Gigs turns your concert history into a personal live music archive

Source: TechCrunch

People always hold up their phones to record special moments at concerts, but they often never revisit those videos. Gigs, a new concert‑tracking app launching this week, wants to change that. The iOS app helps live‑music fans turn their years of concerts, tickets, and photo and video memories into a personal archive with the help of Apple’s on‑device AI.

Adding Concerts

To add a concert to Gigs, users can import a ticket, email, screenshot, or even a website link, and the app will use Apple’s Foundation Models to extract the dates, venues, line‑ups, and other information to fill out the listing.

Importing Existing History

For those who already track their concert history elsewhere—such as Setlist.fm or Concert Archives—there’s an option to automatically import years of concert and festival attendance by linking their accounts.

Features

Once concerts have been added, users can:

• Sync dates to their personal calendar
• Get ticket‑sale reminders
• Browse expected set lists
• View additional info about the show or artist

When a concert ends, the app reminds the user to rate the show and upload photos, videos, and other artwork from the event.

Developer

Gigs was built by indie developer Hidde van der Ploeg, who previously worked on:

• The AI app Petey (creates Apple Music playlists)
• Music‑discovery app NowPlaying
• Helm for App Store Connect

With Gigs, he wanted to create an app for people who enjoy live music and could use help remembering their event history.

By organizing concert memories in Gigs, users can revisit favorite shows and gain insights about their concert history. The stats dashboard tracks categories such as:

• Most‑seen artists
• Favorite venues
• Most‑visited cities
• Busiest years
• Average ratings

Milestones celebrate the user’s journey (e.g., first 10 shows, 1,000 shows) based on their concert‑going habits.

• Designed for iOS 26 with a “Liquid Glass” look and feel
• Home Screen widgets for counting down to the next event
• Siri integration for checking upcoming shows, accessing tickets, or rating events via voice
• All shows indexed by Apple’s Spotlight for system‑wide search
