Music practice, logged as training.
Duende times every session, tags what you worked on, and keeps three months of it on one screen.
Three months of work on one screen
Every session adds to the picture. A few weeks in you can see the whole thing at once: the good stretches, the gaps, the weeks you lost.
- A running streak
- Thirteen weeks on the heatmap, all of it in history
Know what you worked on, not just how long
Tag a session by what you were doing, and the record can tell you where the month went and which piece has had the hours.
- Nine kinds of practice, from technique to composition
- Notes mid-session, without stopping the clock
- Search by instrument or note
The hours are your training
Connect Strava and every session lands in the same feed as your runs and rides.

The details
The clock is the clock
Time runs against your phone’s clock, not against the app staying awake. Lock it, set it on the stand, walk away. Force-quit it and the session survives.
It notices when you stop
Allow the microphone and a session separates playing from silence, whether the phone is in your hand, on the stand or in your pocket. The audio is read on the device and deleted when you finish.
Whatever you play
Forty-plus instruments across strings, keys, wind, percussion and voice. Track as many as you play.
The name
Duende is Lorca’s word for the thing that turns up in a performance and cannot be taught. It only ever visits people who have done the hours.
Practice is the part nobody sees. No finish line, no race number, no personal best. Duende keeps the count.
