VacantSeat

VacantSeat keeps track of who is sitting in your seats, so no ticket goes to waste and you remember who was with you when it happened. It replaces the marked-up screenshot of the schedule, the note on your phone, and the scattered text threads. See a whole season at a glance One row per night, with a dot for every seat. A spare seat shows as a dashed outline, so absence looks like absence. You never have to tap to know where things stand. Get the schedule in without typing it Hand it a screenshot, a photo of a printed page, a PDF, or a block of pasted text, and VacantSeat reads the dates off it — then shows you everything it found before a single night is added. A series that repeats every week can be described once. All of it happens on your device. Fill a seat in a tap, and say it in words Tap a seat to put someone in it, mark that you're waiting on a reply, or empty it again. Offering a seat drafts the message for you — the night, the venue, the exact seat — and hands it to Messages or Mail for you to send. Or type what you mean: "put Jake and Sarah in seats 3 and 4 on Tuesday", and see exactly what will happen before it does. Ask Siri "Who's in my seats?" "What's still open?" "Who am I waiting on?" "Offer Jake a seat." VacantSeat is built to be used by voice, with Shortcuts for all of it. On iOS 27, Siri can add a night to VacantSeat straight from a ticket in another app — and always asks you first. Know what each seat is actually like Aisle, club, suite, front row, upper bowl, balcony, covered, accessible, obstructed view. Tag a seat once and it stays tagged, so you know which one to offer to whom. Mark the nights that aren't like the others The preseason, the playoffs, opening night, a rivalry, a giveaway at the door. Tag a night and you'll still know a season later which Tuesday was which. A guest list of people, not names Give anyone a picture and a colour, so you find them by face rather than by reading. Link the two who always come together and VacantSeat mentions the second when you seat the first. In your calendar, if you want it there Mirror your nights into a calendar of its own. Dates that move are kept right, and cancelled nights disappear. It never touches any other calendar you own. Keep the memory, not only the logistics Every night, seat and guest takes a note. The score, who caught a puck, a child's first game. Notes are never prompted for and never thrown away. Years, not only seasons Roll a season over and the plan keeps its identity, its guest list and its history. Nothing from a past season is deleted, ever. Your third year with VacantSeat is more useful than your first. Built for everyone who uses it VoiceOver, Dynamic Type all the way up, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast. Seat status is never colour alone — every seat says what it is in words. Yours alone No account, no sign-in, no servers, no analytics, no ads, no in-app purchases. VacantSeat makes no network requests at all: your data lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud, and the developer never sees any of it. Works for hockey season tickets, theatre subscriptions, symphony series, and any other set of seats you hold more than once.
