Ballet Log
Read full descriptionHide 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ballet Log at none against Obalwan's 1. Obalwan's advantage is iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.5). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
