“Exactly what I was looking for”

Was looking for a simple app to organize my piano practice using a timer logic, a bit like a tabata timer. I haven’t explored the stats section yet but I can definitely see how useful it’s going to be

What can Practice Timer do for you?

A comprehensive method built around how musicians truly improve.

  1. 1

    Build your plan

    Simply enter your exercise names, define their durations, optionally assign a key, and you're all set.

  2. 2

    Focus every minute

    Each exercise counts down automatically, so you can stay focused instead of deciding what to do next.

  3. 3

    Micro rest periods

    Automatic rest intervals that help your brain absorb and consolidate what you've just learned.

  4. 4

    See yourself improve

    Each metric helps you transform consistent practice into clear, measurable results over time.

The Plan tab: a weekly day strip, today's 32-minute session summary with LTP-Boost score, and a list of named exercises — ascending and descending scales in G major, all triad inversions in E-flat major — each tagged with a focus type, key, and duration.
The Focus Mix breakdown: a donut chart of 5 hours 25 minutes total practice split across eight focus types — repertoire, scales, technique, ear training, chords, harmony, arpeggios and improv — each with its share and trend, above a Key Areas panel showing 6 of 12 key areas explored.

The Science · LTP-Boost

Working longer isn't the solution. Managing your time is.

We tend to believe that progress comes from pushing harder. In reality, learning happens when you rest and allow your brain to assimilate what you've accomplished — LTP-Boost is the first metric designed to measure this process.

Strong, well-rested session

What is LTP-Boost?

Before you play a single note, LTP-Boost evaluates how well your training and recovery are structured to support the learning process. A single score, clear feedback, and the confidence that your efforts are moving in the right direction.

Long-Term Potentiation · LTP

This is the biological process behind long-term learning. It is during this phase that the brain strengthens neural connections, turning repetition into real skill — a process that largely takes place during rest.

  • Reads your work-and-rest balance instantly
  • Scores it 0–100 before you start
  • Watch it progress as you optimize your work and recovery

Same 75 minutes. Very different scores.

Two sessions, identical practice time. Structure is the only difference — and structure is exactly what LTP-Boost measures.

Structured session

75 min total

94/100

Excellent

3 rounds of 3 short exercises — 20-second micro-breaks between exercises, 5 minutes of rest between rounds.

Unbroken session

75 min total

49/100

Poor

One continuous 75-minute run with no breaks. Recovery never happens, so consolidation never starts.
