About this tool
Log practice minutes and metronome tempos per exercise, then see totals, streaks, tempo gains and a next-session ladder.
A metronome practice log records three numbers per block — what you practised, the tempo you set, and how long you spent — so progress can be measured in beats per minute rather than by feel. This tool totals your minutes, tracks the first and last tempo reached on every exercise, counts consecutive practice days, and builds the next tempo ladder from a start tempo, a target and a step size. Everything stays in your browser.

First and last logged BPM sit side by side, so progress is a number, not an impression.
Long blocks count more than short ones, which stops a single fast run flattering the average.
Consecutive practice days are counted from the log, and today counts as unbroken if you practised yesterday.
Small steps of about 4 to 8 BPM are usual, because that is roughly a 5 to 10 percent jump at typical practice tempos and stays below the point where technique breaks down. Only move up once the passage is clean twice in a row at the current rung.
Start at the fastest tempo you can play the passage accurately with no hesitation — often 50 to 60 percent of the performance tempo. A metronome click at 60 BPM is one second apart; at 120 BPM it is 500 milliseconds, so halving the tempo doubles the time you have per note.
Short focused blocks of 10 to 20 minutes on one specific problem generally beat one long undirected session, and logging them separately is what makes the split visible. This log accepts any block from one minute upward and totals them per day.
