For working musicians and instrumental teachers
The admin of a musical life, done on the way home.
Gigfolio holds the diary, the invoices and the money for people who play for a living, and the lessons, practice notes and parents for people who teach. Most musicians do both, so it does both.

Where it runs
iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web
The iPad and Mac apps are made for the teaching room: the day's timeline beside the open lesson, a now bar that shows how long is left, and keyboard shortcuts for everything. The iPhone app and widgets carry the day with you. The web app is for desk work: plans, policies, invoices and the books.
Data is held in the United Kingdom. Pupils never have logins; parents see only their own child. Private teacher notes never leave the app. The full data-protection terms are published with the product.
Gigfolio is in a closed beta with a small group of musicians and teachers. Ask us about joining.
