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

Add your own drills, capture exercises from the lessons and courses you already follow — a YouTube video, a paid course, your teacher's assignments — or adopt curated starter bundles. Notation is optional: a title and a tempo target is enough.

Lessons · Courses · Your own exercises · Starter bundles

02

Generate your session

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

03

Play, rate, repeat

Follow the guided runner with notation and a built-in metronome. 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 the lessons you already learn from

YouTube videos, a paid course, your teacher's weekly assignments — your real practice material lives outside every practice app. Logato brings it inside. Paste a link, attach the exercises, and the optimizer schedules them alongside everything else you're working on.

  • Lessons with embedded video — paste a YouTube URL and it plays right on the lesson page
  • Courses group lessons into a series, with progress rolled up automatically
  • One tap turns a lesson into a ready-to-run practice session
  • No special treatment — lesson exercises compete 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 exercises come back sooner; mastered ones space out.

Lessons & Courses

Paste a lesson URL, attach its exercises, and practice them as a unit — with embedded video and rolled-up progress. Your real learning material, finally inside your practice system.

Opt-in starter catalog

Skill-focused bundles — chord foundations, picking, ear training — you adopt into your own library. A running start, never a forced curriculum.

BPM tracking & projections

Log your comfortable tempo each session. Logato charts your speed over time and projects when you'll hit your BPM goals.

Multi-metric self-assessment

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

Notation, optional by design

A lightweight shorthand renders live as guitar tab, sheet music, fretboard diagrams, or lead sheets. Or skip notation entirely — most exercises don't need it.

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 exercise, skill ratings by category, hours practiced, goals on pace or behind — your improvement, quantified on one dashboard.

The intelligence layer

Algorithmic scheduling,
built for music

Logato's priority engine scores every exercise 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 exercise made the cut.

  • Due-date decayOverdue exercises surface immediately, weighted by how overdue they are
  • BPM gap boostThe further you are from your target tempo, the higher the priority
  • Goal urgencyExercises tied to an approaching deadline climb automatically
  • Fail-count multiplierRecent struggles push an exercise up the queue faster
  • Plateau detectionStagnant exercises get flagged so the session brings variety instead
  • Prerequisite awarenessDependent exercises wait until their foundations reach mastery
  • Measured discoveryNew material is introduced at a deliberate pace — never a flood

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 streak mechanics — ever. That's a promise, not a missing feature.
  • Miss a week? Nothing resets. The schedule adapts and moves on.
  • Reminders match the cadence you set — daily nagging not included.
Built-in notation

Notation when you want it.
Never when you don't.

A lightweight shorthand renders live as guitar tab, sheet music, fretboard diagrams, or lead sheets — right inside your practice session. Try editing it below. Or skip notation entirely; a title and a tempo target is a complete exercise.

FAQ

Fair questions

Is Logato another teaching app?

No — and that's the point. Yousician-style apps sell you a curriculum. Logato is a practice optimizer: 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 maximum retention.

Do I need to read music or learn notation shorthand?

No. An exercise can be as simple as a title and a tempo target — "chorus riff up to 90 BPM" is a complete, schedulable exercise. Notation (tab, sheet music, fretboard diagrams, lead sheets) is there when you want it, never required.

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, with notation renderers for both. 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 in BPM and multi-metric quality — not just "remembered / forgot."

What does it cost?

Free to sign up, no credit card — and the free tier is a complete practice system: up to 20 exercises, 2 active goals, and 30 days of history. Pro removes the limits (unlimited exercises and goals, full history, email reminders) for $9/month, or $72/year — about the price of one lesson a year.
