Feel the Wind: The Ultimate Sailing Companion WindTalker turns your Apple Watch and iPhone into a real-time sailing instrument — showing you exactly where the wind is coming from, how fast you're going, and where to point your bow next. TRUE WIND & APPARENT WIND See both the true wind (straight from Apple Weather) and the apparent wind you actually feel on deck — calculated live from your boat's speed and heading. Point your compass at the horizon and watch both arrows update in real time. OPTIMAL SAIL ANGLE Based on true wind, apparent wind, and your current point of sail — close-hauled, beam reach, broad reach, or downwind — WindTalker recommends the sail angle to get the most out of every gust. RACE START COUNTDOWN Cycle through 5, 3, or 1-minute countdowns (or an instant "Go"), with a reaction-delay setting that fires the start signal early so you're moving exactly on time. Voice, beep, and haptic cues keep you counted down without ever looking away from the line. COURSE MARK TRACKING Lay out your waypoints on iPhone and they sync straight to your watch. Live bearing and distance to your next mark, automatic advancement as you round each one — no more guessing where the next buoy is. BOUNDARY ALERTS Draw a sailing area and get an instant alert — with a live return bearing — the moment you drift outside it. Stay safe without staring at a map the whole time. VOYAGE LOG Every session's route, distance, speed, and calories are recorded to Apple Health, so you can relive (and improve on) every sail. Built for Apple Watch, and just as capable solo on iPhone — WindTalker is the sailing companion that reads the wind so you can glide the water.

A metronome you run with your voice, so your hands never leave the instrument. Say "start" to begin, "faster" to speed up. No tapping, no stopping mid-phrase. The app listens through its own microphone and recognizes speech on your device, so it works right away. There is no need to turn on iOS Voice Control or any Accessibility setting. TALK TO YOUR METRONOME "start" and "stop" "faster" and "slower" move 5 BPM, "up" and "down" move 1 "tempo 120", or just a number, jumps straight to it "double" and "half" "quarter", "eighth", "triplet", "sixteenth" for subdivisions "louder", "quieter", "mute" Forget a command? Say "help" and every phrase you can use appears on screen THE FULL METRONOME IS FREE Meters from 1 to 8 beats, with a stronger click on beat one Quarter, eighth, triplet and sixteenth subdivisions Three ways to watch the beat: bounce, orbit and ring Tap tempo: tap the big number in rhythm to set the BPM Timing check: tap the orbit ring as you play and see how close you landed The screen stays awake while it plays, and your last tempo and meter are remembered NOT MY TEMPO PRO Practice mode: a speed trainer that adds a few BPM every few bars until you reach your target Accent editor: set every click in the bar to high, low or silent, and save a preset per song Chromatic tuner: tune up before you start Pro is a yearly subscription with a free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WindTalker at none against Not My Tempo's 2. Not My Tempo's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 months) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
