Privacy Policy
Aftershow · Last updated June 2026
Aftershow is private by design. We do not collect, store, sell, or share your personal data, and we do not track you.
Aftershow has no backend of its own and no user accounts. Here's everything it does:
- It reads the setlist you give it (a setlist.fm link or an artist you search) and asks setlist.fm for that show's songs.
- It matches those songs to Apple Music and creates a playlist in your Apple Music library, with your permission.
- It keeps an Archive of the shows you've converted, and syncs that Archive across your devices through your own iCloud (see below).
- It never reads your listening history or your existing library beyond what's needed to create the playlist, and it has no way to send your information to us.
Your Archive and iCloud
The Archive is Aftershow's record of the shows you've turned into playlists. It lives on your device, and — so it survives a new phone or a reinstall — it syncs through your own iCloud, in your private CloudKit database. This is your iCloud, not a server of ours: Aftershow cannot read it. Apple keeps your private database walled off from the developer, so your Archive is visible only to you, on your devices, under your Apple ID. There's no account to create — it rides the iCloud you already have.
Sync is on by default so your shows are safe if you lose or replace your phone. You can turn it off in the app's settings; with sync off, your Archive stays on that device only.
Third-party services
Aftershow uses Apple's MusicKit to talk to Apple Music; your use of Apple Music is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy. Setlist data comes from setlist.fm. Aftershow contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs, and its App Store privacy label declares no data collection.
Deleting your data
Aftershow has no account, and we hold none of your data — there's nothing on our side to delete. Your Archive lives on your device and in your own iCloud: delete a show from within the app to remove it, or delete the app and turn off its iCloud sync to clear the Archive from your devices and your iCloud. Playlists Aftershow created live in your own Apple Music library, where you can rename or delete them like any other.
