Practice Smarter.
Turn fragmented practice materials into focused practice routines.
Music Practice Manager gathers all your practice materials — scores, backing tracks, videos, course links and notes — into one searchable Library. From there, build timed, personalised routines that pick up exactly where you left off.
Spend less time setting up and more time practising.
Organise your materials
Keep scores, backing tracks, PDFs, videos, course links and notes in one searchable library.
Build timed playlists
Create structured practice routines from individual items or collections, each with its own duration.
Use the Practice Controller
Control the timer, metronome, playlist navigation and notes from the floating Practice Controller while you practise.
Restore your workspace
Every practice item remembers its own window layout, duration and metronome settings — and restores them the instant you select it.
Music Practice Manager for macOS is available now. Start a free 30-day trial — no payment details required.
A clearer way to practise
Structured practice makes a difference
Most teachers and experienced musicians point to the same approach: structured sessions, short timed blocks and a metronome. MPM helps you put that into practice.
Structure Everything
Stop “noodling.” Organise your practice into clear, focused activities that target real improvement.
Work in 3–5 Minute Blocks
For technical exercises — scales, warm-ups, drills — spend just 3–5 minutes per item, then move on. This keeps your mind sharp and your practice balanced across multiple skills.
Keep Sessions Short & Frequent
A focused 20–30 minute session made up of timed blocks is far more effective than long, unfocused playing.
MPM is Built Around How Musicians Actually Improve
Progress is easier to sustain when every session has a plan. MPM helps you break practice into focused blocks, work with the built-in practice timer and metronome, and move through your routine without losing momentum.
With a clear plan, short focused blocks and fewer interruptions, practice becomes easier to sustain — and progress becomes easier to see.
The Practice Controller
Your floating session control bar.
The Practice Controller stays above your workspace so the essentials are always within reach: timer, metronome, playlist navigation, notes and layout capture. Move through your session without returning to the main app window or breaking your focus.
- check_circle Move through your playlist without switching screens
- check_circle Start, stop, and adjust the timer and metronome instantly
- check_circle Capture and restore window layouts on the fly
- check_circle View and update notes and URLs for each item
Stay focused. Stay in flow. No interruptions. No switching back and forth.
Restore your practice workspace
Snapshots save the window layout for a practice item or collection, so MPM can restore your workspace automatically next time. Open the right files, launch the right apps and put windows back where you need them.
- check_circle Capture your full desktop layout with one click
- check_circle Restore multiple apps and windows instantly
- check_circle Keep everything positioned exactly how you like it
- check_circle Switch between practice setups without disruption
Open an item… and your entire workspace appears, ready to go.
Open related materials together
Collections let you group the materials you use together — for example a score, backing track, Transcribe session, PDF or online resource. Launch the collection from a playlist and MPM opens the associated items together.
- check_circle Group files that belong together into a single collection
- check_circle Open multiple apps and files with one click
- check_circle Set a default practice duration and metronome for the entire collection
Select a collection and MPM opens the associated items, ready to practise.
Everything organised in your Library
The Library is the home for your practice materials. Add local files, web links and notes, then organise them with names, tags, default durations and metronome settings.
- check_circle Add files in seconds with drag & drop
- check_circle Save YouTube videos and online resources alongside local files
- check_circle Tag, filter, and search instantly
- check_circle Set BPM and practice duration for every item
No more scattered content. No more wasted time. Just a clean, structured Library ready for focused practice.
Build practice routines that keep you moving
Playlists turn your Library into a structured session. Add files, URLs and Collections in the order you want to practise them, set durations, then work through the routine using the Practice Controller.
- check_circle Build unlimited custom playlists
- check_circle Automatic timers for each practice item
- check_circle Quickly switch between routines
- check_circle See total session time at a glance
Stay disciplined. Follow your plan. Get the results you want.
