About

QuickNome Pocket

Read full description

QuickNome Pocket is built for music-learners and musicians alike, but is not a generic tap‑tempo toy. Dial in tempos instantly, build smart setlists, and keep your band locked together on stage with a metronome that actually feels good to play with. Whether you’re practicing alone, running rehearsals, or performing live with in‑ear monitors, QuickNome Pocket keeps time out of your way so you can focus on the music. Key Features Playable metronome engine Ultra‑snappy start/stop and rock‑solid timing that stays tight at any tempo. Big, clear beat display you can read across the room. Accent patterns that make odd meters (5/4, 7/8, 9/8, 12/8 and more) feel natural instead of mathy. Curated sound packs ranging from clean studio clicks to vintage drum‑machine vibes, so the click matches your style instead of sounding like a toy. Smart setlists for real shows Create setlists with per‑song tempos and time signatures. Rearrange songs on the fly with drag and drop during rehearsal. Save different versions of a show (short set, full night, festival slot) and swap between them in seconds. Plays great with your Mac Connect to QuickNome on your Mac to keep tempos, meters, and songs in sync between devices. Change songs on your phone and see your Mac follow, so everyone hears the same click and starts together. Pair Pocket with the Stage View on Mac for a huge, easy‑to‑read beat display the whole band can see. Modern rig ready Join tempo sessions with other music apps and laptops so your click, backing tracks, and synths share the same pulse. Perfect for hybrid sets where live players and tracks all need to agree on one master tempo. Designed for the stage High‑contrast UI that stays readable under dark club lights and bright outdoor stages. Optional vibration cues so you can feel “1” even when you can’t stare at the screen. Big transport controls that are easy to hit between songs. Get your band tighter, clean up train‑wreck transitions, and step on stage knowing every tempo, every song, and every screen are under control.
