Rimclick

Rimclick is a metronome and drum machine in one, made for practicing drums. Instead of playing against a bare click, you program a groove on a step grid and practice along with it or switch the drums off and use it as a precise, no-nonsense metronome. METRONOME • 30–240 BPM, set by slider, +/– buttons or tap tempo • Time signatures 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/4 and 8/8 • Accent on beat 1, on or off • Subdivision clicks: 8ths, triplets or 16ths • A beat strip and pulse ring you can read from the drum stool • Screen flash: the whole screen pulses on every beat, for when the kit drowns out the click DRUM SEQUENCER • A step grid one bar long in every time signature — 12 steps in 3/4, 16 in 4/4, 24 in 6/4 — with eight synthesized drums: kick, snare, closed and open hi-hat, crash, ride, high and low tom • Draw by tapping or dragging; a crosshair shows which cell is under your finger • A full-screen editor with big cells, for drawing comfortably on a phone • Four pattern slots (A–D) — chain them into a longer phrase and set how many times each one repeats; while the chain plays, the grid follows the pattern you hear • Swing from straight to a full triplet feel • Count-in of one or two bars before the drums start • Separate click and drum volume, and mute any track with a tap on its name TRAINERS • Tempo trainer: add N BPM every M bars until you reach your target tempo • Gap trainer: the click plays for a few bars, then drops out — keep time on your own until it comes back PRESETS • Save your grooves with their tempo and time signature and load them again in one tap • Your preset library syncs across your iPhone and iPad through iCloud BUILT FOR PRACTICE • Timing is sample-accurate: the whole clock runs inside the audio engine, not on a timer • Keeps playing in the background and with the screen locked; start and stop from the lock screen or your headphones • Designed for iPhone (landscape and portrait) and iPad, with a large layout for iPad on a music stand • Low latency on wired headphones and the built-in speaker; Bluetooth is supported PRIVATE AND FREE No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. The app collects no data at all. It is free and stays free — if it helps your practice, there is an optional tip jar inside.
