DJ Pull Up
Windows and Mac desktop app for DJs that watches Serato in real time, auto-tweets the currently playing track from your own Twitter account and builds an event-by-event music log you can export to CSV.
DJ Pull Up is an Electron desktop app I built for live DJs. It monitors Serato DJ, Serato DJ Pro, and Serato Scratch Live session history in real time, pulls track metadata as songs load and posts them to the DJ's Twitter account using configurable templates with placeholders like [song-title], [artiste-name], and [artiste-handle]. Every played track is logged locally in PouchDB, organised by event name and date and exportable as CSV for royalty reporting or venue paperwork. A short floating now-playing popup pins to the bottom-right of the screen so the DJ can glance at what is queued. Tweets can go out automatically or be approved manually before posting, with a configurable minimum play duration so skipped tracks are not logged or tweeted. Ships as a signed Windows NSIS installer (32-bit for older DJ laptops) and a macOS DMG. Subscription is handled through Stripe (monthly and yearly) and PayPal, with local state kept in PouchDB and synced to IBM Cloudant. An offline mode lets DJs keep logging plays and generating log sheets even when the venue has no internet.
