In The Keys

A warm piano practice journal

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A welcoming home for your practice. Plan Routines, log each Pass with a quiet timer, and let the room follow the light of your day. No streaks, no debt, no rush. In The Keys is an inviting practice journal for the piano. It is the room where you actually sit down to work — warm and unhurried, with the patience of a good teacher. You plan what to practice, log each time you play it, and watch the long view take shape at your own tempo. The room follows the light of your day. A single warm light source moves from pale dawn to full daylight to candlelit night, so the app feels like an evening at the keys when you practice in the evening. There are no streaks to keep, no debt to repay, and nothing is ever shown as something you failed to do. Each week is a fresh page. WHAT IT IS A quiet place to organise your practice and reflect on it. • Build a Routine — a top-level practice plan, like "Morning Technique" or "Bach Recital Prep". • Group your work into Sections, such as warm-ups and repertoire. • Add Studies — the individual pieces and technical work you return to. • Keep your Repertoire and your technical work side by side, each with its own history. THE PRACTICE LOOP • Sit down for a Pass — one logged time through a Study — with a gentle session timer. • Note the tempo and key you worked in, and leave a few words for next time. • Name a Passage when you drilled one span of a piece — "the development", "bars 17–32" — or leave the whole piece as the default. • Let The Story keep the long view: how a piece has settled over many Passes, and the quiet milestones along the way. WORK TOWARD A PROGRAM Point your pieces at a Program — a dated recital you are preparing for — and see the pieces gather toward the day. Once it is performed, the Program becomes a keepsake of the season. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your practice stays yours. In The Keys keeps everything in your own private iCloud, syncing across your iPhone and iPad with no account to create and no sign-in. There is no separate server and no advertising. The only data the app gathers is privacy-preserving, anonymous product analytics through TelemetryDeck — no personal information, no tracking, no profile of you. IN THE KEYS PRO In The Keys is free to use for your everyday practice. In The Keys Pro opens the full room: • Unlimited Routines. • The full library of practice templates to start from. • Tempo insights — the sparkline and your full history, beyond your most recent Passes. • Programs, to plan a recital and keep it as a season's keepsake. • Plan your Sittings ahead, and share a typeset card of a season when it is done. Your free practice is never taken away. In The Keys Pro is an auto-renewing subscription — US$2.99/month or US$29.99/year.
