Practice and improve your performance with a metronome and tuner on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, plus a haptic metronome for Apple Watch.

Presets remember tempo, beats per bar, rhythm, click sound, volume, count-in, and tempo-trainer settings. An optional one- or two-bar count-in gives you time to get ready before practice begins. Set an optional auto-stop for 5, 10, or 15 minutes on every platform. On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, see the target beside elapsed practice time while playing. On Apple Watch, check the time remaining in Settings. Presets, count-in, and auto-stop are included without a subscription. On iPhone, iPad, and Mac, set the BPM, beats per bar, rhythm subdivision, and beat accents. Choose between classic, woodblock, clave, rimshot, and digital click sounds. Sound and tuner options apply and save immediately, and Reset restores their defaults. Use the microphone tuner with an adjustable A4 reference, play reference notes, and explore common guitar tunings. A yearly subscription unlocks Pro tap tempo and a tempo trainer with automatic BPM steps after a configurable number of bars.
