Praxis: Practice, Reimagined

A focused practice player that keeps your library, queue, lyrics, and MIDI control in one place.

What it does

Praxis is a desktop music practice player built around a simple, predictable workflow: import songs, organize them into playlists/folders, and use whatever you’re viewing in the Library as your active playback queue. The queue-based player makes it easy to step through a set while keeping your library tidy and searchable.

It combines playback controls, waveform scrubbing, and per-song metadata (including BPM) with multi-tab lyrics/notes. Lyrics can auto-scroll with timestamps or percentage-based behavior, and tabs let you keep separate views for full lyrics, chord charts, or notes.

Praxis also supports MIDI hardware control and timed cues, plus import/export for sharing libraries via .prax packages and migrating from Anytune or Stage Traxx. The app is designed to stay out of the way once you start playing.
