## What is Clave?

Clave is a metronome and tuner for practice and performance. It starts with the two things that matter most: a steady beat and accurate tuning.

METRONOME: THE BEAT DOESN'T DRIFT
Every beat is scheduled on the audio hardware clock, sample by sample, not by a software timer. Change the tempo and the new speed takes effect on the next beat: the pulse never stumbles mid-bar.
· Tempo dial, 1–8 beats per bar, six rhythm patterns and tap tempo
· Four volume layers: quarter, eighth, sixteenth and triplet, mixed like a mixer
· Accents, swing, presets, and a staff view that highlights the note you're on
· A rhythm editor for figures of your own, down to thirty-second notes

TUNER: MADE FOR EACH INSTRUMENT
Pitch is measured with a high-resolution detector, not a zero-crossing guess, and then smoothed, so the needle settles on a note instead of jittering on a number.
· Over 30 instruments, grouped by family: guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin and banjo; violin, viola, cello and double bass; flute, oboe, English horn, bassoon, clarinet and saxophone; trumpet, cornet, horn, trombone, euphonium and tuba — each with its own detection range
· 30 preset tunings, plus custom string sets you can add, name and keep
· Seven temperaments: equal, just intonation, Pythagorean, quarter-comma meantone, Werckmeister III, Vallotti, and one of your own
· Transposition for transposing instruments, a capo offset, and per-string cent offsets for sweetened tunings
· String-by-string guidance: the target string is lit, the next one is picked for you, and TONE sounds the reference pitch

PRACTICE AND PERFORMANCE
· Practice log: time, streaks and levels
· Home and lock screen widgets, a Live Activity, and the app for Apple Watch
· Optional iCloud sync: practice, presets, custom tunings and temperaments stay in step across your devices; off until you turn it on
· Strobe tuner gauge, flashlight beat lamp, and beat lamps drawn with Metal into the display's extended dynamic range; on an HDR iPhone the downbeat is above SDR white
