Introduction

Bandleader.app is a complete toolkit for running a working band. It gives you one place to manage your song catalog, plan rehearsals and gigs, coordinate with members and subs, and track availability — and it gives your audience an interactive page to request songs, sign up for karaoke, leave feedback, and tip the band, all updating live during the show.

Every new band starts with a small set of sample data (a sample songbook, gig, and rehearsal) so you have something real to click around in immediately. You can remove it from the dashboard whenever you're ready to start adding your own. The first time you log in, a short guided tour will also walk you through the main areas of the admin panel — you can replay it anytime from the menu in the bottom-left corner.

How to Use This Documentation

This documentation is structured to help you get acquainted with all the features of the application. Each section is both descriptive (what a feature is and why you'd use it) and prescriptive (the exact steps to set it up). We recommend starting with the "Getting Started" guide and then exploring the detailed sections for the Admin Panel and Audience Page as needed.

• Getting Started: A step-by-step guide to building your repertoire, setting up your first gig, and going live.
• Admin Panel: A deep dive into every management page — gigs, rehearsals, availability, repertoire, songbooks, setlists, members & subs, suggestions, earnings, analytics, and settings.
• Audience Page: A complete overview of what your audience sees and how they can interact with the features you've enabled.
