A reed goes off long before you notice. reeDminder shows you when. For clarinet, saxophone, oboe and bassoon players who are tired of guessing. Rate a reed out of ten after a session. Once it has three ratings, reeDminder shows a second number beside its average — the mean of its last three. A reed with twenty good sessions behind it has a lifetime average that barely moves when it starts to go, but the trailing three drops straight away. That gap is the thing a notebook cannot show you. WHAT IT DOES ▷ Rotations. A rotation set is the reeds you are actively playing. Start a session and reeDminder suggests the next reed in the set, picking up from the one you played last. Play whatever you like — it records the reed you actually played, not the one it offered. ▷ Sessions. One tap starts the timer, another ends it. Add a note while you play and rate the reed when you stop. ▷ Recordings. Capture how a reed actually sounded. A rating tells you what you thought of it; a recording tells you what it was. A month later those are not always the same thing. ▷ Break-in cycles. Define your own steps, and reeDminder tracks which one a replacement reed is on. ▷ Instruments and mouthpieces. Keep them alongside your reeds, and record which reed was played on what. ▷ Full history. Every session, note, rating and recording, for every reed you have owned — including the ones you have retired. OFFLINE BY DESIGN Everything lives in a database on your device. reeDminder makes no network requests at all: no account, no sign-up, nothing to sync, and no way for your playing history to end up anywhere you did not put it. Back it up by exporting a single file and keeping it wherever you keep your files. Free. Every feature, from the moment you install. No ads, no account, no tracking. iPad has its own layout rather than a stretched phone screen. Replaces the notebook, the spreadsheet, the post-it on the case.
