Your gigs, your call
12 September 2026
Four updates went live today. They share one idea: Gigflow, the gig diary and tax tracker for UK performers, should record what you tell it and nothing else.
Choose the status when you save
The Add gig form now finishes with a single button, Save as confirmed, and a quiet link beneath it, Save as enquiry. If the gig date has already passed, the button reads Save as completed instead. There's no default and nothing tucked away in a menu; the status you mean is the one that's stored, and it's visible at the moment you commit it.
This matters more than it looks. Confirmed gigs feed your booked income and forecast. Completed gigs feed your tax summary and the CSV your accountant gets. Those figures should come from choices you made, not from a form filling in the gap.
Gig type and agency start empty
Previously a new gig picked up the same type as your last one. Now it starts blank until you set it, so a wedding never inherits "pub" from the gig before. If you work with a single agency we still pre-select it, because that can't be wrong. If you have several, you choose.
Money says "nothing yet" instead of "£0"
A brand-new account used to see £0, 0 gigs and a green "All caught up" tick before its first gig had even happened. That's technically true and completely unhelpful. The Money and Home screens now read "Nothing earned yet" and point at your first gig date, and the tick only appears once there's something to be caught up on.
The welcome screen quotes this year's mileage rate
HMRC's approved rate went up to 55p a mile in April. The app was already calculating at 55p, but the intro slide still said 45p. It now reads the rate from the same place the calculation does, so the two can't disagree again.
Existing gigs
Nothing you've already saved has changed. Gig type and status sit at the top of each gig's page if you want to review them; both are one tap to edit.
Next
Two more from the same review are queued: postcode lookup at sign-up, so your home address is confirmed before your first gig, and a tighter commission summary on the Money overview.
Gigflow is free for your first ten gigs, no card needed. If you'd like to see what it does with yours, it's at app.gigflow.co.uk.
