Captrice is a "passion project".
While there are plans to offer premium features at a price,
the "no-signup, local-only" version of this app is free and I intend to keep it that way.
If you'd like to support, buy me a coffee or help spread the word.
It means a lot to me! 🙂
If you have 30 minutes of free time, would you pick up your guitar or phone? The path of least resistence always wins!
Even if you picked the guitar, you'd probably noodle away instead of practicing something that advances your skills.
The challenge isn't finding what to practice—today, exercises are everywhere—it's choosing practice over the endless distractions we have at our fingertips.
I built this app to solve my own struggle - curated exercises eliminate indecision about what to pratice, the metronome keeps me focused, and data visualizations helps with motivation.
It works for me and it might work for you too.
Do you think this app could benefit your students, specially if their practice data is made available to you in the form of intuitive and insightful visualizations?

I am Vineet Naik, a software engineer and hobbyist guitar player from Bangalore, India.
I picked up the guitar in 2001 and somehow the hobby has stuck. I played in a few amateur bands during college. Since then, I have pretty much been a bedroom musician.
Nevertheless, I am always on the lookout for new ways to practice and level up, which is what this project was born out of.
Thanks for stopping by!
