What’s inside
Three tabs that cover the parts of gigging a notes app always drops:
- Gigs — date, venue, fee, and payment status for every show you book or perform, so nothing slips through the cracks.
- Set Timer — drop in your routine times once and it totals a set against your target slot. No more mental math backstage.
- Clients — the gold. When someone re-books, you can see in five seconds what you did and what you charged last time.
How to get the most out of it
- Log a gig the night you book it, not the night you perform it. Future-you will thank you.
- Fill in your routine times once and let the Set Timer do the adding up — your “five-minute bit” is probably closer to seven. (More on this: how to time your set to the slot.)
- Treat the Clients tab as your re-booking cheat sheet. It turns “let me check my notes” into an instant, confident quote.
A spreadsheet gets you surprisingly far. Where it breaks down is repeat gigs, your phone, and remembering the details a year later — which is exactly the itch that made us build TrouperList. Grab the tracker first; when you outgrow it, it’ll be obvious.
