## What is Super Time?

A metronome that plays real drum grooves as well as a click. Set a tempo, tap Play and start practicing. Speed Trainer can raise the tempo a few BPM at a time while you keep playing.

Super Time is for guitarists, bassists, drummers, pianists and singers. You don't need an account, and there are no ads.

DRUM GROOVES
- 140+ grooves built from recorded drums: rock, funk, soul, hip-hop, jazz, Latin, reggae, blues, country, metal, gospel and odd meters
- Dozens are free, including Basic Rock
- Humanize adds the small timing and volume changes a live drummer makes
- Variation moves ghost notes and hi-hat accents from bar to bar
- Fills every 4, 8 or 16 bars

THE CLICK
- Timed on the audio clock, so the beat doesn't drift
- Tap tempo, and tempo to a tenth of a BPM (93.4)
- Nine click sounds, including woodblock, clave, ride, 808 and snare
- Tap a beat to accent it. The beat flash and haptics land with the sound

SPEED AND TIMING
- Speed Trainer raises the tempo by your chosen step every few bars
- Gap Practice mutes bars so you can hear whether you held the time
- One- or two-bar count-in
- Practice Plan sets a daily goal in minutes, with an optional reminder

RHYTHM
- Odd meters like 7/8, 5/4 and 12/8
- Subdivisions from quarters to 32nds, including triplets and sextuplets
- Swing from straight to shuffle
- Polyrhythm: 3:2, 4:3, 5:4 and more. Hear each side alone or both together
- Chain polyrhythms into a looping sequence, for example 3:2, then 4:3, then 5:4

DRONE
- Hold a drone on any root note, chord and octave for scales, intonation and long tones

PLAYING WITH OTHERS
- Play together: phones on the same Wi-Fi share tempo, meter and start/stop once you tap Join on one and Accept on the other
- Practice Circle shares one tempo, meter and count-in with other phones over the internet, using an invite code
- Ableton Link keeps tempo and start/stop in sync with Live, Note and other Link apps
- Home Screen widget, Lock Screen and Dynamic Island controls, Siri and Shortcuts

Optional Pro adds the full groove library, long-term history, unlimited saved setups, bigger custom kits and more groove and sound controls. The core metronome and daily practice loop stay free, with practice history for your recent sessions. Pro is a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

Your practice settings and history stay on your phone. Practice Circle stores your display name and a participant ID on your phone. The Circle service handles timing, presence and chat only while a live session is running.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.18 — 2026-10-07

• New Apple Watch app: each beat is a tap on your wrist. Change the tempo and start or stop from the watch. It follows your iPhone, and keeps tapping on its own when the iPhone isn't with you.
• Linked phones share the whole setup: drone, gap click, speed trainer, drum kit and sound, effects, Euclidean pulses and polyrhythm sequences. Each phone keeps its own volume. Both phones need this update to play together.
• Practice shows which phone you're linked with. Tap Unlink to play on your own again.
• In Polyrhythm, the beat lights show the base beats of the ratio and light up with the beat you hear.
• Fixed a crash when SuperTime opened with the drone on.
• Open hi-hats use recorded hits and close on the next closed-hat strike. Repeated drum hits use alternate recorded takes.
• Link starts keep the shared bar position, including sessions that begin before beat zero.
• Search grooves by name or feel, filter by time signature, and keep favourites close.
• Drum sound and Custom Kit controls have clearer VoiceOver labels. Tap Stop to end a sample preview.
• SuperTime’s two-beat icon now matches the app and widgets.

### 2.0.17 — 2026-10-06

• A new Practice screen: the tempo sits in a dial with its marking (Andante, Allegro), the beats light up as they play, and Drone starts with one tap.
• Drone is redesigned. Pick the note on a keyboard and watch the sound change as you shape it.
• Every settings screen is rebuilt, from time signatures and subdivisions to Speed Trainer and polyrhythms.
• Chain polyrhythms into a looping sequence, such as 5:8 for 8 bars, then 4:5.
• Gap click takes the click away in six stages, from every beat down to one click every four bars.
• 18 new grooves in the Pro library, from Afrobeats and Amapiano to country shuffles and 12/8 ballads.
• Play together brings nearby phones, Practice Circle and Ableton Link into one place.
• Lock Screen widgets, plus tempo −5 / +5 and play/stop on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island.
• Quicker setup: four questions, then you're playing.
• We removed the sampler and Time Check.

### 2.0.16 — 2026-09-29

• Pro now includes the full groove library: 128 more grooves in five packs, each with a one-bar preview.
• Click loudness and swing are free for everyone, and the Pro offer only opens when you tap something Pro.
• The Lock Screen play button starts the click even when Super Time is in the background.
• Sync joins only the phone you tap and marks it Connected, and tap tempo inside the tempo editor now sticks when you press Set Tempo.
• Grooves play like a drummer: Humanize, bar-to-bar Variation and optional Fills every 4, 8 or 16 bars.
• Nine click voices: Click, Woodblock, Clave, Cowbell, Rim, Hi-hat, Ride, 808 and Snare, each with a real accent.
• Set the tempo to a tenth of a BPM (93.4) from the tempo editor, with fine −0.1/+0.1 buttons.
• Play, stop and change the tempo from the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island, or say "Set the tempo in Super Time".
• The beat flash and beat haptics now land exactly with the sound in every mode, including Drums and count-in.
• Tap tempo reacts the moment your finger lands.
• A cleaner, rounder accent click, most noticeable on in-ear monitors.
• After a call or Bluetooth hiccup restarts iOS audio, just press Play again — no relaunch needed.
• Corrected swing, shuffle, 6/8, 12/8, clave and Latin drum patterns.

### 2.0.14 — 2026-09-26

The Polyrhythm Lab has new voices and a live stage. Pitched Digital, Woodblock, Clave, Cowbell, Rim and 808 sounds keep the beat and the cross-rhythm distinct, and the rings light each pulse as it plays. Gap Practice now shows its audible and silent bars clearly, while Learning Path guides you through the base, counter and combined pulse.

### 2.0.13 — 2026-09-25

Natural sampled drum grooves are back in Practice, with Basic Rock available free. The refreshed Practice screen keeps tempo, playback, grooves and training within easy reach. Drone controls and the Pro offer are clearer to use. The optional Quick Guide announces your progress and explains Ableton Link more clearly.

This update also improves playback startup and recovery when you start and stop quickly.
