Playing as a team?Schedule your band, assign roles and see who's coming.

Plan events, hand out roles and see who has said yes, all in the app. A team bundle is Setliner Pro seats at a bulk price, with Teams included free. Starting a team needs one, but people who join don’t need a seat to be on the schedule. Each seat you hand out unlocks Setliner Pro, with Practice included when you choose a Practice bundle; you keep one. Buy more than one bundle and the seats add up; you still keep only one. Everyone can add their scheduled events to the calendar app they already use (.ics or CSV), or subscribe with a private link that stays up to date.

Your songs stay
in your folder.

Your charts don’t need to live on our server to be on your stage.

Setliner keeps songs and setlists in a folder you choose. License checks do not send your charts or setlists.

How offline activation works

Starting a trial or activating a purchase needs a verified email address and an internet connection. After that, a cached license supports offline use for up to 90 days between successful renewals. A renewal does not extend a trial’s original deadline.

Ditch the binder.
Keep the charts.

Download Setliner

Windows

64-bit · version 2.3.0

Or get it from the Microsoft Store.

Install notes

The installer asks whether to install it for everyone who uses the PC, or just for you.

Seeing a Chrome or Windows warning? Windows checks the installer's signature itself. Chrome may say the file "isn't commonly downloaded". That only means few people have downloaded this new installer so far; to continue, choose Keep or Download suspicious file, and check the publisher in Windows' permission prompt. The permission prompt should say Verified publisher: Setliner, LLC, and may show a numbered file name, which is Windows' own copy of the installer. A brand-new signing certificate can still bring up a blue SmartScreen screen until enough people have downloaded Setliner; if it appears, choose More info, check the publisher, then Run anyway. To check the download yourself, run Get-FileHash .\Setliner-2.3.0-Windows-Installer.msi in PowerShell and compare it with SHA256SUMS.
