What Practice Log does
Practice Log is the offline practice journal for the 65 million Americans who play guitar, piano, or any instrument. It pairs every practice session with the on-device metronome's BPM history so each piece gets a tempo-vs-date curve — the chart that explains why you're better today than last month. What Practice Log does: — Start a session. Pick the piece. Pick the tempo. Hit Go. The built-in metronome (AVAudioEngine) clicks at your BPM with subdivisions and accent patterns you choose. Practice. Tap Done. — Tempo curve per piece. Every BPM you practiced at is saved. Open a piece, see a Swift Charts line showing how fast you've worked your way up. The reason every paid app paywalls this is because it's the chart that proves the practice is working. — Session journal. Optional one-line note per session — what you focused on, what didn't click. Searchable later. — Repertoire library. All your pieces in one place: composer, key, time signature, current tempo, last practiced. Tap to start a new session on any piece. — Streak. Days practiced this week, this month. Supportive, no streak-lost guilt. — Per-piece total time. How many hours have you spent on this Chopin etude? The number you want to know on a bad day. — No account, no cloud, no subscription. Modacity is $12.99/month or $129/year and aggressive about auto-renew — your practice notebook should not be a recurring bill. For the 16 million Americans who picked up guitar in the last two years, the ~94M lifetime piano players, and the adult returners who just want their notebook back.

Why it exists
The problem
Serious amateurs want a private durable log of practice + tempo progress but Modacity is $129/year with auto-renew complaints, Andante is cheap but tempo-tracking-light, and Anytune doesn't journal at all.
What's different
How Practice Log stands out
Practice Log is the only iOS practice journal that auto-pairs each session with the on-device metronome's BPM history (Swift Charts per-piece tempo-vs-date), runs AVAudioEngine for subdivisions + accent patterns, and stores everything in SwiftData on this device — Modacity is $12.99/mo subscription with auto-renew com…
