When I started sketching out FlowFrame, it wasn’t just about building a better metronome; it was about creating a space where practice tracking could feel focused, intentional, and rewarding. A place where structure meets flexibility, and where your growth is something you can actually see.
One of the ways FlowFrame supports that is through its practice tracking system. I use it every day, and I figured it might be helpful to show you what that looks like.

Start with a Plan
When I sit down to practice, I open FlowFrame on my phone (though it works just as well on desktop or tablet). I head to the Practice Planner and sketch out a rough outline for the session (or use one I’ve created in advance). Blocks for buzzing, technique work, repertoire—whatever I’m focusing on that day.

Each block gets a label, a projected time, maybe a tempo goal, and a few tags. The tags aren’t just for show; they feed into the analytics later, helping me see how my time gets distributed across different focus areas. (Spoiler: I spend more time on ensemble work than I thought.)

You can also link click tracks to each block. So if I’m running a tricky excerpt from Alarm Will Sound repertoire, I can pull up a custom FlowFrame click with shifting meters and accelerandos baked right in. No fiddling with external apps or cobbled-together solutions. It’s all there.
Practice, Review, Repeat
Once I’m ready, I tap “Start,” and the session begins. If I want, I can record myself. FlowFrame captures the audio and displays a waveform, which I can slow down, annotate with comments or markers, and revisit later.

At the end of the session, FlowFrame prompts a few reflection questions. I’ve customized mine to ask things like, “What surprised me today?” or “What’s something I want to revisit tomorrow?” I don’t always write a novel, but jotting a quick note helps me stay engaged.
Why It Matters
All that data (tags, tempo progress, time spent, reflections) gets saved and visualized in the Review section. It’s not about gamifying practice (though I won’t lie, the confetti is satisfying). It’s about helping you stay connected to the why behind the work.


It’s easy to get lost in the daily grind of practice. FlowFrame helps zoom out, spot patterns, and adjust. Am I neglecting scales? Have I made real progress on that etude? Did I actually do what I said I’d do?
Now I can answer those questions.
Built with You
As always, FlowFrame’s still growing. Many of the improvements come from conversations with musicians who’ve shared what they need and what’s missing in their practice lives. If you’ve got thoughts, I’m listening.
Let me know what you think, or better yet, log in, build a plan, and start tracking.
Your future self will thank you.
