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.

My Guitar Log keeps every guitar in your collection gig-ready. Track string changes, battery swaps, and shows for each instrument, then get reminded before strings go dead or active pickups quit on stage. Built for working musicians who own more than one guitar and are tired of guessing how old those strings really are. FEATURES β€’ Per-guitar logbook β€” Add every guitar with brand, model, default string brand and gauge, and a photo. Each one keeps its own history. β€’ String change tracking β€” Log every restring with date, brand, and gauge. See at a glance how long your current strings have been on. β€’ Battery reminders β€” For guitars with active pickups or a preamp, track battery changes so you never get a dead signal mid-set. β€’ Show log β€” Record gigs per guitar with venue and set length. Know which instrument has the most stage miles. β€’ Smart reminders β€” Set custom thresholds by days or number of shows. Get nudged before strings or batteries are overdue. Set any reminder to zero to turn it off. β€’ Cloud sync β€” Sign in and your collection syncs across devices. Works offline and reconciles automatically when you're back online. β€’ Sign in your way β€” Google, Apple, or email link. Whether you've got one workhorse or a wall full of them, My Guitar Log takes the guesswork out of maintenance so your gear sounds its best every time you plug in.
