About

PracTrack Timer

Features
Read full description

PracTrack measures how much you actually practice. Start a session, then just play. It listens for your instrument and counts the time you spend really playing, separating it from pauses, talking, and background noise, so you get an honest picture without watching a clock. At the end of each session you get a clear summary: how long you practiced, how much of that was active playing, and a timeline of the whole session. Over time, a calendar shows every day you practiced, shaded by how much you put in, so your progress is easy to see. Set a daily goal in minutes and watch a ring fill as you play. Reach it and the ring turns gold. Practice on consecutive days to build a streak, a simple way to stay motivated week after week. Add a profile for each person or instrument, each with its own goal, streak, and history. It works well for a family, a studio, or one player across several instruments. Want to share how it's going? Email a session report straight from the app. You can also back up all your data to a file and restore it whenever you need. Your privacy comes first. Audio is analyzed on your device in real time and is never recorded, saved, or sent anywhere. Nothing leaves your phone. Just play. PracTrack keeps track of the rest.
