## What is Very Good Metronome?

A minimal but powerful metronome that gets out of your way to help you get better.

Most metronome apps either nag you with ads when you're trying to practice, lock basic features behind subscriptions, or overwhelm you with complexity. This one just works.

Two taps to start practicing: Open app → Set tempo (Hint: Drag anywhere on the screen) → Play. That's it.


Free Version includes:

- Rock-solid timing you can trust
- Practice Mode: increase tempo every X bars or minutes
- Dark and Light themes
- 8 metronome sounds
- Optional display-flash on beats
- Works great while holding instruments, on stage, in any lighting
- No ads, popups, or nags
- Stays free forever

Available as a one-time purchase:
- Custom time signatures. Only if you need it.

I'm a musician who built this app and uses it daily. 
Your support keeps the core features free for everyone and helps me make it even better.

The Very Good Promise:
Free core features forever.
No subscriptions, no feature lockouts, no interruptions during practice.


Very good metronome. Very good price. Very good for getting better.
