## What is Modus?

Never miss a beat with this stylish and amazingly accurate metronome: it balances the functionality you need with the precision you expect, all in an intuitive interface that's designed to get you playing as quickly as possible. Introducing Modus, from the creators of forScore.

Use audible mode for a more traditional experience, use visual mode to see the timing instead, or use both for even more flexibility. Set the tempo by typing it in, using the adjustment dial, or by tapping twice in the center of the screen. Create and switch between as many presets as you like for quick access to your most frequently-used settings.

Beat Keeper lets you work with your other apps, supporting both Split View and Slide Over on the iPad, and it uses multitasking to continue playing even when it's not on screen. It also works when your device is in silent mode so you can avoid interruptions. Plain, simple, and spot on every time.

## Key features

### 1/5 — Broken even basic features

*2026-06-02*

Tap to set speed now fluctuates and is inaccurate

### 4/5 — Solid app but default metronome sound is obnoxious

*2025-10-14*

Simple and intuitive UI, macOS Tahoe ready, ability to create presets.

Dearly misses Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase metronome sounds. The default one is piercing my ears bad.

### 3/5 — Nice, but…

*2024-09-26*

On a 2022 iPhone SE running iOS 18 pressing the presets button freezes the app completely.

### 4/5 — Very nice, with one wish

*2024-01-17*

Pretty nice metronome. Works flawlessly. It among the very few metronome where taping the tempo is precise. Other apps vary way to much on that respect.

One wish: I would love to be able to rename presets.

Good job,

### 4/5 — It is simple and easy to use, but there is one problem.

*2023-11-22*

It seems that the beats are not restored correctly to the preset.
For example, I saved it in 4/3, but when I play it back, it is in 4/4.
This is true for both 2 and 5 beats.
It would be great if you could fix this.

### 1/5 — 4.0.1 = Failure to Launch

*2023-10-07*

After years of happily using Beat Keeper a.k.a. Modus on both my Macbook Pro and my iPhone SE, the update to Version 4.0.1 on my Macbook has rendered the app useless with a launch error.

The App Store listing for Modus confirms that it is compatible with my laptop (Big Sur OS, fully updated). I have deleted and reinstalled the app. I've tried following Apple's recommendation to contact the developer for advice but the forScore website provides no search hits in its support database for Modus and no contact form for individual help (unless I subscribe to forScore Pro when I don't even own or use that application).

Modus still runs on my iPhone, at least, but forScore's left me with a less than stellar impression of its self-serve support system.

### 1/5 — Presets don’t work.

*2023-08-05*

In addition, if they did work, it would be great to be able to see all the presets on one screen. I once had an Android app that allowed me to have all the classic metronome marks (40, 42, 44…200, 208) all on one screen and I merely had to touch each one to change the tempo without it going to another screen after that. Super convenient for changing tempo while practicing. This app is not at all ready for sale. I would like my money back or, better yet, have it work properly as advertised. I searched for a metronome app with presets.

### 4/5 — Great but presets don’t work

*2023-03-27*

I like everything about this app except that the presets I save don’t load so I still have to manually change the tempo. Hoping an update will resolve this.

### 5/5 — Gespeicherte Tempi können nicht mehr aufgerufen werden

*2023-03-20*

Seit ein paar Tagen können die gespeicherten Voreinstellungen nicht mehr aufgerufen werden. Abspeichern geht nach wie vor, aber wähle ich eine gespeicherte Voreinstellung aus, wird diese nicht übernommen. Bitte überprüfen sie die App. Die App ist wirklich sehr gut.

### 4/5 — Needs a Watch app!

*2022-01-25*

Vibrating on your wrist to keep the beat silently would be amazing.
