Practice Log is a practice journal for musicians: start the timer, record yourself, then listen back. • Session timer and recording Start with one tap. Record the whole session, then play it back on a waveform — drag to the part that went wrong and hear it again. Recordings stay on your device. • Metronome and tuner A metronome with custom accents, subdivisions, and progressive tempo training. A tuner for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, viola and more, plus a chromatic mode. • Sheet music Add MusicXML scores to any exercise and pull them up while you play. • Spaced repetition Built on FSRS — suggestions are based on how memory actually fades, not just how long ago you practised something. • Practice videos Turn a recording into a vertical video with waveform and beat grid, ready to share. Or share the original audio when your teacher needs to hear the whole piece. • Progress you can see Practice time and streaks are tracked automatically, with weekly and monthly reviews. Export everything at any time — your data is yours. For anyone building a daily practice habit, and for players who want to look back seriously.
