Hi there👋 I play bass and drums in a few bands, and BandBinder started because our rehearsal notes never survived past rehearsal. We'd work out an arrangement change, someone would jot it in a group chat or a paper binder, and by the next gig it was gone. Meanwhile the setlist lived in one app, the charts in another, and half the band was on Android while someone else swore by their iPhone. OnSong is great if your whole band is on Apple. SongbookPro is the real cross-platform benchmark and I have a lot of respect for it. Neither is really built for the part where a song changes shape - the notes you scribble mid-rehearsal that decide how you actually play it live. BandBinder carries a song through that whole arc: import a chart, mark it up together during rehearsal, then flip to a stripped-down, fully offline Performance Mode for the gig itself. Same app on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. It's free on every device, forever - no song limit, no ads. You only pay if you want your library synced across devices and shared with your bandmates, and it's priced per band, not per person, so a 5-piece isn't paying 5x for one app. I'm building this solo in my spare time between rehearsals, so I'd genuinely love to hear from other musicians here - what's broken about your current setup, what you've cobbled together instead, what would make you switch. Ask me anything.
