## What is PracMaster?

Tired of unfocused practice? PracMaster turns 30 minutes into structured growth with a 4-step method: warm up, listen, practice, record.

[Why PracMaster?]

You practice for two hours, but your skills don't improve — and you can't tell where the time went. PracMaster breaks practice into clear phases, each with a purpose, so every minute counts.

[Core Features]

• Warmup Phase: Configurable duration for scales and finger exercises — get your fingers ready.

• Listen-Practice Alternation: Import reference audio and automatically switch between listening and practicing rounds, developing your musical ear.

• Voice Announcements: Spoken cues at phase transitions — no need to watch the screen to track progress.

• Recap Recording: Automatically records your performance video after practice, stored locally in the app sandbox for self-review.

• Practice Plans: Save your current config as a plan with one tap, export .pracplan files to share with classmates or teachers, and import plans anytime.

• Practice Reports: Automatically logs session duration and phase distribution. Weekly view shows trends at a glance, with CSV export for deeper analysis.

• Custom Phase Names: Name each practice phase (e.g., Scales, Etude, Piece) — reports display them as-is.

[Design Philosophy]

No sheet music display, no distractions — just a clear guided workflow that helps you focus on practicing. All data stays on-device, never uploaded. Your privacy is guaranteed.

[Use Cases]

Daily practice for piano, violin, and other instruments — especially suited for learners who benefit from listen-practice alternation training. Supports iPhone and Apple Silicon Mac.
