About Andante
Andante is a music practice journal and companion app that helps musicians stay organized, consistent, and motivated. It centers on logging practice sessions for any instrument and reflecting on how those sessions go, combining tracking with built-in practice tools. Sessions can be run live with a built-in timer and tools or added manually after the fact, and users can track their mood and focus to notice patterns in productivity. Practice tools include a metronome, a drone tuner, and an audio recorder. A Journal lets you write notes, plans, and ideas in one place, while motivation features include practice streaks, daily goals, and charts that visualize progress. Other features include practice reminders, a Home Screen widget, Siri Shortcuts, iCloud sync across devices without an account, multiple practice profiles, and the ability to export practice data as a CSV file. Andante is aimed at students and hobbyist musicians who want a simple, well-designed way to build a practice habit. It is currently available only on Apple platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs and Vision), with no Android version. It follows a freemium model: the app is free to download, and an Andante Pro in-app purchase unlocks premium features such as unlimited profiles and data export.
About ShedSpace
ShedSpace is a family of practice tools for musicians from Sprung Interactive, sold as separate products: the ShedSpace Practice Logger, a web app that runs in any browser, and the ShedSpace app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android, which combines a metronome, a drone and a recorded drummer. The same tools are also available as plugins for the Darkglass Anagram pedal. In the Practice Logger, charts, backing tracks and Spotify or YouTube links are attached to each practice item, so they are at hand when the timer starts. Time is tracked per item as well as per session, every session appears on a calendar, and reports break practice time down by category, item and week. Users can build practice plans, set a goal for each item and loop the section they are drilling. The mobile app runs its metronome, drone and Pocket, a drummer recorded on a real kit at several tempos, on one clock, with 40 time signatures, a 20 to 300 BPM range and a drone in seven timbres. ShedSpace is made for any instrument. Most of its users today are bass and guitar players. The Practice Logger costs $9 a month or $90 a year after a 7-day free trial with no card required, and logged practice is kept if the trial ends. The mobile app costs $9.99 a year or $29.99 once, also with 7 days free. ShedSpace and ShedPocket for Darkglass Anagram are sold on the Anagram Marketplace.
