FretPulse vs Crank. Guitar Practice Log

FretPulse auto-generates your daily practice routine, tracks your BPM progress exercise by exercise, and guides you through every drill with real-time scrolling notation. Built for guitarists who practice with intention. Stop winging it. Start getting better. PERSONALIZED DAILY ROUTINES FretPulse builds a fresh practice plan based on your skill level, focus areas, and session length — Mechanics & Dexterity, Lead Articulation, Rhythm & Groove, or Fretboard Navigation. Your routine refreshes on a schedule you control (1–7 days) so you're never grinding the same thing. SPEED TRAINER BUILT IN Set a start BPM, a target BPM, and an increment. FretPulse walks you up to tempo automatically — the same way serious musicians build speed. No separate app needed. REAL-TIME NOTATION & METRONOME Every exercise plays back with a scrolling staff and a live playhead so you always know where you are. Built-in metronome with Always On and Count-In modes. Independent volume for both click and guitar. TRACK BPM MASTERY PER EXERCISE FretPulse remembers your working tempo and personal-best BPM for every single exercise. Rate your effort after each session and your progress updates automatically — so you can see exactly how far you've come. GROWING EXERCISE LIBRARY Hundreds of exercises across Alternate Picking, Legato, Sweep Picking, String Bending, Strumming, Scales, Chords, Tapping, and more — organized by technique and difficulty. New exercises added regularly. CUSTOM ROUTINES & PRE-BUILT PLAYLISTS Build your own practice playlists from the full library. Drag to reorder, set per-exercise durations, and return to them any time. Or start from a pre-built routine and clone it to make it your own. DRILL ANY SECTION Loop a specific measure range to isolate exactly what needs work. Set work/rest intervals so your hands recover between rounds. No restarting the whole exercise just to hit one section. STREAKS & FOCUS ANALYTICS See your practice streak, total time by category, technique breakdown charts, and recent personal bests — all in one dashboard view. FREE TO TRY Jump in with a full-featured demo — no account, no credit card.
