What is giggd?

giggd is the backstage app for working musicians. It keeps track of your gigs and your money, and if you run a band, it handles the bookings, the split and the paperwork too.

What you can do

Section titled “What you can do”

Track your own gigs

  • Log gigs with the band, venue, date, set length and pay.
  • Add expenses as they happen: fuel, food, accommodation, gear.
  • Record what you were actually paid, in cash or by bank transfer.
  • See your real profit, what bandmates owe you, and which gigs paid short.
  • Download PDF reports and plain-English cost analysis.

Run your act

  • Create your band, duo or solo act and invite the people you play with.
  • Create bookings, sort the lineup and get everyone’s yes or no.
  • Split the fee privately: equal shares, fixed dep fees, percentages, GST and super.
  • Send the venue a confirmation they can accept with one click.
  • Issue numbered invoices to the venue and receive invoices from the band.
  • Record what’s been received and paid out, so nobody has to chase a spreadsheet.

What giggd doesn’t do

Section titled “What giggd doesn’t do”
  • It doesn’t move money. Pay and get paid the way you always have, then record it in giggd.
  • It isn’t tax advice. giggd does the GST and super arithmetic for the settings you choose. Your accountant decides what applies.
  • It doesn’t lodge BAS or tax returns, run payroll, or submit super to a fund.

Money in giggd is in Australian dollars.
