Using the practice timer

Starting a session

Open the app and tap Starton the Practice tab. The timer starts counting immediately, and you'll see your instrument and task type at the top. These help you track what kind of practice you did.

Task types

Before you start (or during a session), pick what you're working on:

• Scales & arpeggios, warm-ups and finger exercises
• Sight-reading, playing something for the first time
• Repertoire, pieces you're learning or polishing
• Technique, specific skills like dynamics, pedalling, or bowing
• Theory, reading, writing, or listening exercises
• Free practice, improvising, noodling, just playing

This isn't just a label. Your teacher can see what you've been focusing on, and it helps you spot patterns in your own practice over time.

Switching instruments

If you play more than one instrument, tap the instrument name at the top of the timer to switch. Each session is logged against one instrument. Free accounts can track one instrument, and Premium has no limit.

Finishing a session

Tap Stopwhen you're done. Mewstro saves the session, updates your streak, and the mascot celebrates. You can add an optional note about what you worked on. If you're in a teacher's studio, your teacher can read it too.

Adding a session manually

Forgot to start the timer? Tap Manual Entry on the Practice tab. Pick the date, how long you practised, your instrument, and the task type. It counts towards your streak and shows up on your calendar just like a timed session.

The metronome

Tap the metronome icon on the Practice tab to open it. Set your BPM, tap play, and you've got a steady beat. On Apple Watch, the metronome is haptic: you feel the beat on your wrist instead of hearing it, so it doesn't interfere with your playing.
