You open a gig diary app at odd moments. In the car park before load-in, between sets, on the sofa the morning after a wedding. In those moments you want three answers quickly: where you are next, what’s coming this week, and who still owes you money. The old Home made you tap around to find them.
So we rebuilt Home around those answers.
What’s new
Next gig. A card at the top with your next booking and its date. If nothing is booked, it offers “Add your next gig”.
Next 7 days. Every gig in the coming week as a short row, with a link to “All gigs”.
To do. A short list of money and setup tasks: checking whether a gig was paid, sending an invoice, paying an agency’s commission, and setup jobs such as adding your agencies or connecting your calendar.
Not paid yet. Gigs you’ve played that haven’t been paid in full, with a running total and a “See all” link.
How it works
Each section only appears when it has something in it. A brand new account sees a calm screen with the next gig and a couple of tasks, not a wall of empty boxes.
To do shows one money task of each kind at a time, starting with the most recent gig. The rest wait in “Not paid yet”. That list looks back over the last twelve months, so a March gig that’s still unpaid in May doesn’t drop off when the tax year turns over. Tap “See all” to open the full list of what you’re owed. Answer a payment check and the row ticks and folds away.
Why it matters
Chasing money is the part of the job nobody books a singer for. A Home screen that puts unpaid gigs and unsent invoices in front of you, with one tap to deal with each, means fewer forgotten fees and less scrolling at midnight.
