Gigs turns your concert history into a personal live music archive

In an era where concert-goers often capture unforgettable moments on their phones yet rarely revisit those recordings, a new app called Gigs aims to revolutionize this experience. Set to launch this week, this innovative iOS application allows music enthusiasts to create a personalized archive of their concert history, utilizing Apple’s advanced on-device AI technology. To get started with Gigs, users can easily import information from tickets, emails, screenshots, or even website links. The app leverages Apple’s Foundation Models to extract vital details such as dates, venues, and lineups, seamlessly compiling them into an organized listing. For those already keeping track of their concert experiences on platforms like Setlist.fm or Concert Archives, Gigs offers a convenient option to automatically import years' worth of concert data by linking their accounts. Once concerts are added, users can sync these dates with their personal calendars and receive notifications for ticket sales. The app also provides access to anticipated set lists and additional show details. After attending a concert, Gigs prompts users to rate the experience and upload any photos, videos, or artwork from the event. The brainchild of indie developer Hidde van der Ploeg, known for creating the AI app Petey and the music discovery tool NowPlaying, Gigs is designed for those who cherish live music and wish to preserve their event history. The app not only allows users to revisit memorable shows but also offers insights into their concert-going habits. Through a comprehensive stats dashboard, users can track metrics such as their most-seen artists, favorite venues, and busiest years, along with average ratings. To celebrate milestones, Gigs features achievements that mark significant moments in a user's concert journey, such as their first ten shows or surpassing one thousand concerts attended. The app boasts a sleek Liquid Glass design for iOS 26 and comes with Home Screen widgets that countdown to upcoming events. With Siri integration, users can easily check their event schedule, access tickets, and rate shows using voice commands. Furthermore, all concerts are indexed by Apple’s Spotlight, enhancing search functionality within the system, and users can choose from multiple custom icons. Gigs is available for free download, with an optional $2.99 monthly subscription that unlocks premium features like data export, achievements, deeper insights, unlimited storage for photos and videos, and support for importing concert histories from other platforms or via CSV files. Users can also opt for a $19.99 annual subscription or bundle Gigs with NowPlaying for additional savings.
