HalfStep is a practice journal for musicians, on guitar, piano, voice or any other instrument. Log every session, keep the take, and applaud others who practiced today.
Music practice is mostly the messy middle: the scale that finally clicked, the bar you drilled forty times, the tune that is nearly there. HalfStep is where you share it.
WITH OTHER PLAYERS
- Follow other musicians and see their sessions as they happen
- Bravo a take, leave a comment, join someone's Front Row
- See who gave the Bravos on any session
- Share a take as a Story, or send a link to the session
- Keep your account private and approve who follows you
WHILE YOU PRACTICE
- A metronome and a chromatic tuner, built in
- Record an audio or video take with the click still running
- Your take and the click keep going on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you can put the phone down and play
- Name the piece, the focus and how it went
OVER TIME
- Minutes, streaks and every session, logged
- Every piece you are working on, from first read through to Performing
- Then & Now, with HalfStep Pro: your first take beside your latest, ready to share
HalfStep is free, and every account can record its first three video takes. HalfStep Pro is an optional subscription that adds unlimited video takes of up to five minutes, recorded at 1080p, and Then & Now, for $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase and renews automatically unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
