Rep Jam Gig

Release Notes

What's changed.

What's different between released versions of Rep Jam Gig, newest first. This covers the app itself — not the website you're reading this on.

Last updated 24 August 2026

Version 2.2

24 August 2026

Added

  • A Calendar tab. Plan the jam sessions you mean to go to and see them on a month at a glance. Repeats work the way jam nights actually do — every Wednesday, every 2 weeks, the third Monday or last Wednesday of the month — with custom patterns for anything else. Star a session to pin it to the top of its day, and edit, star or delete one session of a series or the whole series, like iPhone Calendar.
  • Search the calendar by a session's name, place, notes or repeat rule, and jump straight to its next date.
  • Import a calendar file. Bring in an .ics from any calendar app — a venue's published schedule, a shared jam list — and every repeat rule lands intact. Re-importing updates rather than duplicates. Nothing is fetched; you pick the file.
  • Log a planned session as a jam in one tap, with the date and venue already filled in.
  • Export All Data now includes your calendar as an .ics alongside the CSV.
  • Musician names suggest themselves when logging a jam or gig, with the instrument you last noted for them.
  • Instruments group by what they mean: "keys" and "piano", "sax" and "saxophone" count as one instrument, however you wrote them.
  • New songs start as Want to Learn instead of Performance Ready.
  • The import template explains itself. The CSV you download now opens with instructions saying exactly which columns each row type uses, next to a filled example of each — and the importer ignores the instruction lines, so they can stay in the file. There's also a step-by-step import guide.

Changed

  • The Review tab is gone. A song you perform that isn't already catalogued goes straight into In Progress, with credits filled in from the songbook. Anything that was waiting on your Review tab is filed the same way the first time 2.2 opens — nothing is lost.
  • Jams has a new icon (music notes); the calendar icon now belongs to the Calendar tab.

Fixed

  • Short titles like "Autumn Leaves" find their songbook credits again, and the songbook no longer lists 39 songs twice.
  • Picking a songbook match no longer fills in the chart key as though it were your performance key.
  • Renaming a musician follows them into your past jams and gigs instead of leaving a duplicate entry.
  • Accented titles and names now match their plain spellings, and capitalisation no longer creates duplicate genre or instrument chips.
  • Plain "bass" gets the upright bass icon; bassoon, bass clarinet, bass trombone and bass drum keep their own.
  • A set list builder genre chip no longer reads as included while it has no songs to offer — a genre whose only songs are In Progress now shows dimmed until "Include in-progress songs" brings them back.
Now on the App Store 2.0

18 August 2026

Rep Jam Gig is live for iPhone and iPad

The first public release. Get it on the App Store. A few of the things it does:

  • Your repertoire, in your keys. Performance ready, in progress, and want-to-learn lists, with the key you actually sing or play each song in — and a built-in songbook of 2,500+ standards that fills in composer, lyricist and year as you type.
  • Every jam and gig, logged. Who played, where, and what you called — and the musicians you play with build themselves into a directory from those entries.
  • Set lists that write themselves. The builder balances keys and tempos, rests songs you've played recently, and favours tunes you've played with the musicians on the gig.
  • Import and export your whole library as one CSV, for bringing an existing repertoire in or keeping a backup out.
  • Entirely on your device. No account, no tracking, no permissions asked. iCloud sync is optional.
