Features guide

Precision practice tools in one dark glass app: chromatic tuner, metronome (including mixed meter), practice recorder, and journal. Everything stays on your device unless you export or share it.

Tuner

Chromatic auto-detect with note, octave, cents, and Hz. Color feedback locks green near in-tune; the gauge updates smoothly with low jitter.

  • Key / transposition — concert or common band & orchestra keys so the display matches your written part.
  • Tone / drone — sustain a reference pitch (with optional fifth). Voices: Pure, Warm, Reed. Octave − / +.
  • A4 calibration — reference pitch 415–466 Hz in Settings.
  • Input meter — signal strength and live dBFS (0 = digital max; normal levels are negative), plus a clear no-signal state. Mic processing is optimized for pitch accuracy.

Metronome

Professional click with intelligent meter feel, mixed-meter maps, and a loud clean Strike voice that follows system volume. Lookahead Web Audio scheduling keeps time rock-solid.

  • Tempo — 30–250+ BPM (up to ♪ rates for compound meters and maps), tap tempo, − / +, presets. Double-tap the big number to reset (120 single meter; ♪ = 240 in Map).
  • Time signature & count — common meters plus compound/additive feels (e.g. 6/8 In 2 / In 6, 5/8 2+3 / 3+2). BPM converts so pulse speed stays true when you change count.
  • Map (mixed meter) — loop bars with different time signatures on a shared eighth-note pulse (♪). Sample loop, up to 16 bars, save up to 3 named maps, bar strip and quick-load chips while Map is on.
  • Subdivision — labels match the meter (x/4: Beat · 8ths · Triplets · 16ths; x/8: 8ths · 16ths · Triplets · 32nds).
  • Accents — tap pads to weight beats; stronger on group heads and map accents.
  • Across tabs — start the click, then use Tuner, Record, or Journal; status chip stays available.
  • Practice timer — global session timer from every tab.

Record

Practice recordings stay on this device. Library: favorites, rename, bulk actions, and A/B compare.

  • Manual record — start/stop with level meter and waveform while capturing.
  • Listen — hands-free: detects when you play, records the phrase, stops after silence. Optional auto-playback after each recording.
  • Library — star recordings, filter All / ★, swipe to delete, bulk select, A/B compare two recordings, share via the system sheet.
  • Metronome + record — run the click or drone while recording.
  • Quality — AAC/MP4 when supported for best mobile quality and sharing.

Journal

Lean practice journal with streak, week dots, and full-screen writing.

  • Timeline — week dots and streak. Collapsible “This week” card with days / minutes / recordings tiles and a settable weekly day goal (Off · 3–7d).
  • Entries — title, rich text (bold, lists, headings, quotes), mood, minutes, linked recording, photo, voice memo, location.
  • Star & share — favorites and system share when available.
  • Delete — swipe left or delete from the editor. Linked recordings stay in Record.

Backup & devices

Move to a new phone or browser without losing your library.

  • Export all — settings (including Map), journal, and recordings.
  • Import — restore elsewhere; store the file in iCloud Drive, Files, or Google Drive yourself.
  • Reminders — occasional toast to export after you’ve been practicing.

Sharing

  • Share practice cents — app link from Settings.
  • Share a recording — system sheet for audio files.
  • Share a journal entry — text plus media when supported.
  • Add to Home Screen — install guide in Settings (iOS & Android).

Privacy

Microphone audio is processed on your device. We do not upload your recordings or journal.

  • Optional analytics (page views) may run if configured; practice media stays local.
  • Export is under your control — you choose where the backup goes.
  • Location — only if you tap GPS on a journal entry; never background tracking.
  • Clearing site data removes local data — export first if you care about it.
