Prepare the music. Ready the band. Run the operation.

Music workflow
Repertoire that can actually be rehearsed.
Blackwires connects songs, structures, documents, member copies, media references, recordings, voting and setlists so preparation stays tied to the songs the band will play.
- Band and private repertoire with status, key, BPM, duration, genre, tags and song notes.
- Song structure blocks for intros, verses, choruses, solos, codas, chords, bars and instrument cues.
- Documents for charts, lyrics, cue sheets, coda maps, stems, images, MusicXML and performer guidance.
- Member work areas for personal copies, preferred keys, performance notes and coda guidance.
- Media references and embedded playback for demos, rehearsal takes, backing tracks, live references and videos.
From plan to performance
Every rehearsal and gig gets a clearer route.
The workflow joins event planning, availability, setlist preparation, readiness, run mode and recap. It is built for bands that need fewer forgotten details before people arrive in the room.
Plan
Create rehearsals, gigs, studio sessions, writing days or meetings with location, status and room details.
Check
Collect availability, absences and member replies before readiness assumptions become risky.
Prepare
Attach a reusable setlist, assign song tasks, review documents and confirm media or chart gaps.
Run
Use Run Room and Action Mode for rehearsal, gig or studio work with charts, cues, media and issues beside the set.
Improve
Save recap, issue notes, work logs and tasks so the next rehearsal starts from what the band learned.
Beyond the setlist
The operational layer around the music.
Blackwires is intentionally broader than a chart reader. It gives the band practical places for the supporting work that usually scatters across messages, folders and memory.
Stage plot and technical needs
Member positions, input notes, monitors, power needs, backline details and event-specific rider packs.
Personal and shared inventory
Instruments, pedals, mics, cases, values, manuals, reference links, band sharing and equipment catalog coverage.
Places and contact history
Clubs, festivals, studios, addresses, map details, ratings, notes, contacts and interaction history.
Photos, files and storage
Band photos, song media, documents, recordings and cloud connections for Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and Box.
Shared cost planning
Expected expenses, revenues and member shares for rehearsal rooms, subscriptions, storage and gigs.
Band conversation in context
Band chat stays close to the workspace so decisions can connect back to songs, events, media and tasks.
Less guessing before the room
Availability, missing replies, task pressure, document gaps and open song blockers make preparation visible.
Clear member access and ownership
Band roles, permissions and visibility keep shared work open to the right people while private musician material stays personal.
Mobile-first release
Offline pack

Language
Designed for the desk, the rehearsal room and the stage.
The mobile workspace is designed for the places musicians actually work. Setlists, song details, structures, documents and personal copies can remain readable through the offline setlist pack when connection quality drops.
Setlist confidence
Mobile-first offline access keeps key setlist and song material readable when edits need to wait for a connection.
Self-practice tools
Practice timer, logs, backing tracks, recordings and recording library support personal preparation between band sessions.
English and German app copy
The app already contains English and German interface wording with theme preferences for light, dark or automatic mode.
