You practice on the go. But are you actually getting better, or just filling time? RepLog is a dedicated music practice journal for iPhone—with an Apple Watch companion and iCloud sync to RepLog on Mac—so sessions, goals, and progress stay with you. LOG SESSIONS WHERE YOU ARE Start a session, pick your focus, and play. Optional 3-2-1 countdown so you start on the downbeat. Pause when you need a breath; resume without losing the clock. When you end a segment, RepLog logs time, goals, and progress—no busywork. GOALS WITH REAL TARGETS Create goals for a song, scale, technique, or lick. Set a target BPM, log your speed, and watch the gap close in numbers—not vibes. DASHBOARD & HISTORY See your week at a glance: time logged, active goals, recent sessions. Dig into history so streaks, slumps, and breakthroughs are obvious. METRONOME & TUNER Tap tempo, common time signatures, and a chromatic mic tuner—built into the same flow as your log. CHORDS, SCALES & MEDIA Interactive chord and scale reference when you need a map. Keep recordings, imports, YouTube refs, and notes next to your practice. Link goals to media so the work and the evidence stay together. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Track from your wrist at the instrument—no phone dance mid-phrase. ICLOUD SYNC WITH MAC Start on iPhone, review on Mac (or the other way around). Goals, history, dashboard, and media stay aligned. ANY INSTRUMENT, ANY LEVEL Guitar, bass, piano, drums, strings, winds—if you practice it, you can log it. FREE TO START, PRO TO GO DEEPER RepLog is free to download and use. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited goals, longer history, practice recording, and more—one purchase unlocks Pro on iPhone, Watch, and Mac.
Practice Timer

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 — 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 • Build a plan from exercices: warmup, technique, repertoire, drills. • Configure intervals per exercices — exercise's time, rest, and repetition. • Press start. Audio cues mark every transition. • Finish, see your session summary, watch your daily streak grow. WHY THIS DESIGN Built around three principles from motor-skill and memory research: • Focused attention has limits — short, structured blocks are more effective than long, unfocused sessions. • Memory consolidates during rest — built-in breaks aren’t time off; they’re part of the learning process. • Interleaved practice beats blocked practice — switching modes helps skills stick. Just press Start. The structure does the work. WHO IT'S FOR — Conservatory students — Working musicians — Hobbyists who want practice time that actually counts — 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.
