The loop
Your ears lie while you play. The recording doesn't.
Every session is one tight loop. Recording is on by default, because the honest mirror is the point — not another log you write about yourself.
Record
The take stays on your phone. Mic denied or storage full? The loop degrades to felt-only and keeps going.
recording
Listen
The take is one tap away the second you stop. Skipped it tonight? It waits calmly in the Queue — no badge, no red count.
Rate — twice
A felt rating from inside the performance, a verified rating after listening back. The verified one counts double.

One honest number per song
The Weighted Score is the last session's verdict — never blended across sessions, never a black box. You played it, you heard it, you know exactly where the number comes from.

The dashboard
Open, glance, play.
Every day Edgars offers exactly five songs, ranked by a rule it will happily read out loud. No hidden algorithm, no engagement loop — the scoreboard, not a brain.
- 01
Gig urgency first. Songs on an upcoming setlist surface ahead of everything, ordered by the nearest gig date.
- 02
Then the weakest scores. Lowest Weighted Score first — the honest trouble spots.
- 03
Ties break by age. Longest unplayed wins. A never-played song counts as oldest.

Gigs & setlists
Practice has a deadline
Book the gig, build the setlist, and the machine knows what matters this week. The three new songs for the wedding set already sit in tomorrow's five — while the rest of your repertoire keeps its honest rotation. Cancel the gig and everything settles back, history intact.
A song can serve several gigs at once — urgency comes from the nearest date.
The gig card reads at a glance: countdown, readiness strip, and the exact weak spots to raise at rehearsal.
Quiet sessions
Practice continues when playing can't.
Kids asleep, guitar out of reach, an hour before band practice. The Queue collects the takes you didn't verify yet — calmly, optionally. Put in earbuds, listen back, and tomorrow's five reshuffles on what you actually heard.
No streaks, no badges, no red counts. The queue is a plain list; nothing nags.
Recordings expire quietly after a week, verified or not. Their ratings stay — the journal keeps the lesson, not the clutter.
The weekly review shows the trend before rehearsal: which song is stuck, what’s improving, what stayed unplayed.
The butler's rules
It serves, it remembers, it tells the truth — it never nags.
The boundaries are the product. Edgars is built by one gigging guitarist for his own repertoire, and these rules are not marketing — they are design constraints.
No nagging, ever
No streaks to break, no flames, no guilt copy. An empty week renders empty. The app tells the truth; it never scolds.
never: "don't break your streak!"No server, no account
Everything lives on your phone. Open the app and you're in — no login, no sync, no subscription in v1. Offline-complete, always.
never: an email to practiceNothing leaves the device
Recordings are intimate — your unpolished playing. In v1 there is no network path for them at all, so there is nothing to leak.
never: upload-first anythingA transparent rule
If Edgars can't explain why a song is offered, the feature is wrong. The daily five is a published rule, readable in the app.
never: "the algorithm picked this"Your repertoire is yours
Songs are never deleted — only archived, history intact, always resurfaceable. Gigs are deletable; your journal is not.
never: data loss as a featurePractice never blocks on tech
Mic denied, storage full, recording lost — the loop degrades gracefully and keeps the rating. A lost take is fine; a lost practice event is a bug.
never: a permission dialog mid-flowWaitlist
One email when Edgars ships.
The first release lands free on Google Play — Android first, iOS later through the same codebase. Leave your email and you'll get exactly one message at launch. Nothing else, ever.
