Concert Log App — keep a log of every show
Gigvault is the concert log app for serious live music fans. Keep a comprehensive log of every show you've attended — dates, venues, setlists, photos, notes, and stats. Native iOS app, Android app, and full web access. Free forever, ad-free, privacy-first.
How to keep a concert log that actually survives
The number-one reason concert logs fail is friction. If logging a show takes more than 60 seconds, you stop doing it. Gigvault's log is designed around 30-second entries: search artist, tap "I was there." Venue, support acts, and setlist auto-fill. The reason concert logs in Apple Notes, Google Sheets, or paper journals always die is because there's no auto-fill — every log takes 5-10 minutes of manual data entry.
What goes in your concert log
Each log entry captures: date, venue, city, country, headliner, every support act (each separately tracked), full setlist in play order, photos and videos, 1-5 star rating, personal notes, and tagged friends. Festival weekends get logged set-by-set — Glastonbury with 22 sets becomes 22 log entries, not 1. This matters for stats, top-artist rankings, and Concert Wrapped accuracy.
The best concert log apps compared
The dedicated concert log space has narrowed dramatically: Songkick killed its standalone app, Bandsintown focuses on discovery (not logging), Last.fm tracks streaming not attendance. Gigvault is the only modern app built specifically for concert logging with native iOS, native Android, and a polished web experience — all free.
Concert log vs concert diary vs setlist tracker
These three things sound similar but serve different jobs. A concert log is a structured list of shows (date, artist, venue). A concert diary adds emotional context: photos, ratings, notes about how the night felt. A setlist tracker focuses on which songs were played. Gigvault combines all three — you don't have to choose.
Frequently asked questions about concert logging

How do I log every concert I've been to?
Use Gigvault: search the artist, pick the date (often only one show matches), tap "I was there." Venue and setlist auto-fill. Each log takes about 30 seconds. Backfill old shows in batches by decade.
Is there a free app to log concerts?
Yes — Gigvault is free forever. No paywalls, no ads, no premium tier. Native apps on iOS and Android, full web at gigvault.app.
What's the best way to keep a concert log?
The best concert log is one you'll actually maintain. That means: low friction (30-second entries), auto-fill (no typing venue addresses), syncs across devices, never gets deleted. Dedicated apps like Gigvault beat spreadsheets every time.
