For working bands

Paste your songs. Print the sheets the band actually needs.

Setlists.io matches every title to a real recording (key, tempo, length), times the whole set against your slot, and prints a stage sheet you can read from behind the kit.

It runs in your browser: nothing to install, and no account needed to build. An account is what carries your setlists between devices.

One setlist, many styles

The same songs, printed for four different people. The stage sheet is titles in huge type and nothing else, because the only question it answers is what is next. The band sheet carries keys and capos. Tech gets the running clock. Custom is every column there is, and you choose.

The stage sheet sizes its own type to fit a single page: 36 songs still print on one sheet, and it tells you when a set genuinely will not.

What it does

It reads your list the way you wrote it
Numbers, dashes, bullets, "Title — Artist", a key in brackets, a note about the segue. Paste it and the parse is shown back to you before a single row is created.
It finds the recording, and says when it is unsure
Every title is matched against Apple Music, with key and tempo from GetSongBPM. Where more than one recording is plausible (a remaster, a live cut, another band’s version), it flags the row and offers them, and the one you pick stays picked.
It knows how long the set runs
Song lengths, your own gaps between them, and the breaks you drop in, added up against the slot you were given. Change a key or drop a song and the running clock moves with it.
Your edits are yours
Play it in G when the record is in A? Type G. The looked-up value never overwrites what you typed, clearing a field keeps it cleared, and the reference stays underneath so you can always see what the original was.

What it does not do

Your setlists live in the browser you built them in until you sign in, so a link does not open on the drummer’s phone and nobody can edit a setlist alongside you. There is no mobile app; the site works on a phone, but the thing you take to the gig is the printout.
