Better rhythm starts with a tap. Start with 15 seconds of simple rhythm training. Tap with the metronome, see your timing, and try again. Metronoamee makes practice easy to fit into your day, with no instrument needed. You can also connect an instrument through a compatible audio interface or capture your playing with a microphone. Tap on iPhone or iPad; click the pad on Mac. SEE YOUR TIMING, NOTE BY NOTE Follow the timeline and histograms to see early and late input. The waterfall adds each note from top to bottom, showing target durations and your actual input. Review scores and grades after play. FIVE WAYS TO TAKE A RHYTHM CHALLENGE Choose 15, 30, 60, 120, 300, or 600 seconds. Play time starts at 15 seconds, and your chosen time and mode are remembered. - Standard: practice with clicks and all timing displays. - Blind mode 1: hide the timeline while keeping the waterfall and histograms. - Blind mode 2: hide all three displays and follow the clicks. - Rhythm test 1: remember the count-in tempo, then maintain it without clicks. - Rhythm test 2: follow a numeric countdown, then measure your own tempo without metronome clicks. Standard and blind modes begin with a one-bar count-in and continue through the end of the bar that reaches your chosen duration. Results show a score out of 100, a grade, histograms, and missed inputs. Choose Try again for another run. Rhythm tests run for exactly the selected seconds, treating each onset as one beat to measure average BPM and interval variation. Timing displays and remaining seconds stay hidden during play. Afterwards, review a waterfall recalculated at your measured average BPM. These tests have no score out of 100. Tap sound follows its separate volume setting. RECORD NORMAL PLAY, TOO The green play button starts with a count-in. Change tempo or rhythm during play, then stop to review everything in one record. LOOK BACK AND SHARE Filter normal-play and challenge history by play type, challenge mode, time, input, and period. Score trends show the latest 30 matching scored runs. Share results, including the waterfall, or trend charts as images with a #metronoamee caption. PRACTICE WHEN TO LET GO A tone sounds while you hold the pad and stops when you release it. Enable release scoring for separate press and release scores in normal play and standard/blind challenges. Release scoring is off by default. Set tap volume from 0 to 100; 0 is silent. BRING YOUR INSTRUMENT, TOO Switch to Audio Input to see your playing's waveform and timing through a microphone or compatible audio interface. Watch your technique with the camera preview, or save a screen recording to your photo library. Automatic latency compensation, a separate tap timing adjustment, direct delay entry, and saved output preferences help you adjust your setup. START FOR FREE Free use includes up to 30 seconds of normal play per run and only 15-second challenges in all five modes. Free history lasts only for the current app session and is cleared when the app closes. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks unrestricted normal play, 30-, 60-, 120-, 300-, and 600-second challenges, and history saved on this device between launches. History does not sync between devices. Previous purchases can be restored.
