Common friction
What this solves
02
Notifications come via WhatsApp or email but without direct operational context
03
Having to switch to a laptop to update a detail before an event
04
Expensive store apps that require separate plans for mobile and desktop
05
Web interfaces not optimised for phones that require zooming and horizontal scrolling
Definition
What is a mobile app (PWA) for bands and musicians?
A mobile PWA for bands and musicians is management software you install on the phone without app stores, with a home-screen icon and push notifications. In BandCalendar you check calendar, events and team on the go and can save documents offline; it is not a separate paid app or a 1:1 desktop clone.
Workflow
How it works in BandCalendar
1
Install in one tap
Open BandCalendar in your phone browser, tap 'Add to Home Screen' and the icon appears like a native app.
2
Enable notifications
Allow push notifications and receive alerts for upcoming events, payment deadlines and reminders.
3
Check the calendar
See upcoming dates, open the event detail, check lineup, timings and address without opening a laptop.
4
Update on the fly
When online, add notes, documents or operational updates from your phone wherever you are.
5
Prepare documents offline
From Documents, save single files or whole categories to open them without a network; live operations still need connectivity.

Event calendar
An operational calendar for musicians and bands that connects sales pipeline, clients, gigs, rehearsals, tasks, reminders, lineups, documents, Excel export and personal Google Calendar and Apple Calendar/iCloud sync.
Event management
Every BandCalendar event is a full operational record: client, commercial overview, services and programme, lineups and notifications, documents, Finances, to-dos, setlists, logistics, food and accommodation, notes and history.
Collaborators and lineups
Manage the band's real lineup: core musicians, substitutes, extra collaborators, roles, instruments, lineups, projects, linked events, payments, documents and different team permissions.
Fees and Finances
Track event money on two clear layers: client collections and customer refunds (commercial documents and the Finances tab), and collaborator fees with advances, line items, withholding and expense reimbursements. Summaries by period, event or musician.
Documents and media
Organize PDFs, riders, contracts, quotes, images, audio, video, versions and public links in a cloud archive connected to clients, events, collaborators, lineups and projects, with contextual upload dialogs, PWA offline and controlled collaborator visibility on the event.
Tasks, rehearsals and reminders
The To-do area brings together Kanban tasks, rehearsals and reminders: priorities, due dates, assignees, checklists, comments and recurrences, linked to clients, events, projects and lineups. Rehearsals have place, times and participants; to pick the date there is the WhatsApp availability poll.
Data backup and archive
Two separate tools: the data backup, to go back after a mistake with a restore guided by a preview, and the full archive with files, a ZIP with data, documents, photos and emails to browse in the browser, even offline and without BandCalendar.
FAQ
Questions before starting
Do I need to download it from the App Store or Google Play?
No. BandCalendar is a PWA (Progressive Web App): it installs directly from your phone browser without going through the stores.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The PWA is compatible with Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. Installation takes just a few seconds.
Do I get push notifications?
Yes. You can enable push notifications for alerts on upcoming events, payment deadlines, reminders and tasks.
Can I use it without a connection?
From Documents you can explicitly save files or categories for offline viewing. Calendar, search and other API-based operations need connectivity; if a page cannot be reached you see an offline screen with retry.
Does mobile cost extra?
No. Mobile access is included in all plans, with no extra cost and no separate subscription.
Are the features the same as desktop?
The main management sections stay available on mobile with a touch-optimised UI. Longer desktop-style work (document editor, dense tables) is still easier on a large screen: it is not a 1:1 desktop layout clone.
