## What is Piano Patrol?

Piano Patrol listens to your piano practice and tracks how much you actually play. Just tap Start, and your friendly cat companion will cheer you on while  
  the app automatically detects when the piano is playing and when you're taking a break.
                                                                                                                                                           
How it works:

  happens locally and privately.
