Practice Time vs Piano Patrol

Focus on your music, and let PracticeTime handle the tracking. PracticeTime listens for your instrument and counts only the time you actually play. Unlike a stopwatch that keeps running through breaks, it pauses when you stop and picks up again when you play, so every minute in your log is real practice. Made for families: everyone who practices on the device gets their own profile, with their own instrument, goals, history and streak. KEY FEATURES • Automatic timing: starts and stops by itself as you play. No need to touch the screen. • Profiles: separate history, goals, instrument and streak for each person who practices. • Daily goals and streaks: set a goal, watch your progress and keep your streak going. • Widgets: today's practice and your streak on the Home Screen and Lock Screen. • Notes and recordings: record while you practice, add a note, star your best takes and share them with your teacher. • Built-in metronome: tap to start or stop it right on the practice screen. 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, 5/4 and 7/8, with tap tempo. • Instruments: violin, piano, clarinet, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. • Practice history: calendar and trend views of your daily progress. • 9 languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Korean. • Privacy first: all sound processing happens on your device.
