Lazy Lopez Music is a family of four calm, local-first practice apps — for guitar, ukulele, bass and drums. No streaks, no accounts, every feature free.
Lazy Lopez Music is a family of four practice companions — Guitar, Ukulele, Bass and Drums — for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Songs with the chords ready, a backing band in any key, and tuners and metronomes built for each instrument rather than borrowed. Everything stays on your device. No streaks, no accounts, every feature free.
Lazy Lopez Music is a family of four practice companions for musicians — Lazy Lopez: Guitar, Lazy Lopez: Ukulele, Lazy Lopez: Bass and Lazy Lopez: Drums — built by one person for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch. Each one is a quiet room rather than a course. There is a library of songs or grooves with the chords and notation already in place, a backing band that plays in your key at your tempo, a tuner and a metronome built for that particular instrument rather than borrowed from another, and somewhere to catch an idea before it fades. The four apps share a codebase and a design language, so what one of them learns, the others inherit.
The promises are the point. Everything stays on the device — no account, no cloud sync, no server holding your recordings; analytics are anonymous and off until you turn them on. There are no streaks, no goals, no badges and no scores, on the theory that the moment practice becomes a game you can lose, you stop playing. And every feature in every app is free, forever: there is a tip jar, but nothing is behind it and nothing ever will be. Lazy Lopez Music is made by Gabe Lopez, a musician working alone, and supervised by a black lab named Kylo who has never once asked about anyone's streak.
Version numbers and release dates are read from the App Store, not from memory. If something here has drifted, tell us and we'll fix it.

Each app is built for its instrument, not adapted from a sibling — the bass tuner resolves a low B, the ukulele knows low-G, and the drum app has no chords in it at all.
The original. Songs with the chords ready to go — transpose, capo, auto-scroll, simplify — plus a backing band in your key, a tuner with twenty tunings from standard to DADGAD, the CAGED system laid out on the neck, and somewhere to hum a riff and have the chords caught for you.
The sunny one. Tell it the three chords you already know and it shows you what's playable tonight. gCEA, low-G and baritone tunings, strumming and fingerpicking patterns that count you in, an island band on tap, and melodies caught before they float off.
The low one. A tuner built for the bottom rather than borrowed from a guitar — it resolves a low B at 31 Hz and calibrates from 432 to 444 Hz — with seven tunings, groove patterns from down beats to ghost funk, a fretboard trainer, and a woodshed that slows any song down.
The loud one, kept quiet. Original grooves in real drum notation you can mute, solo and slow down; the 40 rudiments with sticking and playback; a shelf of fills and coordination drills; and Pulse — a metronome with odd meters, gap click, tempo ramp and a silent visual mode for late-night pad work.
1024 × 1024 PNG — ivory instrument artwork on its own colour, the same icons the apps use. They are square and full-bleed; round the corners only where the platform does. Click to download.
Every shot comes two ways. Framed is the marketing image exactly as uploaded to App Store Connect — device body, brand canvas, caption — and it's what the thumbnail shows. Plain is the raw device capture behind it: no frame, no caption, the interface filling the whole file. Reach for plain when the screenshot is going inside an article, framed when it needs to stand on its own.
All full-resolution PNG. If a screen you want isn't here, ask — there are more, on every device size.

The family mark and the four instrument icons, square PNG at 1024 × 1024, drawn once and never stretched. Please don't recolour them, add effects, or set them on a background that fights the artwork — otherwise, use them freely.
Warm ivory instrument artwork on a distinct colour for each instrument, with broad silhouettes and one small curved accent shared by all four icons. Paper and ink carry the sites. Instrument colours identify an app; check contrast before setting text on them.
If you're looking for the angle, it's this: four apps in a category built on subscriptions, streaks and lock-in that refuse all three.
Everything lives on your device. No server, no account, no cloud. Analytics stay off unless you opt in — and even then they're anonymous. We can't see your songs, your takes, or what you're working on.
No streaks, no goals, no badges, no guilt. The moment practice becomes a game you can lose, you stop. Each app quietly remembers what you've sat with — that's all the tracking you need.
Every feature, in every app, forever. There's a tip jar if you'd like to say thanks — but nothing is locked behind it, and nothing ever will be.
Gabe Lopez is a musician and solo developer who builds the Lazy Lopez Music apps under the name Lazy Lopez Productions. Every screen in all four apps is designed, written and shipped by one person — which is also why they behave like something made for a player rather than assembled for a market.
He is supervised by Kylo, a black lab who has never once asked about anyone's streak.
Interviews, written Q&As, and the kind of long conversation about why practice apps keep turning into games that doesn't fit in a press release. Also happy to talk about building four apps out of one codebase, shipping SwiftUI on four Apple platforms alone, or what a local-first app actually costs you.

Promo codes for review, unframed device captures, a screen you can't find here, other device sizes, higher-resolution marks, or a specific feature demonstrated — all available, usually the same day.
