## What is BeatClikr?

Stay in the pocket. Lead with confidence. Never pay a subscription fee.

BeatClikr is a live metronome, song tempo library, setlist tool, and practice tracker built for real musicians in real live settings — worship leaders, bandleaders, drummers, and anyone who needs the right tempo ready at the right time.

BUILT FOR LIVE SETS

Save every song your band plays with its title, artist, tempo, feel, and groove. Build playlists for worship services, rehearsals, gigs, or practice sessions, then move through the set with large Previous, Play/Pause, and Next controls.

When you need fewer distractions, Focus Mode gives you a full-screen, always-dark view with the current song, large transport controls, and a pulsing visual beat.

MORE THAN A BASIC METRONOME

BeatClikr gives you practical tools for daily practice and serious rhythm work:

• Tap tempo
• Tempo ramp for gradually increasing BPM
• Multiple groove options
• Odd meter grooves from 5/8 through 15/8
• Polyrhythm mode for layered rhythm practice
• Separate beat and rhythm sounds

TRACK YOUR PRACTICE

Practice History records the songs you play each day, shows your practice calendar, and tracks your current and longest streaks. You can even share a streak card when you want to celebrate consistency.

SYNCED ACROSS YOUR APPLE DEVICES

BeatClikr syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac through your private iCloud database. Your songs, playlists, practice history, and reminder settings stay with you.

Your data stays yours. It never touches our servers, and we never see it.

COMPLETELY FREE

No subscriptions. No accounts. No in-app purchases.

BeatClikr was built by a worship leader who refused to ask his church to pay another monthly fee. So he built the tool himself and made it free for everyone.

Whether you’re leading Sunday morning worship, playing a weekend gig, working through polyrhythms, or practicing at home, BeatClikr helps you stay locked in.

### 5/5 — Great Metronome

*2026-05-30*

Just got it and have only scratched the surface of what it can do. One of the most amazing options is to create a Setlist! So many things it can do. No other free metronome out there holds a candle to this one!

Easy to use metronome. In addition to sound, vibration & flashlight may also be used. Love the cowbell setting.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.2.1 — 2026-08-09

Fixes a playback issue that could result in incorrect tempos on certain devices / certain device playback configs

### 4.2.0 — 2026-07-30

This release rebuilds BeatClikr’s foundations around one goal: timing you can trust.
- Rock-solid click timing—even through odd meters and complex polyrhythms
- Visuals synchronized directly to the audio timeline, with no accumulating drift
- Keep playing with the screen locked or the app in the background
- Practice alongside Apple Music, YouTube, and backing tracks
- Stop playback from the Lock Screen or Control Center
- Practice History now measures actual playing time—not quick taps
- More reliable streaks, reminders, playlists, and iCloud synchronization
- Improved VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and Spanish support
- Safer handling of headphones, Bluetooth devices, interruptions, and audio-route changes
This is BeatClikr at its most precise, resilient, and practice-ready yet.

### 4.1.0 — 2026-05-18

New feature: Synth sound bank
- New Synth sound bank is based on the waveforms of the original Acoustic tones. Each one is intentionally short, making each one useful for any kind of beat. 
- Synth sound bank one is completely free. In the future, additional sounds and color themes may be added to support the development of BeatClikr.

Bug fix: 
- Polyrhythm metronome has been refined so that it doesn't drift over a long period of time.

### 4.0.0 — 2026-05-11

BeatClikr 4 is a major update with new practice tools, better live playlist playback, and more rhythm options. New in this version:

• Tempo Ramp: Automatically increase the BPM over time while practicing, then return to your starting tempo when playback stops.
• Polyrhythm Mode: Practice layered rhythms like 5 against 4 with visual timeline rows that show how the patterns align.
• Odd Meter Grooves: New Odd Quarter and Odd Eighth grooves support asymmetric meters from 5/8 through 15/8.
• Practice History: Track songs played each day, view a monthly practice calendar, and monitor your current and longest streaks.
• Streak Sharing: Share a practice streak card with a built-in image and message.
• Playlist Focus Mode: Use a full-screen, always-dark view with a pulsing beat circle and large Previous / Play-Pause / Next controls.
• Always Use Dark Theme Setting: Even if you enjoy the light theme on your device, you can force BeatClikr to have a subtle stage presence in dark mode.
• Cross-device Practice Reminders: Reminder settings now sync across your signed-in Apple devices with smarter permission handling.

Bugfixes:
• Playlist Renaming: Rename playlists directly from the playlist list.
• Playlist De-duplication: Migrating playlists from multiple devices no longer generates duplicate playlists.

### 3.3.0 — 2026-05-05

What's New in BeatClikr

Multiple Playlists
Your setlist game just leveled up. Create and manage as many playlists as you need — one for rehearsal, one for the gig, one for that jazz brunch that got out of hand. Each playlist keeps its own song order, and you can reorder or delete tracks without losing your place in the one that's playing.

Transport Controls Everywhere
The play/pause, previous, and next controls you loved in Playlist mode are now in your Song Library too. Browse your whole catalog and navigate songs without ever leaving the list.

A More Reliable Now Playing Indicator
We fixed a bug where deleting a song from a playlist could cause the wrong song to appear highlighted — the transport bar showed one title while the metronome was playing another. The now-playing indicator now tracks by song identity, so it stays accurate no matter how you rearrange or edit your list.

Redesigned Song Details
The BPM input, beats-per-bar stepper, and groove selector in Song Details have been redesigned to be consistent with the Instant Metronome. Switching back and forth is a more consistent experience. 

Smoother Editing
• The BPM slider now animates in sync as you drag it
• Text fields in Song Details auto-capitalize correctly
• The edit and delete controls in song lists are cleaner and easier to tap

Bug Fixes
• Fixed a crash on Mac when switching from a playlist detail view to the Library
• Fixed rhythm selector showing the wrong list of options
• Fixed playlist sort order not saving after reordering songs
• Cleaned up orphaned playlist data left over from older app versions
