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.
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, lineups, and other information to fill out the listing.
For those who already track their concert history elsewhere, like Setlist.fm or Concert Archives, there’s the option to automatically import years of concert and festival attendance by linking their accounts.
Once the concerts have been added to the app, users can sync those dates to their personal calendar, get ticket sale reminders, browse expected set lists, and view other info about the show or artist. When the concert ends, the app reminds the user to rate the show as well as upload photos, videos, and other artwork from the event.
Gigs was built by indie developer Hidde van der Ploeg, who previously worked on the AI app Petey, which makes Apple Music playlists; music discovery app NowPlaying; Helm for App Store Connect; and other mobile applications. 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 have the option of revisiting favorite shows from their past while also gaining more insights about their concert history. Through the app’s stats dashboard, users can track categories such as most-seen artists, favorite venues, most-visited cities, busiest years, and average ratings. The app also includes milestones to celebrate the user’s journey along the way — like once they’ve seen their first 10 shows or when passed 1,000, depending on what sort of concertgoer they are.
The app is designed for iOS 26 with a Liquid Glass look and feel, and includes Home Screen widgets for counting down to the next event. Siri integration lets users check on upcoming shows, access tickets, or rate events via voice. Plus, all shows are indexed by Apple’s Spotlight for system-wide search, and the app includes multiple custom icons.
Gigs is a free download with a $2.99/month in-app purchase that unlocks extra features, like data export, achievements, deeper insights, unlimited storage for photos and videos, and support for importing concert history from other services, or through a CSV file. A $19.99/year subscription is also available, or Gigs can be bundled with NowPlaying for further discounts.
