The toolkit
DJ Request App Features Built for the Booth
Live song request queue, QR Studio, tip jar, BPM & key, Request Board, Mac menu bar app, and AR glasses—one DJ request app for your whole show.
Song Requests & Real-time Queue
Give guests a simple way to request songs and see them in a live queue, while you stay in full control of what plays next.
Request Cooldown
Set a wait time between song requests so guests can’t spam your queue. Choose a preset or custom interval—guests see a countdown until they can request again.
Clipboard Copy
One tap copies “Artist Song” from any request so you can paste into Serato, Rekordbox, Virtual DJ, or another tab—no retyping mid-set.
Song BPM & Key
Pro feature
Pro shows BPM and musical key / Camelot Wheel codes as pills on Booth song requests so you can mix faster. Key notation preference lives under Workspace → Song Search.
Already Played
Pro feature
Mark a pending request as already played from the Booth (Pro). Guests see “Played,” and it still counts toward your approval analytics.
Post-Event Request Decisions
Pro feature
Approve or reject pending song requests after an event ends (Pro)—clear the queue from DJ Admin → Requests without rushing the last song.
Song Catalog
Pro feature
Build a searchable catalog of your go-to tracks from Deezer so guests can browse your sound and request directly from your library.
Pre-event Requests
Pro feature
Before the event starts, choose Off, Catalog-only, or Any song so guests can request early—or wait until go-time (Pro).
Events & Playlists
Spin up events in seconds, attach playlists, and keep every show organized—from bar residencies to weddings and private parties.
Event Templates
Save go-to event name, description, location, schedule defaults, and password as reusable templates so the next gig is faster to create.
Public Events
Create events anyone with the link can open and request songs from—no event password required. Browse public DJ profiles and events on the directory.
Private Events
Create private events that aren’t fully open—guests need the access you share, so only your crowd gets in.
Password-Protected Events
Keep your guest list under control. Add an optional password so only the crowd you want can request—perfect for private parties and ticketed events.
Free Deezer Integration
Free Deezer integration keeps guest searches powered by fresh metadata, so finding the right track feels fast and accurate.
Last.fm Matching
Optionally connect your Last.fm API key for sharper track matching and richer album art when Deezer results are ambiguous.
No App Download for Guests
Guests join via link or QR code right in their browser. Request, vote, and tip—no app installs or accounts required.
QR Studio
Design print-ready QR codes for your profile or events—customize shapes, colors, logos, and frames, then download for flyers, screens, or social.
Customizable DJ Profile
Customizable DJ profile page so your event hub actually looks and feels like your brand.
Private or Public DJ Profiles
Choose who can see your profile: keep it unlisted for invite-only gigs or make it public so new fans can find your events and request links.
Tip Jar
Turn requests into revenue with a built-in tip jar that lets happy guests support you in the moment.
100% Private
100% private by design—no data selling, no shady ad networks. Your crowd data stays between you and your audience.
