RepLog vs BackingBand

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.

Your own band, ready to play whatever you're working on. BackingBand turns a chord chart into a real-sounding rhythm section: drums, bass, keys and guitar that actually groove. Pick a chart, press play, and practice with a band behind you instead of a metronome. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Start from a curated library of ready-to-play tunes, or build your own: enter the chords, arrange your sections (intro, verse, chorus, bridge, solo, outro), and the band plays them back. • Import charts from iReal Pro: paste a link or choose an exported file, and the band picks a matching style for supported charts. • Pick from 38 styles: swing, jazz waltz, bebop, modal jazz, bossa nova, samba, shuffle and slow blues, classic and hard rock, funk, disco, neo-soul, reggae, ska, K-pop, second line, Afro and more. Switch styles anytime and the whole band re-arranges. • Make it yours: set the tempo and key, reshape the groove section by section, and balance, mute, solo or swap instruments in the mixer. • Practice with purpose: loop any passage with A-B repeat, count yourself in, and follow the chart as it scrolls with the music. A BAND THAT BREATHES, NOT A STIFF LOOP Real intros and endings, fills between sections, and a rhythm section that lifts behind your solo instead of repeating the same bar. Whether you're shedding ii-V-I changes, grinding the 12-bar blues or running a pop tune, the backing feels like players in a room. READS LIKE A REAL LEAD SHEET Clean chord symbols in jazz shorthand or spelled out, Roman numerals under every chord, colors by chord quality, and 2 or 4 bars per row. On iPad the chart grows with the screen, in portrait or landscape, and works in Split View and Stage Manager.
