Premium · A Squaresmile app

The tech rider your venue actually reads.

Rider Forge assembles your rider from structured sections — input list, monitoring, power, hospitality, merch — with professional standard clauses in the venue's language, your logo on top and a "Last updated" stamp the house tech trusts. Your channel lists, frequencies and power plans import straight from your other Squaresmile tools.

Rider in 11 languages — app in yours Buy once, own forever Synced to your account, on every device

How it works

From scattered notes to a venue-ready PDF.

01

Pick your sections

Contact, PA, monitors, input list, wireless, backline, power, stage plot, schedule, hospitality, merch — include what applies, reorder freely.

02

Import what exists

Channel list from Stage Plot Generator, frequencies from FreqSense, power from PowerSense, set times from SetlistForge — one tap each.

03

Add the clauses

Fourteen professional standard blocks — PA specs, changeover, parking, catering — in the rider's language. Or save your own wording as reusable blocks.

04

Export & send

A clean PDF with your logo, band photo and a fresh "Last updated" stamp — or print it straight from the live preview.

Features

Built around how riders are actually used.

11 rider languages

Standard clauses and section titles export in the venue's language — German app, English rider for the festival in Belgium. Your own text stays exactly as typed.

One rider per situation

Club set, festival set, acoustic trio — keep them all, duplicate in one click, and adjust only what differs.

Imports from your tools

The data already lives on this platform. Rider Forge pulls it in and warns when a source changed since the last import.

Your branding, embedded

Logo in the header, band photo after the contacts, stage plots and your own images in any section — in the PDF and in print.

Your own clause library

Write a clause once — your in-ear setup, your van, your dietary needs — save it, and drop it into every future rider.

Everything follows your login

Riders, blocks and images sync with your account. Open a hotel laptop, log in, keep working — nothing lives only on one device.

Pricing

€29 one-time · via Gumroad

Bought once, owned forever. No subscription, no seats — your license unlocks Rider Forge on your Squaresmile account, alongside every free tool the platform ships.

Who it's for

Anyone who has ever been asked "do you have a rider?"

Bands & solo acts

Look professional at every advance: a structured, current PDF instead of a Word file from 2019 with the old drummer's kit in it.

Touring engineers

Keep the rider technically honest — real channel counts, real frequencies, real power — imported from the tools you planned with.

Agencies & managers

A rider per act and per situation, each stamped with its last update, exported in whatever language the promoter speaks.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Can the rider be in a different language than the app?

Yes — that's the core trick. The app UI follows your platform language; each rider has its own output language for standard clauses and section titles. Your free text always stays as typed.

Is it a subscription?

No. One purchase through Gumroad, unlocked forever on your Squaresmile account.

Do I need the other Squaresmile tools?

No — every section can be filled by hand. The imports are a shortcut for data you already keep in FreqSense, Stage Plot Generator, PowerSense or SetlistForge.

Where is my data stored?

With your Squaresmile account: riders, your clause blocks and all images sync server-side and follow your login to any device. A local copy keeps the app fast and working offline.
