Spaced repetition schedules reviews at increasing intervals, timed to just before you'd forget. It's the science behind tools like Anki, and the same memory research applies to musical material like scales, patterns and licks. Pocetude adapts it to motor skills, where speed and accuracy decay differently than facts do.

Scales, patterns and rhythms are the raw material of real music. Practicing them on a schedule builds muscle memory in every key, which makes sight reading faster and gives you vocabulary to improvise with. The runs and figures in your ensemble pieces stop being obstacles, because your fingers already know them.

Anki schedules facts. Pocetude schedules playing: it renders real notation with playback, tracks your tempo per exercise, and its scheduler accounts for the way motor skills, not flashcards, are learned and forgotten.

Pocetude is currently optimized for single-note instruments: saxophone, trumpet, clarinet, trombone, flute and the like. Exercises are shown as standard notation with audio playback, at whatever tempo you set. It can work for piano or guitar too, but there is no chord support yet; that is planned for the future.

Basic reading helps, but every exercise comes with audio playback, so you can learn by ear alongside the notation.

Yes. Pocetude is a website: it runs in the browser on phones, tablets and desktops, with nothing to install and no app store. It's designed to sit on a music stand next to your instrument.

The practice tools are free, like an open demo: generate scale, pattern and rhythm exercises by hand and play along. A free account adds settings sync across your devices. The full spaced-repetition scheduler costs 3 € per month or 33 € per year (pay for 11 months, get 1 free). That is an early-bird price: it will go up later, but subscribers keep their rate for as long as they stay subscribed. Subscriptions will be available soon.
