Reed Diary
Performances start
with reeds.
Every reed behaves differently, and the difference is worth writing down. Log how each one played today alongside the practice it went through — for oboe, English horn, oboe d'amore, and bassoon players.
iOS 18.0 or later / iPhone
Four app screens. 1. The reed list — “Today's reed. Ready at a glance. Color and badges make its condition instantly clear.” 2. Compare reeds — “Two reeds. One clear answer. Overlay their radar charts and see what sets them apart.” 3. A single reed — “Every reed has a story worth keeping. Photos, ratings, and notes—kept in one place.” 4. The condition trend — “Find the signal. Follow the trend. Four ratings reveal when a reed is coming into form.”
Six tools for reading your reeds
-
Log each reed's day
Give the reed you played a status colour, a star rating, and a line of notes. Open it tomorrow and you can see which reeds are coming up and which are on their way out.
-
Clock your playing time
Record how many minutes each reed spent in play during a single session. Even when you switch instruments partway through, the time lands in the right diary.
-
A folder per instrument
Keep reeds separated by oboe, English horn, oboe d'amore, and bassoon. The colour-coded status makes the one to play today easy to spot.
-
What you played on the day
Add a concert to the calendar and record which reed you chose for it. Next time you're picking one for a performance, you'll have something to go on.
-
Look back by month
Days with entries are marked on the month grid. Tap a date to see every reed you played that day and how each one felt.
-
See the pattern in numbers
Status distribution and average ratings per reed, how long each type lasts and how many days it takes to peak, plus reeds side by side. Useful when you decide what to make or buy next.
Free covers 5 reeds in rotation. Pro removes every limit — reeds, statuses, types, cases, criteria, and tags — and adds the full analysis reports, appearance switching, and JSON backup.
Your diary stays on your iPhone
Reed records, photos, and practice logs are stored only on your device and are never synced to another one. No account is required. We measure anonymous usage to help improve the app, but never your notes or the photos themselves. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Never wonder which reed to play today.
