My Guitar Log

Read full description

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 • Per-guitar logbook — Add every guitar with brand, model, default string brand and gauge, and a photo. Each one keeps its own history. • String change tracking — Log every restring with date, brand, and gauge. See at a glance how long your current strings have been on. • Battery reminders — For guitars with active pickups or a preamp, track battery changes so you never get a dead signal mid-set. • Show log — Record gigs per guitar with venue and set length. Know which instrument has the most stage miles. • Smart reminders — 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. • Cloud sync — Sign in and your collection syncs across devices. Works offline and reconciles automatically when you're back online. • Sign in your way — 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.

About

PracTrack Timer

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. Features • Automatic practice tracking that listens for your instrument • Tells real playing from silence, talking, and background noise • Daily goals with a progress ring and a goal reached celebration • Practice streaks to keep you going • Session summaries with active time and efficiency • A calendar view of your practice history • Multiple profiles for different people or instruments • Email a practice report whenever you want to share your progress • Back up and restore your data
