An iPhone application called Gigs uses artificial intelligence to scan old concert tickets, screenshots, and emails to build a personal archive of live music events. The app extracts dates, venues, and performer names from these files to generate a timeline of attended concerts. Users can view statistics such as the number of shows attended per year and the most frequently visited artists.
Gigs was developed by a small team in San Francisco and released on April 17, 2026. The app is available for free download with optional premium features. These include deeper analytics and the ability to export data in multiple formats.
The company behind Gigs states that the app aims to help music fans preserve memories of concerts they attended. It also highlights how people often lose track of their concert history over time. According to the developers, thousands of users have already uploaded tens of thousands of concert-related files.
The app works by scanning images and documents stored on the user’s iPhone. It uses optical character recognition to identify relevant details such as ticket barcodes and venue names. Users can manually add missing concerts if the app fails to detect them automatically.
Gigs has received positive feedback from early users who appreciate the ability to relive past concert experiences. Some have noted that the app has helped them rediscover forgotten shows and artists they saw years ago.
