## What is Pocket Tempo?

Tap it in. Trust every number.

Most tempo calculators make you already know the BPM. Pocket Tempo doesn't — tap in time with the real performance (kick, snare, whatever sound is steady) and it locks onto the actual spacing between your taps, telling you if they were steady enough to trust. Reads it as the wrong note value? One tap fixes it — no re-tapping.

Already know the tempo? Type it in instead.

One anchor gets you every tempo-synced time value — delay, reverb, LFO, and compressor times, all derived from one honest anchor. Studio or stage.

Built-in Tips — plain-language help for anyone newer to the terms (free on Delay & Compressor, included on every tab once unlocked)

FREE, NO CATCH
- Real transient-based tap tempo with a live consistency meter
- Manual BPM entry
- Half-time / double-time correction
- Straight 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 delay times
- Full compressor release calculator — most tempo apps skip this entirely
- Built-in metronome click with three sounds
- Real time signature support: 4/4, 3/4, 2/4, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 — correctly reads a 6/8 ballad as a dotted-quarter beat instead of quietly assuming 4/4
- Built-in Tips — plain-language help for anyone newer to the terms (free on Delay & Compressor, included on every tab once unlocked)

PRO — $3.99 ONE-TIME, NO SUBSCRIPTION
- Dotted & triplet delay subdivisions
- Reverb decay + pre-delay
- LFO / modulation rates

- Delay Tower — a real physics-based distance calculator for live speaker placement, not tempo math
- Setlist — save, reorder, and rename tempos per song, recall them instantly at a gig
- Light and dark themes
- Full Tips coverage on every tab, not just two

Built by a working audio engineer and educator, for anyone who's ever had to guess a delay time mid-soundcheck.
