? FAQ

Questions, answered.

The short version: it's free during the beta, it works without venue Wi-Fi, and your old charts come with you.

Getting started

What is GigFrame?
GigFrame is live sheet music for bands — a performance app that puts your setlists, chords, lyrics and tempo cues on screen, designed to stay readable under stage lights. The on-stage Viewer runs on Android; the Studio editor runs in your browser at app.gigframe.app.
Which platforms does it run on?
The on-stage Viewer is an Android app, available now as a beta APK. The Studio editor is web-based and works in any modern desktop browser. An iOS version is on the roadmap — join the beta to be told when it lands.
Do I need a band to use it?
Not at all. Plenty of testers use GigFrame solo — a personal library, setlists and tempo-keyed auto-scroll, all self-contained. Band sync is there when you want it and invisible when you don't.

Pricing & beta

Is GigFrame free?
During the open beta, yes. You create a free account and get the full feature set plus a monthly AI-credit budget for smart import. The Free / Solo / Band / Pro tiers on the pricing page are a preview of what's planned once payments switch on.
When do paid plans start, and will I be charged?
Payments are currently parked — there's no card on file and nothing to pay today. We'll give plenty of notice before any tier becomes paid, and beta testers will hear first. The prices shown are indicative and may change.
What are AI credits?
Smart import runs on AI, so each account gets a monthly credit budget that covers a healthy number of scans. Everyday use — building sets, syncing, playing — doesn't touch credits at all.

Bands & sync

Do I need venue Wi-Fi for band sync?
No. GigFrame links players over the local network and is built to work even when the venue's Wi-Fi is flaky or absent. Page turns, jumps and stops land on every screen in well under a second.
How many players can sync at once?
The planned Band tier supports up to 8 players in a session; Pro raises that to 12 and beyond for larger ensembles and worship teams. During the beta these limits are open to testers.
Can everyone keep their own key and notes?
Yes. Transpose is per-player, so the capo guitarist and the horn section can each read in their key while staying in sync. Annotations can be shared with the band or kept private to one screen.

Import & migration

Can I bring my charts from OnSong or iReal Pro?
Yes — the migration wizard imports OnSong, iReal Pro and ChordPro libraries, keeping your keys, capos and arrangement order. You review each chart before it goes into a set.
How does scanning paper charts work?
Point your camera at a printed or handwritten chart and AI smart import reads the chords, section labels and lyrics into a clean, editable GigFrame sheet. You can fix anything before saving — it's a head start, not a black box.
Is my library backed up?
Cloud Sync keeps your library backed up and mirrored across your devices. Lose or replace a phone and your set is waiting when you sign back in.
Still stuck?
We read every message from beta testers.
