Seriously, it's a powerhouse.

Everything Grayson needed to make his own gigs easier, built in and free.
No premium tier. No bullshit.
Each group shows the screen; each line links to the wiki page that explains it.

How it works

Three things. That's the whole app.

1 · Before the gig

Put in what you play.

Drop in your charts, PDFs, or photos, paste a list, or type. The app names the songs and fills in key, tempo and the rest. Set your minimum tip, once or per song. Print the QR code.

2 · At the gig

They scan, browse, request, tip.

No app, no account. The audience opens your page in their browser, finds the song, picks an amount, adds a note and pays with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card.

3 · On stage

You see the queue. You decide.

Requests land on every screen you own, bigger tips first, with the chart a tap away in your key. Every request is a suggestion. The tip is yours either way, and it clears in two business days.

Make more tips.
