Why Encore exists

I built Encore because I wanted a concert diary — a place to keep nights I already lived — not another app that tells you who is touring.

After a show, the photos sit in Camera Roll next to everything else. Encore is where I put the night back together: the artist, the venue, the people I was with, the clips I want to see again.

Your concert photos and videos stay on the iPhone. The only images Encore uploads are a profile photo you set and, if you choose to share it, a festival poster for a shared festival group (new). If you sign in, Encore backs up your concert details (artist, venue, date, rating, and notes) to its servers. This version cannot restore that backup after reinstalling or changing phones. The app does not sync through iCloud.

The app is social, on purpose. Friend codes, profiles, a feed — for your crew, not for discovering strangers' tours. You can log a date you already have. There is no Songkick-style discovery and no tour alerts.
