About

Ballet Log

Features
Read full description

Ballet Log is a notebook for dancers β€” a quiet place to record what you learned, capture how it felt, and look back on your progress. Built around four spaces: LOG β€” A photo diary in collage form. Save the moments that made class memorable, with filters, stickers, and one-line captions. Optional workout stats (calories, duration, heart rate) overlay your photo when you've worn Apple Watch. CLASS β€” Detailed class records. Note your barre and center combinations, the music your teacher used, who taught, and how you felt. Browse by month in a clean, minimal list. NOTES β€” Free-form notes for choreography breakdowns, corrections, references, and links. Pin important ones, tag for quick filtering, attach photos, and link to specific classes. HISTORY β€” A calendar view connecting everything. See which days had classes, photo logs, or notes β€” then dive into stats by week, month, or year. Why Ballet Log: β€’ Local first. Your data lives on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no surveillance. β€’ Private by design. Export a backup file anytime to email, AirDrop, or Files. Restore on a new phone in seconds. β€’ Apple Health integration. Workout sessions from Apple Watch (Other / Dance / Pilates / Yoga / Functional Strength) auto-link to your class logs. β€’ Beautiful share images. Share a class log or photo log as a polished image to Instagram, Messages, or wherever you like. β€’ Three languages. Full English, Korean, and Japanese support. Made by a dancer, for dancers. Quiet, focused, and yours.
