How to

A visual manual — each screen exploded, every button explained, and the many ways to get your music in.

Welcome — set up MusicianOS

Install the app, set your name, bring in your first songs, and take the tour — start here, whatever plan you're on.

Whatever plan you land on — Free, Plus, Pro, or the Pro+ preview — you start the same way. Four steps and you're gig-ready.

1 · Install & open

Download MusicianOS free from the App Store and open it — it lands on Studio, your capture home (you can pick a different opening screen later in Settings). Your first launch includes a sample song, setlist, gig, and layered demo plus a quick welcome tour, so every screen has something real on it before you've added a note of your own.

Open Settings → Account and add Your name. It's how bandmates and anyone you share a song with will see you. See .

3 · Bring in your first songs

Type one from scratch, paste a chart, import a file, scan a paper chart, or bring in a whole songbook or library at once — nothing here is ever paywalled. See and .
