with three hundred charts, half of them in the wrong order, and a pencil clipped to the cover. Digitising it works if you keep the two things that made it good: instant access and instant marking.

Instant access

Search by title or composer, or open tonight's setlist and never touch the library at all.

Instant marking

Apple Pencil annotation replaces the clipped pencil, with the advantage that a cut written at soundcheck can reach the whole band before downbeat.

No lost pages

Nothing falls out of a digital binder, and with Pro sync the book exists on your iPhone as a backup.

Try it on your own scores

Import PDF scores, add annotations, build setlists and turn pages hands-free. StageMate is available for Apple devices and Android. Features, cloud services and Pro purchases differ by platform; check the current plan before buying.
