Pricing
RepLog is free to download and use on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. A one-time Pro in-app purchase unlocks the full feature set. No subscription, no recurring fees.
Pro unlocks the full feature set: unlimited goals, custom goal types (define your own fields, icons, and colors), full session history (free tier shows the last 30 days), the Analytics tab - practice streaks, time-per-goal breakdowns, BPM history charts, and trends - plus practice recording and iCloud sync across your devices.
Practice reminders are coming in a future update. All future Pro features are included in the one-time purchase.
Yes. Pro unlocks on Mac, iPhone, and iPad when you’re signed in with the same Apple ID. The Apple Watch companion uses the iPhone app - no separate Watch purchase.
Yes. Your personal Macs, iPhones, and iPads signed in with the same Apple ID are covered under standard App Store licensing. Turn on iCloud sync to keep practice data aligned across them.
Compatibility
Mac, iPhone, iPad, and an Apple Watch practice companion (pairs with the iPhone app).
RepLog for Mac requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later. It runs on macOS 11 through 15 Sequoia.
Yes. The Mac app is a universal binary - native on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs with no Rosetta translation. iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch builds are native as well.
Features
Any instrument. RepLog is not guitar-specific - guitar, bass, piano, drums, violin, winds, voice, whatever you practice. The session tracker, goal system, and metronome work for everyone. The chromatic tuner works for any pitched instrument.
When you create a goal, you set a target BPM. After each practice segment, RepLog asks for your current BPM. It calculates your progress percentage as current ÷ target × 100 and shows it on the goal card and dashboard - on Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
If BPM isn’t what you’re tracking, you can log a plain completion percentage instead - or both.
The tuner uses your device microphone and autocorrelation pitch detection to find the fundamental frequency of what you’re playing. It shows the nearest note name, octave, frequency in Hz, and how many cents sharp or flat you are.
The display uses a majority-vote stability filter so it doesn’t flicker between notes - it only updates when it’s confident enough readings agree. The system will ask for microphone permission the first time you use it on Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
Yes. With iCloud sync enabled (Pro), practice data - goals, history, dashboard, and media - stays aligned between Mac, iPhone, and iPad on the same Apple ID. The Apple Watch companion talks to your iPhone; synced data reaches Watch through the phone.
On Mac, you can also keep a local database in an iCloud Drive or Dropbox folder for multi-Mac folder sync (separate from CloudKit sync with iPhone/iPad).
Privacy & data
RepLog is local-first. Sessions, goals, and progress live on your devices. If you turn on iCloud sync, that practice data syncs through Apple iCloud (CloudKit) between Mac, iPhone, and iPad - we don’t run our own servers for your journal. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Each device keeps a local SQLite database (on Mac, typically in Application Support). With iCloud sync on, Apple also stores synced records in your iCloud account. It’s your data - you can back it up, inspect it, or delete it at any time.
