How to make an app for a DJ

In the wedding season a DJ can have three gigs in a weekend, each with a different venue, package, advance and song list. An app keeps the calendar, the money still to collect and what to load on the truck in one place on your phone.

Updated 2026-11-09

Who uses the app

Mostly the DJ and maybe a manager. If only you use it, the data can stay on your phone. If your manager takes bookings on another phone, or your crew should see the gig list, connect a Supabase database so everyone sees the same calendar.

The screens a DJ app needs

Calendar: Booked dates by month, with the venue, event type and timings; free dates stand out
Gig details: The host's name and phone, venue, package, set times, advance paid and balance due
Song list: The family's must-play and do-not-play songs, the couple's entry song and the first dance
Equipment: A checklist of speakers, lights and effects to load for each gig
Payments: Advances and balances by gig, and who still owes money after the event
Enquiries: Dates people asked about, the price you quoted and whether they confirmed

Features worth asking for

A warning when a new booking clashes with a date already taken
A WhatsApp button that sends the host the gig details and the balance due
Song lists per event, with a tick when a request has been played
An equipment checklist by package, so nothing is left at the godown
A booking confirmation as a PDF with the package, date and advance received
A season summary: gigs played and money collected by month

Where the data lives

If you are the only one using it, the data can stay on your phone and works offline at the venue. If a manager or crew members use it on their own phones, connect your own Supabase database from the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

Decide what the app does. List the screens you need, for example: Calendar, Gig details, Song list, Equipment, Payments.
Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, changed to your own business and details.
Check the plan. AppCub shows the screens and features it will build. Change them in the chat until they are right; seeing the plan is free.
Try it on your phone. The app runs live next to the chat. Scan the QR code to install it, and ask for changes.
Share it. Share it as a web link, an APK file, or publish it on Google Play from your own developer account.

Copy this request, change the details to match your DJ, and paste it into AppCub:

Make an app for my DJ business, DJ Karan Beats in Ludhiana. Screens: calendar, gig details, song list, equipment, payments and enquiries. Each gig has a host name and phone, venue, event type (sangeet, baraat, cocktail, birthday), package, start and end time, advance and balance. Warn me if two gigs are on the same date. Keep a song list per gig with must-play and do-not-play songs. Add an equipment checklist by package. A WhatsApp button sends the host the gig details. Make a booking confirmation PDF. Dark colours with neon blue.

Tips for a DJ app

Start with the calendar and gig details; add the equipment list and season summary once the first few gigs are in.
Enter the coming season's bookings from your diary on day one, so the clash warning is useful at once.
Ask for the song list to be shareable as a PDF, so the family can check it before the event.
Keep one equipment checklist per package, then tick extras like the cold pyro for a single gig.
Test it on one weekend's gigs before you stop using your diary.

Good to know

AppCub doesn't connect to your DJ software, playlists or lighting console, and it doesn't message clients by itself, though the installed app can also show you a reminder on your own phone at a set time. The app keeps the business side: dates, money, songs and equipment.
AppCub builds Android apps. You can also share the app as a web link that opens on any phone; for the iPhone App Store, AppCub’s team can do it for you.

Questions

Can the app stop me from double-booking a date?

Yes. Ask for a warning when a new gig falls on a date already taken; you can still allow two small events in one day if you want.

Can the family send their song list in the app?

If the app is for you only, you type in the list they send on WhatsApp. If you want families to add songs themselves, the app needs a Supabase database and sign-in.

Can it connect to my DJ software?

No. AppCub doesn't link to DJ software or music files. Keep the song list in the app and build the playlist in your software.

Can I track advances and balances?

Yes. Each gig has the package price, the advance paid and the balance, and a list shows who still owes money after the event.

Can the crew see where to go?

Yes, if the app uses a Supabase database and the crew install it. Each gig can have a Google Maps link to the venue.
