A practice log built around the take, not the timer. Log what you played, keep a recording of it, and watch a piece move from Learning to Performing — one half step at a time.

You don't fill in a profile. You practice, and the profile writes itself — your instruments, your hours, your repertoire, and the day each piece finally came together.
Hours, streaks, and songs-per-instrument are derived from the sessions you logged — not typed into a form you'll never update.
Every session can carry a recording, click included. Six weeks later, the proof you improved is a tap away — not a feeling you're trying to trust.
One colour is reserved for the day a piece reaches Performing — and for a video you capture once, right then. Rare on purpose.
Everything a practice session needs, in one place — and nothing it doesn't.
Click packs, a BPM ruler you can flick, and a take that captures the click with you — so the time feel is audible on playback.
A listening tuner with a green in-tune band, plus a drone for every pitch when you want to play against something steady.
Capture a clip mid-session without leaving the console. Recordings stay private, played back through short-lived signed links.
Learning, Developing, Refining, Performing. A session records which stage it reached, so the history falls out of the log.
Applaud a session the way you'd applaud a room. Take a seat in someone's Front Row and you'll know when they play.
A heatmap of days practiced, hours by instrument, and a streak that only counts when you actually sat down.
A piece doesn't get promoted because you said so — it moves when a session records that it got there. Reach Performing and HalfStep asks for one video, once. That's the artefact you'll still want in a year.
Tap ⊕ and play. The console keeps time, listens for pitch, and names the session for you if you'd rather not.
Technique, Scales, Rhythm, Sight-reading, Repertoire, or Improv — the pieces you touched, and a clip if it's worth keeping.
Your profile, instruments, and repertoire build themselves. So does your Front Row, as people start following the work.
You had lessons once. You want the habit back without starting a band.
Prove the week's practice happened — with recordings, not a signed sheet.
See what actually got practiced between lessons, and hear how it sounded.
Keep repertoire warm and know which pieces are performance-ready right now.
