BandHelper

The BandHelper app works with your BandHelper account to share info with your bandmates, streamline your management duties and power your live show.

ALL THE INFO YOUR BAND NEEDS TO SHARE
Load your BandHelper account with your songs, set lists, lyrics, chord charts, reference recordings, videos, notes, events and contact info and they appear on all of your bandmates' mobile devices automatically. If inspiration strikes during a rehearsal, make a quick recording in the app and that will be synced, too. With this info at everyone's fingertips, you'll spend less time remembering what you talked about at the last rehearsal and more time becoming a better band.

YOUR COMMAND CENTER ON STAGE
BandHelper is as useful on stage as it is in the practice room. Auto-scroll lyrics, play backing tracks and click tracks through separate audio ports or inter-app audio, and configure MIDI-compatible sound and lighting equipment as you move from song to song. You can control BandHelper with MIDI or Bluetooth footswitches, and link your bandmates' devices for screen sharing or remote control on stage.

TIME-SAVING FEATURES FOR BAND LEADERS
Scheduling gigs is a snap with BandHelper's automated email messages to ask your bandmates' availability, send updates if the details of a gig change, and send reminders before the gig. You can set up checklists to help promote or pack for a gig, and build stage plots with a drag-and-drop interface. And splitting the money after a gig is easy with BandHelper's features to track income and expenses and calculate each band member's share of the profit.

MOBILE, WEB AND WATCH INTERFACES
Besides its native mobile apps, BandHelper includes a web interface for efficient data entry, and an Apple Watch app for quick access on the go. You can update your band's data from any device connected to your account, and BandHelper will sync it to all the others automatically.

Join thousands of bands around the world who have gotten more organized with BandHelper!

Version 2022-09-16 release notes

- Added support for FLAC audio files. - Added a Remove From Server option to the document, recording and file edit pages when you turn on the Copy to Devices Manually option for an item that already has a file uploaded. You can use this to remove a file from the server to reduce your online storage if you previously uploaded a file, then decided later to use manual distribution. If you have already uploaded a file and turned on Copy To Devices Manually, you can turn that option off, then on again, to show the Remove From Server option. - When selecting a file for a new document or recording, removed the step of viewing files that have been copied into the app's data directory but not uploaded into your account. It's easier to select a file directly from your local device or cloud storage, so we recommend that workflow instead. - Updated the document and recording buttons after manually downloading a missing file so you can view or play the file on the next click. - Updated the Standard MIDI File button on the recording and MIDI preset edit pages to allow selecting an existing MIDI file. - Disabled the Hide Lyrics Field option on the Notes viewer.
