About Modacity
Modacity is a music practice companion app for musicians of any instrument or genre, designed to organize practice sessions, keep them focused, and track progress over time. It is built around the concept of deliberate practice, helping users work efficiently toward their musical goals. The app bundles tools that musicians would otherwise gather from separate apps, including an audio recorder, metronome, tone/drone generator, tuner, and practice timer, alongside note-taking that can be displayed directly on the practice screen. Users can build practice playlists of items to work through, rate and prioritize them with a star system, and follow a guided deliberate-practice mode for high-priority pieces. It logs time spent and practice history, lets you compare past and recent recordings to hear improvement, and supports practice reminders. Modacity is aimed at students, hobbyists, and professional musicians who want more structured, accountable practice. It runs on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Macs and Vision) and on Android phones and tablets. It uses a freemium subscription model: core practicing is free, while a paid subscription unlocks full statistics, complete history, additional metronome/drone/tuner options, and unlimited notes, with scholarships and studio discounts available on request.
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.
