Plan with clients before the night, not on a napkin

Semuko gives DJs booking, contracts, invoices, payments and client planning in one place, so the timeline, the contract and the balance due all live with the event.

Common questions

What is a DJ timeline or run of show?

It is the minute-by-minute plan for an event: when each moment happens, which song plays, what gets announced and any notes for the planner, venue or photographer. Sharing one document keeps the whole vendor team on the same schedule.

How does auto-shift work?

Change the start time and every moment moves with it. Use the shift buttons on any row to push that moment and everything after it earlier or later, which is handy when dinner runs late.

Is my timeline saved?

Your draft is saved in this browser only, so you can close the tab and come back. It is not uploaded anywhere. Clearing browser data or using a private window removes it, so export a PDF or copy the text for safekeeping.

Can I share the timeline with my couple or planner?

Yes. Download the PDF and send it, or use Copy as text to paste the timeline into an email or message.

Is the DJ timeline builder free?

Yes. It runs in your browser with no account. Semuko is optional business software for DJs that handles booking, contracts, invoices, payments and client planning in one place.
