Disclaimer
1. Not a teacher
Chopinly records and organizes your practice. It does not evaluate your playing, prescribe what to practice, or replace a teacher, a coach or your own judgment. Suggestions in the app (such as which goal you practiced last) are conveniences, not instruction.
2. Not medical advice
The History calendar colors each day by how long you practiced, and the app describes some amounts as a "sweet spot", "diminishing" or "too much". Those bands are general guidance drawn from published research on deliberate practice and on playing-related injury in musicians. They are not medical advice, they are not tailored to you, and they do not account for your age, health, instrument, technique or history. Discomfort, pain, numbness or tingling while playing are reasons to stop and consult a qualified professional regardless of what any chart shows. Nothing in Chopinly diagnoses, treats or prevents any condition.
3. The numbers are your entries
Every figure — minutes, streaks, shares by composer, session lengths, analytics — is calculated from the segments you started, stopped, added or edited, and from what other tools in the app logged with your knowledge. The app cannot know whether you were at the instrument, whether the time was well spent, or whether you forgot to press stop. Treat the numbers as a record of what you logged, not as a measure of ability or a promise of progress.
4. The tools have limits
The metronome keeps time on your browser's audio clock; the tuner and pitch pipe depend on your device's microphone and speakers and on the room; the sight-singing judge, and the ear trainer when you choose to answer on your own instrument, estimate pitch (and rhythm) from a microphone signal. They are practical aids of good but ordinary accuracy, not calibrated instruments, and their results can be affected by hardware, noise and browser behavior.
5. Your data lives on your device unless you back it up
Chopinly is local-first: without an account, the only copy of your practice history is in your browser on your device. Clearing browser data, losing or replacing the device, or a browser deciding to evict site storage will delete it, and we cannot recover it. Use download my data for a file copy, or sign in so it is backed up. Even with an account, keep your own export if the history matters to you.
6. Availability
We aim to keep the Service running smoothly, but it is a free service provided as-is and may be interrupted, changed or discontinued as described in the Terms of Service. The app is designed to keep working offline with what is on your device.
7. No professional advice of any kind
Nothing on chopinly.com or in the app is legal, medical, financial or other professional advice. Content is provided for general information and for your own use in organizing practice.
