Hear what you actually play, not what Bluetooth delay makes it sound like. If you practice guitar with Bluetooth headphones, you know the problem: what you hear back doesn't match what you played. The timing feels off. You can't tell if you're actually improving. TakeOne fixes that with automatic Bluetooth latency compensation. One calibrationβ€”a few tapsβ€”and your recordings play back perfectly aligned. No DAW. No cables. No setup. It also turns solo practice into playing with a band. Enter your song's chords once. Drums, bass, and pad follow your verse, chorus, and bridge automatically. For when practice needs to become something more: PRACTICE WITH A REAL BAND Build a chord chart for any song. Practice Band plays drums, bass, and pad that follow each section. Loop a tough passage until it feels right. CAPTURE THE TAKE YOU DESERVE Calibrate your Bluetooth output once. Record with your iPhone mic while monitoring through headphones. Playback and export are automatically latency-compensated β€” your timing is preserved. LAYER WITH THE BAND (PRO) Record rhythm, add a solo, finish with a vocal. Link a song chart and the band plays while you stack tracks. Adjust volume, mute, and nudge timing, then export the full mix. EXPORT FOR FEEDBACK OR POST Export clean audio (reduced background noise) or a square Clean Video with your take name and tempo. Send to your teacher, post to Instagram, or keep it for later. TUNE, SET TEMPO, AND GO Built-in tuner, metronome with time signatures and accent patterns, and a route guard that keeps your input and output where they belong β€” all in one practice loop. Includes: Bluetooth monitoring with iPhone mic recording One-time Bluetooth latency calibration per device Latency-compensated playback and export Metronome with tempo, time signatures, and accent patterns Latest Take with rename and export Recent Unsaved protection (5 most recent takes) Clean Export and Clean Video Takes library with saved-take management Songs: chord charts, Practice Band, and recorded versions (Pro) Layered Takes: 3-track recording with song band (Pro) Built-in guitar tuner Audio route guard Recordings stay on your device unless you export or share them. No account required. TakeOne is free to download. TakeOne Plus and TakeOne Pro are available as one-time purchases for users who want the saved-takes library, clean exports, Songs, and Layered Takes.

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.
