alpha testers wanted for a music practice app focused on retention, weak spots, and repertoire

built this for myself after getting fed up with the same cycle in guitar practice

learn thing
get okay at thing
move on
forget thing

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on the science of retention and practice, especially spaced repetition / interleaving / memory lapses, and wanted something a bit more advanced than just keeping practice notes or making flat flashcards

the big thing for me was weak parts. not just “do I know this song”, but where exactly does it wobble, what parts do I keep avoiding, can I track that and revisit it properly

so I made Reperta

MVP is live and I’m looking for a small number of alpha users who’ll actually use it and tell me what’s clunky / confusing / useful

best fit is probably guitarists for now, but any serious practiser is welcome

looking for 10 to 20 alpha testers for a music practice app I built because I kept forgetting what I learned

I kept running into the same stupid thing with guitar

I’d learn songs, caged stuff, scales, little ideas, get them to a decent level, then slowly lose them because I was always moving on to the next thing

so I started looking into the science side a bit more. spaced repetition, interleaving, deliberate practice, memory lapses, all that. I liked some of the logic behind Anki but it felt too flat for actual music practice

what I really wanted was something that could help me keep repertoire alive, surface weak bits, and make me actually revisit the parts I tend to avoid

so I built it

it’s called Reperta. still early, definitely rough in places, but the MVP is working and I’ve already started using it for my own practice and it’s been really useful tbh

opening up a tiny alpha, max 20 people. mainly looking for people who actually practise and are up for giving honest feedback. guitarists especially, but it could work for other instruments too

if that sounds useful, comment and I’ll send it over
