How it works

Booking to paid,
three steps.

01
Add a gig
Venue, date, fee, agency — everything else hangs off the show. Paste travel confirmations or forward them to Concierge.
02
Day sheet on show day
Lobby call, soundcheck, set time, hotel and contacts — readable backstage. Share a PDF in one tap.
03
Invoice and get paid
Send a paper-serious PDF with a pay link. Stripe, PayPal or bank — status flows back to the gig.
From the app

The interface
you’ll live in.

The same app for tonight’s show, the next invoice, and tax season — tour-first, not spreadsheet-first.

Dashboard Tour control.
Tonight in one glance.

Tomorrow's show, this week's bookings, and what needs attention before the next one — tour control without the clutter.

Klare dashboard — Kinetic Club Berlin tonight and the week's upcoming shows
Gigs Every booking,
every flight, every night.

List, calendar, timeline — flights, hotels, check-in and set times on one run. The view agencies get on Gigwell, built for you.

Klare gigs timeline — flights, hotel check-in, gig set times on one run
Invoice editor Six templates.
Live preview. Pay link in the PDF.

Pick your paper, type once, watch the invoice render on the right. Multi-language, reverse-charge handled, Stripe + PayPal on the portal page.

The tension

You didn’t choose freelance
for the paper trail.

Most tools speak accountant. Klare speaks tour — gigs, travel, day sheets, invoices and tax bundles, in one surface that feels like heavy paper, not enterprise chrome.

01
Tonight’s show, not next quarter
Set time, lobby call, hotel and contacts on one calm screen — the data you actually need at 22:00, in your pocket.
02
Money tied to the night
Fee, expenses, travel, per-diem, invoice and payment status — all hanging off the gig that earned them, not floating in a spreadsheet.
03
Cross-border on autopilot
Reverse charge, EU VAT IDs, currencies, per-diem rates — written on the page so you don’t have to be the expert before a flight.
Capability

Depth, without
the noise.

Gigs, travel, invoices, expenses, tax — everything in the sidebar, built for how you actually work on tour. Not a generic freelancer tool with a calendar bolted on.

Gigs & tours
Tonight’s show, the run after it, the tour around them — list, calendar and timeline. Set times, fee, agency and payout status on one card.
Day sheet
Lobby, hotel, flight, soundcheck, set, contacts. Readable backstage — share a clean PDF in one tap.
Travel & per-diem
Paste a confirmation — Klare reads city, time, hotel, train, flight. Per-diem rates per country, already set.
Invoices that feel like paper
Six editorial templates, live preview, one PDF — bank details, reverse-charge wording and your terms already in place.
Expenses & receipts
Log costs against the gig that earned them. Snap a receipt from your phone — ready for tax export, not a shoebox in March.
Stripe + PayPal portal
Paste your own payment links on the invoice. Clients settle in a click — you stop copy-pasting IBANs into DMs.
Recurring invoices
Monthly retainers and repeat clients on autopilot — issue, send and track without rebuilding the same invoice every time.
Tours & projects
Group a run into one tour — shared travel costs, net rough, and every gig tied to the same project instead of scattered dates.
Concierge
Forward a booking confirmation or hotel email — Klare pulls dates, cities and details into your trip without retyping.
DATEV-ready tax bundle
DATEV CSV, §13b wording, USt-IdNr. blocks, annual PDF — one export instead of a folder of screenshots in March.
Clients & venues
Agencies, promoters, billing contacts — light CRM tied to gigs and invoices, not a separate spreadsheet.
Five languages
English, German, Spanish, French and Italian — across the UI and on invoice PDFs for cross-border clients.
Label workspace Beta
Roster, releases, contracts and royalty statements for indie labels — separate tier, same calm interface.
Label workspace

Indie labels,
same calm OS.

Roster, releases, contracts and royalty statements — a separate tier for small electronic labels, built on the same invoicing and touring stack.

How Klare compares

Built for the tour,
not the spreadsheet.

Two honest comparisons. The first against the invoicing tools artists actually try first. The second against the touring platforms built for the agencies behind them.

Klare Concierge

Forward the email. We parse the rest.

Flight confirmations, hotel bookings, venue details — forward them to Concierge and they land as gigs, travel, and expenses. Like having a VA built in, without the agency markup.

Comparisons reflect publicly stated features as of 2026. Touring platforms are built primarily for booking agencies; Klare is the artist tier — designed for you to use without one.

Early beta feedback

Quotes from early beta testers. Names shortened for privacy.

The agencies I worked with had powerful tools — for them. As the artist, I got a stripped-down view. Klare flips that around: the artist tier is the product.

Marcus T.DJ · EU touring

Set time, lobby call, hotel, fee, expenses, invoice status — one calm screen at 22:00 in a green room. That’s what I’ve been looking for.

Laura K.Berlin · live producer

I bill NL, UK and US from the same run. If the VAT line is already right and DATEV is one export, I’m not losing a weekend in March.

Roadmap

Built for artists first.
Teams next.

Questions

Before you
start the tour.

Is there a free version?

Yes. Free includes invoicing, PDF export, clients and expense logging — no card needed.

What happens after the 14-day trial?

You can stay on Free or continue with Touring Artist for €9/month or €84/year. No surprise upgrade, no enterprise contract.

Can I use Klare on my phone?

Yes. Klare is built mobile-first for backstage, airports, hotels and the minutes before soundcheck.

Does Klare work offline?

Core app screens are designed as a PWA. Offline support is being tightened carefully, starting with access to saved touring information.

Can I export invoices for my accountant?

Yes. Touring Artist includes DATEV CSV, tax exports and invoice PDFs so your accountant gets structured files instead of screenshots.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Klare runs in the browser and can be added to your phone home screen like an app.

Are label and agency tools coming?

Label workspace is in beta — roster, release checklists, distributor import, splits, settlements, and contracts. Try the label demo. Agency tools are still on the roadmap.

Is Klare only for electronic artists?

No. It works for DJs, bands, live performers, producers, photographers and creative freelancers who move between bookings, invoices and travel.

Stay in
the loop.
