With Practice Timer, see your improvement as you go. Build your plan, follow the timer and track your musical progress. Practice Timer lets you build that sequence as one plan, then guides you through it with clean audio cues β€” so your eyes stay on the music and your hands stay on the instrument. You can also use the randomize function to change the order of exercices within a sequence. HOW IT WORKS β€’ Build a plan from exercices: warmup, technique, repertoire, drills. β€’ Configure intervals per exercices β€” exercise's time, rest, and repetition. β€’ Press start. Audio cues mark every transition. β€’ Finish, see your session summary, watch your daily streak grow. WHY THIS DESIGN Built around three principles from motor-skill and memory research: β€’ Focused attention has limits β€” short, structured blocks are more effective than long, unfocused sessions. β€’ Memory consolidates during rest β€” built-in breaks aren’t time off; they’re part of the learning process. β€’ Interleaved practice beats blocked practice β€” switching modes helps skills stick. Just press Start. The structure does the work. WHO IT'S FOR β€” Conservatory students β€” Working musicians β€” Hobbyists who want practice time that actually counts β€” Teachers structuring lessons or assigning practice * Practice Timer is free to download and requires a Practice Timer Pro subscription to use: $9.99/month or $59.99/year (prices may vary by region). New subscribers get a 3-day free trial with the yearly plan. All features shown are included with the subscription. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
