It's been a truly collaborative effort to ship this, all in the first six-week cycle of the year. We only decided we were going to do it just before Christmas. Kudos to @andybee.com, @jonathancresswell.co.uk , @alexwatson.co @dbj.bsky.social for being a joy to work with and delivering the goods.
We always try and think from the user's perspective and speak in accessible language. We also had to constantly watch out for when to use "back up" (verb) versus "backup" (noun).
I've particularly enjoyed working on the copy for this new section. Every word in the flow has been written with care and scrutiny. For example, instead of "Automatic backup settings", it's "Change when automatic backups happen".
And just as you can easily import a library from another music scheduler app into Aiir Scheduler, you can now in theory take a backup, close your account and move elsewhere. The data is in your hands.
They can take a backup and pass it to another Aiir Scheduler customer, who can then restore it to their account. This could be a game changer for consultants who want to share a format in an instant.
Screenshot of the first menu screen in the new "Back up or Restore" section of Aiir Scheduler. It asks "What would you like to do?" and then lists four options: Restore a backup, Back up now, Download a previous backup, Change when automatic backups happen. Below that, it says "Automatic backups enabled", and says when the last backup was taken.
We've just shipped "Back up and Restore" for Aiir's cloud basic music scheduler.
Customers will now have their library backed up automatically every day, can take a backup and download it whenever they need, and restore a backup from the cloud or upload one from their device.

Pleasure to be the person handing out the certificates for the @audioacademyuk.bsky.social @aiir.com 30 Under 30. I'm like Princess Anne at the Olympics, where you go "sure, they're there to hand it the honours apparently"

Product: Cycle 3, 2025 Hey everyone. It's time to share what we've got planned for the next cycle. It's an exciting one! This cycle runs April 28th to June 6th. Scheduler in Platform ~6 weeks Andy, Jonathan, Gav, Mike This will be our seventh and potentially final cycle working on Scheduler for a whole cycle as a team of four, as we launch the product at the start of week 4. The headlines for this cycle will be:
Following that, I always write a “kick-off” post for the whole company, where I share the decisions made at the betting table. Here’s the opening of this cycle’s post. #behindthescenes
Next week, we start the 3rd cycle of 2025. Today we held the “betting table”, a meeting of our strategy team where we decide what we’re going to be working on for the next 6 weeks, who’s doing what, and how long we want to give each piece of work.
We’re just a few weeks out from launching Aiir Scheduler 😆 May 19th - and it’ll be free to use at first. If you have any questions about it, I’ll do my best to answer them here.

Hah. For me it’s adding “indeed” after “thank you very much”. News presenters do it all the time.
Our opening for a VILT stack developer closes this Friday. There's still time to apply, we don't cut the process short, so someone applying this week has just as much opportunity as someone applying weeks ago.

Having “hiring” on your LinkedIn profile or running a job ad on there, basically means recruitment agencies try and connect with you a dozen times a day. It really makes me not want to use it, but I don’t think we can _not_ be on there.
We’re also hiring for a VILT stack developer. It’s a remote position in the United States. All the info 👇🏻 aiir.com/careers/vilt...
