Metrie.

Play the way you always do.Metrie keeps the time, listens and remembers. A practice companion for your music stand that counts the minutes you actually play and shows you what to work on next.In beta on Android.

Why

Practice is where musicians are made.

Most practice disappears. You sit down, you play, and a week later you can't say what you worked on, how long you really played, or whether it helped. Metrie remembers it all for you, quietly, and turns it into the next good step.

Counts real playing

It listens through the mic and counts the minutes you play, not the minutes the app is open.

Hands-free

Talk to it from across the room: start, pause, the next part, a slower tempo, a note for later.

Knows what's next

A library built for your instrument, and plans that adapt to how your sessions go.

Private by design

Your audio, your words and your recordings stay on your phone.

01 — Up next

Every day starts with Up next.

Open Metrie and today's practice is waiting: what to play, for how long, and why. It carries on from last time, with what was weak last time in mind. Pick 10, 30 or 60 minutes, choose an area, or just play freely.

Before a session starts, Metrie shows it part by part, with how long each takes: a warm-up, the core work, something to bring it together. Tap any part to read what it is and how to do it. Then say “start”, take fifteen seconds to pick up your instrument, and go.

Not every day needs a plan. Free play is a clock and a listening ear, as long as you like. Name it afterwards and it joins the rest of your history.

The Practice page: the week's days, the Up next card, session lengths and an area picker.
A session preview: the session's title, its length, and each part with its minutes.
02 — In the session

Hands stay on the instrument.

The screen is made to be read from a metre away, on a music stand. Each part counts down on its own, and the colour of the page tells you where you are at a glance. Everything else is said.
“Next”
“Go back”
“Five more minutes”
“How much time is left?”
“Metronome at ninety”
“A little slower”
“Stop the click”
“Note that the shift into bar 33 is rushed”
“Record”
“Stop recording”
“Play it back”
“Pause”
“Carry on”
“How do I do this?”
Stop playing for a while and the clock waits for you. A minute before the end, Metrie lets you know. When the time is up, the session closes itself.
03 — Voice

A voice that understands musicians.

Speech recognition runs entirely on your phone, tuned to the words musicians use: raga names, scale and chord names, tempo markings, technique. No internet, no cloud, nothing sent anywhere. Tap the orb and ask.
01“What are we doing today?”Today's practice, and how much of your daily time is left.
02“What should I practise for speed?”Something to play, and how to play it.
03“What is raga Yaman?”An answer straight from the library.
04“Tuner.” “Metronome.”And it opens.
It answers in a calm, warm voice, closer to a learned old friend than a drill sergeant. It notices when you've come back after a pause, encourages you on the days it's hard, and never nags.
04 — Library
1,300+Exercises, routines, approaches and readings

A library written for your instrument.

Three complete instrument libraries, organised into chapters from setup and posture to technique, repertoire, theory and history.

Every practice chapter has two halves: what you play (the scale, the étude, the raga) and how you play it (touch, tone, timing, tension, care). Metrie pairs them, so your session works on both.

Ask for anything in your own words. Search understands related words, so you never need an exercise's exact title.

The Library: chapters to practise, filtered by What and How.
An exercise page: its description, level, what it's for, and buttons to practise it or search online.
05 — Plans

Plans that grow with you.

Choose a plan of a week, a month, three months, six months or a year. Tell Metrie where you stand, what you already know, and what you want to get better at. It lays out every practice day: what to play, and the focus to play it with.

The plan listens back. After each session you rate how present you were and whether it got better. When something didn't move, the work comes round again. When three sessions go well, it climbs. Miss a day and nothing is lost: the work moves to the next one.

Choosing a plan: plan lengths with their sessions and minutes.
Today's plan, read out: three things to practise, each with its area.
06 — Progress

Momentum you can see.

Your practice becomes a living spiral. Every day you play adds to your momentum, and the more you have, the denser the spiral and the faster it turns. Below it: the days you've played this week against your goal, how present you've been, minutes by day, and where you stand in each area of your instrument.

Every session is kept: what you played and for how long, the tempo you reached, your notes, and what you said. Open any one to see it in full, or repeat it with a tap.

The Dashboard: the momentum spiral with its score, days this week, focus, and minutes a day.
All sessions, grouped by week, each with its subject and minutes played.
07 — Tools

The tools you reach for, built in.

The tuner showing the note being played and how far it is from in tune.

Tuner

A precise, steady tuner with modes for guitar, bass, keys, strings, tabla and voice, in Western or Indian notation.

The metronome with its tempo and controls.

Metronome

A steady click you can set by voice, with backing tracks to play against: pop, jazz ii–V–I, 12-bar blues, minor, gospel and a modal vamp.

Recording in progress: the time, a live waveform and the words spoken so far.

Recorder

Record yourself and listen back. Whatever you say while recording is written down beside the take, so you can find it later. Say “stop recording” and keep playing. Share any take in a tap.

A voice check report: an overall score and a short written summary of the voice today.

Voice check, for singers

Hold a note and Metrie measures pitch accuracy, steadiness, breath support, clarity, clean tone and range, then tells you in a few plain words how your voice is today.

08 — Voice check

Hear how your voice is moving.

Hold one comfortable note on “aa”. Metrie listens and scores what it heard out of ten: pitch accuracy, steadiness, breath support, clarity, clean tone and balance, with what each one means.

Every check is kept, so you can see how your voice moves over the weeks, against your own baseline.

Voice check: hold a comfortable note, the middle of your voice.
Scores out of ten: pitch accuracy, steadiness, breath support, clarity, clean tone, balance.
Your voice over time: overall score and tone across recent checks.
09 — Always a tap away

Ready when you are.

01Home-screen widgetToday's practice, ready to start, plus the tuner, metronome, recorder and library in one tap.
02Gentle remindersOn your practice days, at the hour you choose, and never once you've played.
03After every sessionA few quick questions, answered by voice or by tap: how present you were, whether it got better, what to remember next time.
