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.

Practify

Practify is the all-in-one practice companion for musicians: a music practice tracker, a precise metronome and a chromatic instrument tuner in a single private, offline app. Whether you play guitar, piano, violin, bass, ukulele or any other instrument, Practify helps you turn practice time into real progress. Most musicians practice without ever knowing how much they actually play or whether they are improving. Practify fixes that. Start a session timer, pick what you are working on, and your minutes are logged automatically by song, scale or technique. Over the weeks you can finally see your hours add up, your streak grow and your repertoire move from "learning" to "performance-ready". PRACTICE LOG & SESSION TIMER - One-tap session timer that logs time per song, scale or technique - Track tempo reached, focus rating and notes for every session - Daily practice goal with a progress ring and a motivating streak counter - Quick-start your most recent pieces and review today's sessions at a glance BUILT-IN METRONOME - Accurate, drift-corrected metronome with a clear visual beat indicator - Tap tempo, fine BPM control and a wide 30–300 BPM range - Time signatures, subdivisions (eighths, triplets, sixteenths) and a first-beat accent - Save tempo presets per song so you are ready the moment you pick up your instrument CHROMATIC INSTRUMENT TUNER - Real microphone-based chromatic tuner with a clear cents needle and in-tune indicator - Adjustable reference pitch (A=430–446 Hz) for orchestras and period instruments - Tuning presets for guitar, bass, ukulele, violin, viola, cello and mandolin - All audio is processed live on your device and is never recorded or uploaded REPERTOIRE & GOALS - Organise the songs and pieces you are learning with status, target tempo and color - See total practice time, session count and last-practiced date per piece - Watch each piece progress from learning to polishing to performance-ready INSIGHTS & ACHIEVEMENTS - A 17-week consistency heatmap that shows your practice habit at a glance - This-week-versus-last-week comparison, best day, best week and longest streak - Practice patterns by weekday and time of day plus a breakdown by category - Dozens of achievements to keep your daily practice habit fun and rewarding PRIVATE & OFFLINE - Works completely offline with no account and no sign-up required - All your practice data stays on your device; export a backup any time - Designed to be a calm, premium practice tool, not a distraction Practify is perfect for beginners building a daily habit, students preparing for exams or recitals, hobby players who want to track progress, and teachers who want their students to practice with structure. If you have ever searched for a simple practice log app, an accurate metronome with tap tempo, or a reliable offline guitar tuner, Practify brings all three together in one focused, distraction-free place. It works just as well as your daily music practice tracker, a steady rehearsal metronome for band practice, and a fast chromatic tuner to check your strings before a lesson, a rehearsal or a gig. No subscriptions, no ads getting in the way of your timer or tuner, and nothing to set up. Pick up your instrument, start the timer, and make every minute count.
