Practice with an AI coach who listens. AI listens to your practice and coaches you. Tempo analysis, rhythm feedback, personalized focus areas, and a tuner, all on-device. AI features need Apple Intelligence. WOODSHED — SMART TEMPO TRAINING Loop a tough passage and set a target tempo. Practice Lab raises the metronome only when your playing is objectively clean, and steps back if it isn't — so you always know exactly when you're ready to go faster. PRACTICE ANALYSIS Your microphone is analyzed on-device for tempo consistency and rhythm accuracy as you play. On iOS 27, it also reports dynamics. TUNER A real-time tuner built right in, with a sharp/flat/in-tune indicator — no separate app needed. PERSONALIZED FOCUS AREAS AI identifies your weak spots and suggests what to focus on and an exercise to try next. Spend time where it matters most. SMART METRONOME Beyond basic clicks — Woodshed raises the tempo step by step as you play cleanly, and your consistency is tracked over time. On iOS 27, control it from your Lock Screen, Control Center, or AirPods, so your phone can stay on the music stand. PROGRESS TRACKING See your improvement over days, weeks, and months, with a daily practice goal. PRIVATE — ON-DEVICE AI AI features are powered by Apple Intelligence and run on your device. Your practice audio and data are not uploaded to our servers. No account required. No sign-up. No tracking. No ads in the free tier. PREMIUM Free users get a real taste of the AI coach — a 7-day accuracy trend and one grounded coaching note every week — plus manual Woodshed practice loops. Premium unlocks unlimited AI coaching, the full auto-climbing Woodshed ladder with tempo-progress history, and advanced insights.

Rhythmic AI — your AI practice coach for musicians. Rhythmic AI turns everyday practice into guided progress. Snap a photo of your sheet music or record yourself playing, get instant personalized feedback, then work through exercises, real repertoire, and progress tracking that keeps you coming back. AI Coach. Chat with a coach that actually looks at what you're working on. Upload your sheet music — as many pages as you like — or send a recording of your playing, and get concrete, encouraging feedback on technique, timing, tuning, and interpretation, plus clear next steps to try right now. Start a fresh conversation anytime, or revisit past chats from your history. Exercises. Build the fundamentals with scales and arpeggios tailored to your instrument and skill level. Each one is rendered as clean staff notation in the right clef, so you can read and play along. Mark exercises finished, save them for later, or tap "I need help" to bring the coach into your practice. Tunes. Explore a growing library of real repertoire — from Twinkle Twinkle and Ode to Joy to Clair de Lune, Bach's Cello Suite Prelude, and Chopin's Nocturne in E minor. Each piece shows properly formatted sheet music that adapts to your instrument's clef, opens full screen for easy reading, saves to your Photos, and can be sent straight to the coach for help. Progress. Stay motivated with practice time, daily streaks, XP, and a weekly activity graph. Earn badges as you hit milestones — from your first week to finishing 100 exercises — with a celebration each time. See everything you've completed and what's still in progress at a glance. Made for every musician. Piano, guitar, violin, viola, cello, bass, or voice — pick your instrument and the app adapts. A calm "lacquered grand piano" design, in dark or light, keeps the focus on the music. Plans. Start free with Basic. Upgrade to Rhythmic Pro or Rhythmic Max for more coach chats each week and month and more messages per conversation — cancel anytime. Practice smarter. Play better. Keep the streak alive.
