What's New in BeatMirror

3.0.0

April 15, 2025

We've got a big update for you today. It's been months in the making, and today we are very happy to announce BeatMirror's brand new Range mode! It's the same BeatMirror you know and love, but now you have the option to set a nice big tempo range (instead of a target tempo) and start detecting tempo right away. The new Range mode also has a special triplet option for high accuracy in triplet-time. (You'll get a mini-walkthrough when you update the app.) Finally, we've added the ability to listen to whatever you like in your headphones during tempo detection (music from other apps, metronomes, etc.). I hope you like the new update. And as always, I'd love to hear any feedback you have. Just tap the envelope icon in BeatMirror to get in touch and I'll get back to you ASAP. -Alex

Fantastic drumming tool

This app is a game changer wish I’d had it years ago, I can’t recommend it enough to any drummers, my band mates love it too. Thx for creating it 👍

Accurate for Guitar?

I'm trying to use this to get faster at playing guitar and I'm comparing it to my metronome. The beat detection (for me bpm of picking speed) seems inaccurate. Anyone have success with this or suggestions? I'd love for this to work, would be a great tool.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for reaching out. Once your range (or target tempo) is set OK, you should expect pretty solid performance for guitar. You can catch a demo of the app with guitar at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ploxwvF4f5I, or a deeper dive into the newer version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTaQXTddOp4. You're also welcome to reach out anytime at tenkettles.com/contact, and I'd be happy to help with troubleshooting. -Alex

Hot Phone

Used for about 90 minutes while practicing with my ensemble and my iPhone 15 pro was hot to the touch when we were done. Don’t know how hot but uncomfortably warm. Didn’t check battery drain.

Awesome for guitar rhythm

This is exactly what I was looking for because I’m struggling using a metronome on strum patterns. I can set the target to a songs BPM and practice going through the chord progression over and over and over until my ears and muscle memory kicks in.

New version makes this superior

Gigging musician here. Just started using it, but I’d say this version makes the Beat Mirror app superior to other tempo detectors that I and bandmates have previously bought and used. Seems to be very accurate. Displays tempo and draws a line in real time. Two different zoom settings. Does fine with 3/4 time also when some others do not. Target tempo is a standout feature, with an illuminated strip showing when you’re staying close. Haven’t used the range option, because for our use it’s way too broad, even though you can slide the range up and down. Wish one could further customize the range to better zoom in on the tempo graph. But overall, really like it so far.
