Concertgoers often capture endless photos and videos at live shows, only for those files to be buried and forgotten in their camera rolls. Gigs, a new iOS application launching this week, aims to solve this by transforming fragmented concert memories into a structured, personal archive powered by Apple’s on-device AI.
Streamlined Concert Tracking with AI
Adding events to the app is designed to be frictionless. Users can import screenshots, emails, tickets, or direct website links. The app leverages Apple’s Foundation Models to automatically parse and extract essential data, including event dates, venue locations, and artist lineups, populating the user’s digital history without manual entry.
For power users who have already documented their live music attendance, Gigs supports automated imports from platforms like Setlist.fm and Concert Archives, ensuring no historical data is left behind.
Beyond the Archive: Features and Insights
Once an event is logged, Gigs syncs the date to the user’s personal calendar and provides ongoing utility, such as ticket sale reminders and setlist previews. Post-concert, the app prompts users to rate their experience and upload relevant media, including photos and video clips.
The app includes a comprehensive stats dashboard that visualizes concert-going habits. Users can track metrics such as:
- Most-seen artists
- Favorite venues and cities
- Busiest concert years
- Average event ratings
Gamification elements are also integrated, offering milestones that celebrate the user’s journey as they reach show-count targets, ranging from their first 10 concerts to hitting the 1,000-show mark.
iOS Integration and Ecosystem
Built by independent developers Hidde van der Ploeg and Pol Piella—the team behind apps like NowPlaying and Helm for App Store Connect—Gigs is optimized for modern iOS standards. The app features a “Liquid Glass” design, home screen widgets for countdowns, and deep Siri integration for checking upcoming shows or rating events via voice commands. All data is indexed by Apple’s Spotlight for system-wide searchability.
Pricing and Availability
Gigs is available as a free download on the App Store. A premium tier is available for $2.99/month or $19.99/year, unlocking advanced features including unlimited media storage, data export, detailed insights, and historical data imports via CSV.
