## What is BeBeat. Metronome & Rhythm?

BeBeat. – The shortest path to your practice.

BeBeat. is an ad-free, practice-only rhythm engine that launches in under 1 second. Free to download, it uses a drum-machine-style step grid with native audio thread scheduling for sample-accurate timing, and provides an 8-track × 16-step sequencer for instant practice beat creation.

Launch it. It plays instantly.
Build a beat with the 8-track rhythm grid.
Your practice time is quietly recorded.

Not a beat maker. Not a DAW.
A lightweight rhythm engine built for practice.

■ Perfect for
- Piano practice with a steady click
- Guitar rhythm training
- Vocal warmups with tempo
- Anyone tired of ads in metronome apps

■ Key Features
- 8-track × 16-step sequencer
- 8 sounds (Click H/L, Cymbal, HH Open/Close, Snare, Clap, Kick)
- BPM 20–240 (buttons, slider, tap tempo)
- 4 time signatures (4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 12/8)
- Auto practice time logging (daily total, streak, daily chart, BPM trend)
- Background playback (works alongside other music apps)
- No ads

■ Precision Audio Engine
Timing is driven by a dedicated native audio thread.
Delivers rock-solid rhythm unaffected by UI workload.

■ Privacy
All practice history data is stored on your device only and is never sent to external servers.
Analytics is opt-in: nothing is sent by default. Only if you consent, anonymous usage stats (app open, practice time, BPM, time signature) are sent. You can change your choice anytime.
Uninstalling the app completely removes your data.

■ Sound Philosophy
Inspired by classic drum machine aesthetics but designed to stay out of your way.
Won't clash with piano or guitar frequencies.
Comfortable for hours of practice.
