A piano practice journal for iOS
Sit down at the keys.
In The Keys is a practice journal that feels like the room where you play. Log your Passes, shape your Routines, and follow the long arc of your work — warm, unhurried, and entirely yours.
The app
Everything a practice session needs. Nothing that gets in the way.
In The Keys keeps the vocabulary of real practice — Routines, Studies, Passes — and stays quiet around it.
The Practice Room
Your home screen is a room lit by the local hour. A warm greeting, the Studies you’ve touched lately glowing by recency, and one gentle intention for the week.
Routines & Sections
Shape practice the way a teacher would: Routines like Morning Technique or Bach Recital Prep, grouped into Sections — warm-ups, repertoire, sight-reading.
Studies & Passes
A Study is a single piece or technical work. Each time you play it, you log a Pass — duration, tempo, key, and a note. The record builds itself.
Passages
Drilling the development, or bars 17–32? Name a Passage and track just that span, so the hard measures get their own history.
The Story
The Story keeps the long view: milestones reached, tempi earned, the shape of months of work. Progress you can sit with, kept for its own sake.
iPhone & iPad
Native on both, in sync over private iCloud. Plan at the desk, log at the piano. Your practice stays on your devices — yours alone.
A sitting
How a session goes.
In The Keys stays out of the way so your attention can be at the keyboard, not the screen.
Step into the room
Open the app to the light of the hour and a quiet note of where you left off.
Choose a Study
Pick from a Routine, or reach for something in your Repertoire. Name a Passage if you’re drilling a span.
Log your Pass
Play. When you’re done, set the tempo and key, and leave a note while it’s fresh.
Watch the Story
Over weeks, the milestones and tempi gather into a record of how your playing has grown.
A look inside
The room, soon.
Screens are on their way. For now, the three places you’ll spend your time.
Not a fitness app. Not a museum.
In The Keys is the room where you actually practice — ivory and rosewood, brass and felt, one warm light that follows the hour. It keeps your work and stays out of the way. No points, no pressure.
For iPhone and iPad.
