What it is

Andante is a music practice companion for iOS and macOS that combines session logging, practice tools, reflection, and progress tracking. Users can run a timed session or add one manually; tools include a metronome, drone tuner, audio recording, notes, and reminders. A journal records mood and focus as well as thoughts, plans, notes, and ideas. Charts, goals, and streaks help track practice, and the app supports repertoire management and recording review. Practice data is stored locally and backed up to private iCloud by default. Sharing sessions and reactions with friends is optional; turning it on uploads some data to Andante’s server, while the app can otherwise remain offline. Users can export practice data as CSV, and Pro users can export the practice log and create unlimited profiles. The app is free to download with in-app purchases; Andante Pro costs 2.99 USD once. Compatibility requires iOS 17 or later, iPadOS 17 or later, or macOS 14 or later on an Apple M1 or later Mac. The maker says it is not currently developing an Android version.
