Efficiency Benchmark
Technical White Paper: Benchmarking Music Tools’ Access Efficiency Against Comparable iOS Musician Utility Applications
| Metric | Time per Task | Modeled TLM Time | User Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Other apps | 4.61 s | 5.31 s | 3.9 actions |
| Music Tools | 2.33 s | 2.51 s | 2.5 actions |
| Relative reduction | 49% | 53% | 35% |
| Improvement factor | 1.98× | 2.12× | 1.54× |
Music Tools is designed around the interaction idea that tasks that musicians need to accomplish frequently and repeatedly should require as little friction as possible. To that end, Music Tools defines a design paradigm by which the necessary tools are reachable from the surfaces where the user's attention already is, including the Lock Screen, Home Screen, Control Center, and Dynamic Island. This benchmark tests the efficacy of this design paradigm by comparing Music Tools with other established iOS musician utility apps on routine tasks.
