Riffshed vs ProFlow

Riffshed is a practice journal for jazz musicians, built on the card system. See whether you're actually getting better — or just spending more time with the instrument. THREE PHASES. ONE CARD. Every exercise is a card that moves through three phases — Explore, Integrate, Master — each with its own color and rep counter. You decide when a card is ready to move forward; Riffshed remembers when it did and how long it stayed in each phase. REPS, NOT MINUTES A timer rewards sitting with the instrument. A rep counter rewards doing the work: running a phrase through twelve keys, taking a head clean. Minutes are still tracked — but reps are the unit you optimize. FOCUS BLOCKS A 20/5 focus cycle tuned for instrumental practice: twenty minutes on one card, five minutes of mandatory break. Both intervals are configurable; the open-ended mode drops the clock entirely for jams and lessons. START FROM ANYWHERE (new in 1.1) A Home Screen widget starts a session in one tap and shows today's minutes, your streak and the weekly goal. The live timer follows you to the Lock Screen and the Dynamic Island — pause and finish without unlocking; the session saves itself. Map practice to the Action Button, ask Siri, or add a Control Center switch. A METRONOME YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE Full-screen metronome with pendulum, subdivisions and swing. Configure click and accent per beat and per subdivision: silence the "and" of 2, accent any sixteenth, build polyrhythm grids. EVERYTHING LIVES IN THE CARD Notes, target tempo, separate rep counters per phase, PDF sheet music that opens full-screen (pages flip with a swipe while the metronome keeps playing), and one-tap links out to iReal Pro, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and more. SEE A YEAR OF WORK A calendar heatmap of your practice. Tap any day to see what you played, for how long, and which cards moved forward. CURATED LIBRARIES TO START Jazz Piano Fundamentals (67 cards ordered by difficulty) and iReal Pro — Essential Standards (30 standards with deep links) are pre-installed. Build your own libraries, or import a curriculum a teacher shared as a single file. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Fully offline. Full JSON backup including scores. Library export and import in one tap. No account, no ads. Free. Built for daily practice — for iPhone and iPad.

Pro Flow is a lyric workspace built for writing to a beat — on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows, and as a VST3 inside your DAW. Keep verses, hooks, and ad-libs in one place. Import your tracks, tag sections, look up rhymes, record voice takes, shoot video performances, and pin photos, clips, and sticky notes on an inspiration board — then keep going without breaking the pocket. WRITE • Lyric catalog with folders, search, and recently deleted • Notepad with section tags so the song stays organized as you draft • Optional rhyme suggestions for a single word — not an AI songwriter • Link a beat to a lyric and write while it plays PLAY • Import audio into playlists and folders • Mini player and full player with A–B loops and tap tempo • Keep writing while a take or beat runs in the background CAPTURE • Voice memos for ideas the second they land • Video performances with a teleprompter over your beat • Inspiration boards for photos, videos, and notes EVERYWHERE YOU WORK Pro Flow is cross-platform. Use this app on iPhone and iPad. The same writer’s studio is also available as a standalone app on Mac and Windows, and as a VST3 plugin inside your DAW — so you can write in the same flow on your phone, at the desktop, or next to your session in Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, and more. A mobile App Store purchase covers the iOS app. Desktop and plugin access is licensed separately at theproflow.app. YOURS Your writing and media stay on this device. You own your work. Sign in only if you want optional cloud sync across your devices. Local files are never locked. Pro Flow is a writer’s studio, not a DAW replacement. Support: support@theproflow.app
