Setlists and songbooks, done right.
SetlistFlow reads your set's energy and tempo, optimizes its flow with pro recipes, or builds a whole set from your song bank. Then you hit the stage with big, clear lyrics, on any device, even offline.
How it works
From an empty page to stage-ready in three steps.
- 1
Build your song bank
Add each song once with its lyrics, chords, key, tempo and energy. Reuse them across every setlist, no retyping.
- 2
Shape the set
Drag songs into order, let FlowOptimizer shape the flow, or have FlowBuilder build a gig-ready set from scratch.
- 3
Perform anywhere
Play from a big, clear stage view on any phone, tablet or laptop, and export one file that opens offline at the gig.
Everything your set needs, in one place
From the song bank to the stage view, without spreadsheets or paper.
Song bank
Lyrics, chords, key, notes and categories for every song. Search instantly, reuse across every set.
Rich setlists
Medleys, A/B alternatives, optional songs, encores, breaks and cues.
Plan the set
Read the set's length and BPM/energy arc, get a friendly read on the flow, then optimize its flow with pro recipes or build a whole one from your songs.
Stage view
Big, readable lyrics with chords, one-tap font/line/column controls and a running clock. Search your whole repertoire to jump to any song, so you can take a request on the spot.
Yours and private
No account and nothing uploaded. Your songs stay on your device, ready whenever you are.
Play anywhere
Save your songbook as one file and open it on any phone, tablet or laptop at the gig, even with no internet.
Smart playlisting for your set
SetlistFlow reads the energy, tempo and length of your set and flags where it sags or jolts. From there it can optimize the running order of the set you have, with pro recipes and fresh variations to try, or build the whole set from scratch out of your song bank, encore and all. Two ways to a set that flows, before you ever hit the stage.

What's new
- v9.33Browse your songs by energy, tempo or length. The Perform Groups tab now groups your whole repertoire into slow, moderate and fast, low to high energy, or short, medium and long, so you can find the right song for the moment on stage. Chord sheets fit a phone screen at any stage font size, and set length estimates read in round half-minute steps.
- v9.32Transpose any song to your singer's key. On Pro, step a song's chords up or down right from Perform or the song editor, and the resulting key shows as you go. The songbook you export transposes on stage too.
- v9.31Find any song fast on stage. The new Find tab searches your whole repertoire as you type and jumps straight to a song, so you can take a request mid-gig. You can also browse your songs by role in the Groups tab.
Show older updates
- v9.30Set length controls. Set your default song length and between-song gap on the Setlists tab, so time estimates fit your show.
- v9.29Sharper recipes and a smoother graph. FlowBuilder and FlowOptimizer shape cleaner energy arcs, placing your openers, closers, favorites, deep cuts and long songs better, and FlowGraph now draws it all as a smooth flowing curve.
