Practice diary · Metronome · Pitch monitor · Recorder

Come back to it.

Riprova is a practice diary with a metronome, a tone generator, a pitch monitor and a recorder built in. It is a mobile app and runs in a browser too, with or without a connection.

In private testing. Not open for sign-up yet.

For people aged 18 or over. We ask for an email address and nothing else, and you confirm it by email before it is added. See the privacy notice.

Riprova's home screen on a phone: a Start session button, tuner, tone, metronome and record shortcuts, this week's sessions, a goal with its date, and the latest diary entries.

In the app

Tell it how long you have got.

Choose 10 to 60 minutes, or drag for any other time. Riprova suggests a plan from your own ratings, how long it has been since you last played each piece, and what you are working towards. It never opens with your hardest piece, you can change anything, and Just start skips it entirely. Nothing is scored.

The planner on a phone: How long have you got, with 30 minutes chosen, and a suggested plan that starts with a warm-up.

Goals with dates and steps.

Set a goal for an exam or a concert, with its exam board and its date. Add the steps along the way, each with a date of its own if you want one, and tick them off. Progress reads as a count, like “2 of 4 done”, never a percentage or a score. Tag your pieces to a goal and it shows the sessions and recordings you have put towards it.

The goals screen in a browser: Grade 5 piano with the ABRSM board and its date, 2 of 4 steps done, four steps each with a tick box and some with a date, and a Summer concert goal below it.

A pitch monitor that watches you play.

Play a note and see its name and how many cents sharp or flat it is, drawn as you go. Switch to a single-note view when you only want one. Set a transposing instrument once and the pitch monitor and tone generator share it. It shows your sound; it does not mark you.

A metronome you can shape.

Set a tempo or tap it in, choose beats per bar and subdivisions, and tap any beat on the ring to accent it or silence it.

The metronome in a browser, running at 100 beats per minute in four, a ring of beats with the first accented and the current beat lit.

Logged in a tap or two.

Start a session in one tap, or log one you have already played. Mark each part green, amber or red as you finish, with a tempo if you want one. Your diary and goals fill in from that, and a goal shows the sessions and recordings you have tagged to it.

The repertoire list on a phone: pieces with their composers and a coloured dot for how each last went.

In a browser too.

The same app runs in a browser on a laptop or desktop, with the same diary, goals and recordings. It works offline and catches up when you are back online.
