## What is RGM?

UPDATE: By popular demand from...well...me, added Clicks and Setlists.

Fancy sophisticated metronome apps are great for practicing. Not so great for actual live performance though. Too many features, too many tiny buttons, cluttered screen.

When you're working with a metronome on stage, often, the less is more.

What do you actually need from a metronome during a real live performance? Steady quarter notes, a giant Start-Stop button, a tempo wheel, and that's it! Maybe occasional subdivisions. And Setlists.

This metronome app does exactly that, and just that. But it does beautifully!

Looking for a complex automated click pattern with a timer, gap click, and auto tempo change? Save it for the practice! This app is for gigging!

Enjoy.
