The hardest part of practicing isn't playing — it's deciding what to play.

Every session spent re-planning is willpower spent before the first note. Logato does the deciding, so you spend your whole session playing.

The workflow

Three steps to optimal practice

01

Bring your material

Drop a Guitar Pro or MusicXML file and get a work with studies proposed automatically, paste a link to anything you're learning from — YouTube, Songsterr, Soundslice, Ultimate Guitar — or just add a title and say how it gets harder. No notation authoring, ever.

Import · Reference · Quick add

02

Generate your session

Tell Logato your time and energy. The engine scores every study — due dates, ladder gaps, deadlines, plateaus — and packs a balanced warmup–core–cooldown arc across technique, ear training, theory, and creativity.

SM-2 scheduling · Priority scoring · Time-boxed

03

Play, rate, repeat

Follow the guided runner with a built-in metronome and a live level check. A 30-second self-assessment feeds the algorithm, so tomorrow's session is smarter than today's — and your progress is a number you can watch climb.

The part nobody else built

Wraps whatever you already learn from

A Guitar Pro file, a YouTube lesson, your teacher's weekly assignment — your real practice material lives outside every practice app. Logato brings it in three ways, and there's no notation editor to fight with.

  • Import a Guitar Pro or MusicXML file — studies are proposed from its section markers and bar structure, tempo targets included
  • Paste a reference link — YouTube, Songsterr, Soundslice, Ultimate Guitar — and it becomes a timestamped reference on the work
  • Quick add — a title, a work type, and one plain-language question about how it gets harder is enough to create a study
  • No special treatment — every study competes on spaced-repetition merit like everything else

Features

Everything a serious musician needs

Built for deliberate practice. No fluff — every feature exists to make you better, faster.

Intelligent session generator

Input your available time and energy. Logato builds a structured, prioritized session in seconds — no planning, no decision fatigue.

Spaced repetition for motor skills

The SM-2 algorithm behind Anki, adapted for muscle memory with a motor-consolidation period. Struggling studies come back sooner; mastered ones space out.

Import from Guitar Pro & MusicXML

Drop a file and get a work with studies proposed from its section markers and bar structure — tempo targets included. No hand-authored notation, ever.

Six practice ladders, not just tempo

Tempo is one axis of six. Ear training climbs response pace, all-keys work climbs key count, memorization climbs how much support is removed — one mechanism schedules them all.

Retained mastery per minute

The dashboard leads with the metric that matters: how much of what you gained actually stuck, per minute you spent. Not hours logged — improvement retained.

Multi-metric self-assessment

Rate technical accuracy, rhythm, comfort, and satisfaction after each set. The algorithm weighs all four — because "how did it go?" is never one number.

Recommends a change when you stall

A stalled study doesn't just sit there. Logato recommends a change — ease the level, split it, add variation, or rest it — then checks whether it actually worked.

Flexible cadence, zero guilt

Practice three days a week? Perfect. No streaks, no shaming — the schedule adapts to the practice life you actually have.

Progress you can see

Mastery per study, skill ratings by area, minutes practiced, deadlines on pace or behind — your improvement, quantified on one dashboard.

The intelligence layer

Algorithmic scheduling,
built for music

Logato's priority engine scores every study across seven signals, then packs a session that's diverse, balanced, and focused on what actually needs work — and it can tell you why each study made the cut.

  • Due-date decayOverdue studies surface immediately, weighted by how overdue they are
  • Ladder gap boostThe further you are from your target level, on any axis, the higher the priority
  • Deadline urgencyStudies on a work with an approaching deadline climb automatically
  • Fail-recency multiplierRecent struggles push a study up the queue faster
  • Plateau detectionStagnant studies get flagged so the session brings variety instead
  • Measured discoveryNew material is introduced at a deliberate pace — never a flood
  • Maintenance urgencyFully learned studies still resurface on a retention schedule, not forgotten

Retained mastery over 8 weeks at 3 sessions/week. Gentle decay between sessions keeps priorities honest — and progress still climbs.

Flexible by design

Practice three days a week? Perfect.

Logato has no streaks, no guilt, and no idealized calendar. Mastery decays gently while you're away, priorities reshuffle to what matters most, and your next session starts from reality — whether you practice daily or Tuesday–Thursday–Sunday.

  • No streaks to keep up — practice on whatever days work for you.
  • Miss a week? Nothing resets. The schedule adapts and moves on.
  • Reminders match the cadence you set, and only when you want them.
FAQ

Fair questions

Is Logato another teaching app?

No. Logato doesn't teach you anything — it wraps the material you already learn from (your teacher, YouTube, a paid course, your own drills) and decides when and how to practice it for the best retention.

Do I need to read music or author notation?

No. A study can be as simple as a title and a tempo target — "chorus riff up to 90 bpm" is enough on its own. There's no notation editor: bring material in from a Guitar Pro or MusicXML file, a reference link, or just add it directly.

What if I only practice a few days a week?

Then you're exactly who Logato was built for. There are no streaks and nothing resets. Mastery decays gently while you're away, priorities reshuffle, and your next session picks up from reality — not from an idealized calendar.

Which instruments are supported?

Guitar and piano today. Bass and ukulele are on the roadmap.

How is this different from using Anki?

Anki schedules facts; Logato schedules motor skills. Early repetitions follow a consolidation curve tuned for muscle memory, sessions are packed into a warmup–core–cooldown arc within your time budget, and progress is measured on the axis that actually applies — tempo, keys covered, response pace — not just "remembered / forgot."

What does it cost?

Free to sign up, no credit card — and the free tier has everything you need: unlimited works and studies, 30 days of history. Pro removes the history limit and adds email reminders for $9/month, or $72/year.
