ENIGMA - Backline

iPhone / Musique

Enigma Backline is the all-in-one stage and equipment management app built by a professional backliner for backliners, musicians, and gear techs.
Whether you're prepping a tour, running a live show, or managing a gear park, Enigma Backline keeps your entire workflow in one place — from setlists to signal chains.
LIVE MODE
Navigate your setlists on stage with a clean, high-contrast live view. See the current song, next song, and instrument assignments at a glance. Multi-song display with adaptive font sizing keeps everything readable under stage lights. Built-in chromatic tuner with adjustable reference pitch (A=440 Hz default) and multiple visual themes.
SETLISTS & SONGS
Build and manage setlists with drag-and-drop reordering. Import songs from Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheets. Assign multiple instruments per musician per song with live color coding (~35 colors in chromatic order). Duplicate detection on import prevents accidental entries.
MUSICIANS & INSTRUMENTS
Manage your roster of musicians with instrument assignments. Track each instrument's details including type (guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, vocals), strings, picks, and consumables. Export consumables (strings & picks) to CSV for inventory planning.
RIG BUILDER (Available on MacOS)
Design your pedalboard signal chain visually on an interactive canvas. Place pedals and pedalboards with real dimensions (brand library loaded from cloud). Connect them with color-coded patch cables — jack, XLR, MIDI, USB, TRS, and more. Rotate pedals, configure stereo/mono layouts, add custom connectors. Build a rack interface with labeled I/O channels. Save, duplicate, and manage multiple rig configurations.
PDF & CSV EXPORT
Export your rig layout as a professional PDF with a visual canvas snapshot plus detailed cable list (type, length with +15% margin, connector profiles). Export consumables inventory as CSV compatible with Excel, Numbers, and Google Sheets.
MAINTENANCE TRACKING
Kanban-style maintenance board to track the condition of every instrument. Tasks are categorized as Done, To Do, or Urgent. Set custom maintenance intervals, check off completed tasks, and always know what needs attention before the next gig.
REPAIR PARTNER NETWORK
Find trusted guitar repair shops on an interactive map. Partners are loaded from a live directory with specialties, ratings, address, and contact info. Send repair requests directly from the app. Three-level data loading: live cloud data, local cache, or built-in fallback.
BUILT FOR THE STAGE
Dark mode optimized. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac natively. Import/export your full project as JSON to back up or share your setup. Automatic local save ensures you never lose your work.
