The practice app that blocks distractions.
PracticeMode uses system-level app blocking to keep your phone out of the way during practice — so you actually play instead of scroll.
Free to start. Pro features unlock with a 14-day free trial, then $4.99/month.
Everything serious musicians need.
A generous free tier for everyone, and Pro features for players who want to go deeper.
App Blocking
Block distracting apps and websites during practice using Apple’s Family Controls — system-level, automatic, and reliable. Turns on when you start, off when you finish.
Structured Sessions
Build multi-segment practice plans with auto-advancing timers — Warm-up → Scales → Repertoire. Save them as reusable presets for one-tap starts.
Cross-Device Sync
Practice history syncs across all your Apple devices via iCloud in real time. App blocking even activates on follower devices when you start a session anywhere.
Session Timer
Start practicing in seconds. Free-form sessions with custom durations, 11 built-in categories, and the ability to create your own. Pause and resume anytime.
History & Streaks
Track session history, current and longest streaks, and weekly stats. See your progress at a glance and stay accountable day after day.
Live Activity Timer
Real-time countdown right on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. See your instrument, duration, and segment progress without even unlocking your phone.
Share with Teacher
Generate a formatted practice report for any time range and share it via the iOS share sheet. Great for students keeping teachers in the loop.
60+ Instruments
Comprehensive instrument library organized by family: Woodwinds, Brass, Strings, Percussion, Keyboard, Voice, and more. Practice and track multiple instruments.
Practice Presets
Save favorite session setups for one-tap starts. Quick Warmup, Full Session, and Deep Practice templates are included out of the box.
Simple, honest pricing.

PracticeMode Labs LLC
PracticeMode Labs is an independent software company based in Little Rock, Arkansas. We build focused, well-crafted apps for people who take their craft seriously — whether that’s music, business, or something in between. Our work is rooted in a simple belief: software should make life clearer, not busier.
“The best practice isn’t longer — it’s more intentional.”
PracticeMode Labs was founded by someone who spent years in enterprise software at a Fortune 100 company before leaving to build Rock Town Distillery — Arkansas’ first legal distillery since Prohibition. That combination of deep technical experience and hands-on entrepreneurship shapes how we build: with the discipline of enterprise development and the urgency of a small business that actually has to work.
PracticeMode started as a personal problem. Every time a practice session began, the phone became a distraction. Nothing on the market solved it the right way — so we built it ourselves. That same spirit drives everything we make at PracticeMode Labs: identify a real problem, solve it properly, and ship something worth using.
