First up - routine quick tweaks - when you click on a routine on the routines page, you're taken to a preview of what you're about to practice. From here, you can quickly re-order or adjust timing on your routine without having to go into the full routine designer.

Next up - the theory map! Quickly reference theory concepts on a guitar fretboard, bass fretboard, or piano keyboard. You can even add 'boxes' to fretboards to focus in on certain areas. I've found this immensely helpful to remember where I am with musical context as I practice.
