Kungchi bundles a drummer's entire practice routine into one app. Metronome — 30–300 BPM, time signatures, background playback. Catch a song's tempo with tap tempo, and push your limits with the tempo trainer that speeds up every N bars. Record & BPM detection — Record your playing and see your tempo in real time, with section-by-section analysis. Loop tricky parts with A/B repeat and slow-down playback. Rhythm scoring — The core feature. Play along with the metronome and Kungchi measures how many milliseconds each hit lands ahead of or behind the beat, with grades and histograms that reveal your timing habits. Sheet music & setlists — Import scores from photos or PDF and annotate with a pen. Performance setlists retune the metronome as you swipe between songs. Practice log — Metronome, recording and scoring sessions are logged automatically into daily stats and streaks. Everything stays on your device. No ads, ever.
