Who it's for
Independent artists.
Day jobs. Bigger dreams.
Pierre is built for indie artists who are doing the work — just without the infrastructure. Not for hobbyists. Not for artists with management. For artists who are genuinely trying to build something and need a system that keeps up.
- ✓Self-managed artists — no booking agent, no label, no manager handling things while you rehearse
- ✓Day-jobbers — managing a music career in stolen hours, nights, and weekends
- ✓Multi-member projects — more than one person means coordination problems; Pierre solves those
- ✓Currently using spreadsheets — or notes apps, or group texts, or all three. It's time.
Why Pierre
Built for the music life.
A spreadsheet doesn't know what a load-in is. A notes app can't tell you which venue to email next. A group chat won't remind you to push the pre-save. Pierre is built for the way independent artists actually work — campaigns, holds, settlements, pre-saves, the whole vocabulary, already wired in.
01
One home base
Shows, tours, releases, tasks, and your team — no more scattered tabs, sheets, or group texts. Everything your project needs, in one system that knows how it all connects.
02
Built for the music life
Campaigns, holds, load-ins, settlements, pre-saves, distributor deadlines — Pierre speaks your language out of the box. 150+ tasks tailored to the actual work, ready to go.
03
Less managing, more music
Pierre carries the admin so you can carry the guitar. Auto-assign, auto-schedule, auto-remind — built so the band runs even on the nights you're rehearsing.
Every project, one system
From the first idea to the encore —
Pierre is the hub.
Pierre treats every release, tour, show, and recording session like the project it is — with the templated tasks, timelines, and team coordination already wired up.
Releases
Single, EP, or album — Pierre runs the rollout.
Phased roadmap from announce to release day: pre-saves, distributor uploads, content drops, press, playlist pitches. Every step accounted for.
- Writing → recording → mixing → marketing → release week, tracked across phases
- 150+ templated tasks tailored to indie release strategy
- Every task auto-assigned by category — and always editable
- Release-week checklist so nothing ships unfinished
Tours
From routing to settlement — Pierre keeps the run on rails.
Tour tasks plus per-show breakdowns. Hold tracking, market analysis, lodging, advance, the whole machine — with the work split across the band instead of dying on one person's plate.
- Tour routing across markets and venues — see the whole shape at once
- Share booking responsibility: each team member owns their cities
- Per-show task generation as venues confirm
- Radio outreach to college and indie stations in every tour market
Shows
Every show, with all the moving parts in one place.
6-status lifecycle (Proposed → Held → Confirmed → Promoting → Completed). Templated tasks auto-generated on confirm so the gear, the promo, and the follow-up actually happen.
- 4-step show lifecycle: Proposed → Held → Confirmed → Completed
- ~30 templated tasks fire when a show confirms — promo, logistics, follow-up
- Bill management — co-bills, supports, openers, set times
- Load-in, sound check, door, and on-stage times tracked per show
Recording Sessions
Track every session like the project it is.
Pre-production, tracking, mix and master — 42 tasks tied to phases, so nothing falls through between studio days. Walk in prepared, walk out knowing what's next.
- 42-task template for recording sessions, tailored to indie workflows
- Phase-based roadmap: Pre-Production → Tracking → Mix & Master
- Connected to upcoming releases — recordings flow into the release plan
- Track stems, takes, budgets, and notes per session
The operating hub
Every idea, tip, and best practice
— turned into action.
Every artist you've played with knows something you don't. Every venue, every booker, every soundperson, every blog post, every saved Instagram video. Pierre is where all of that lives — and where it turns into a task on the next project that needs it.
The college-radio playbook from the artist you opened for in Albany. The merch hack from the headliner at Boot & Saddle. Saved, tagged, and ready to apply next time.
The bridge idea your bandmate had after rehearsal. The release strategy you brainstormed in a hotel lobby. Captured before it disappears — and pulled into the project it belongs to.
The Instagram video about pre-saves. The TikTok about touring as an opener. The Twitter thread about Bandcamp pricing. Drop the link in, it's there when the next release needs a plan.
An idea by itself is a tab you'll close. Pierre lets you turn it into a task on the next release, tour, show, or recording — so it actually happens.
Built by working musicians
We wrote it because we needed it.
We're Todd and Ford. We play in The Royal Me, a self-managed indie band out of Boston. Day jobs, a release calendar, and the same chaos every independent band knows: shows in one spreadsheet, the tour budget in another, release tasks buried in a group chat that scrolls faster than anyone can read it.
We tried the project tools built for software teams. None of them spoke show, tour, release, or recording session. So we built the thing we wished existed. For us first, then for every band running their career out of a notes app.
Pierre is the system we use to run our own band. If it doesn't earn its place in our week, it doesn't ship to yours.
Pricing

FAQ
Reasonable questions.
You can start solo and invite the rest of the band whenever. Pierre works best when the whole band's on it — that's kind of the point — but you can use it to get your own head straight first.
Spreadsheets and notes apps are blank canvases. Pierre comes with 150+ tasks tailored to releases, tours, shows, and recording sessions — the actual work musicians do. You're not building a workspace from scratch. You're opening one that already knows what a release rollout looks like.
Then you probably don't have the project structure, the templated tasks, or anything tying your shows and releases together. "Kind of works" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Drop in a link, a note, a screenshot. Tag it. When you start the next release or tour, Pierre surfaces the ones that apply — and you can turn any of them into a task on the project, one click.
Per artist. All your team members are included. We're not going to charge you $60/month because you have a six-piece.
