VOX Metronome - Your Whole Practice in One App Everything you need to practice, in one place. Tune up, warm up, play, push your tempo, and track your progress - without switching apps or putting down your instrument. VOX is a metronome you control by voice, a coach that hears every note you play, a tempo trainer, a tuner, a practice planner, and a practice log, all in one app. Whether you play guitar, drums, piano, or are just picking up your first instrument, VOX gives you everything a practice session needs. ONE APP, YOUR WHOLE PRACTICE • Metronome - 40 to 300 BPM, every subdivision and time signature • Voice control - hands-free, in four languages • ECO - see the timing of every note, no headphones needed • META - a tempo that climbs as you lock in • Routines - your whole session, run for you • Tuner - chromatic, every octave • Stats, goals, and reminders - see real progress • Timer, count-in, and visual cues TUNE UP A full chromatic tuner across every octave - tap a note to hear it. No separate tuner app needed. PLAY HANDS-FREE Start, stop, and dial in the tempo without touching your phone. Just say things like: • "Start the metronome" • "Set tempo to 95" • "Faster" / "Slower" • "Switch to eighth notes" • "Three-four time" • "Set a timer for five minutes" Or count "1, 2, 3, 4" out loud and VOX locks onto your speed and time signature. Speak to VOX in English, German, Spanish, or French. SEE YOUR TIMING WITH ECO VOX listens while you play and shows every note against the click: early, late, or in the pocket. Follow your timing on a live timeline, find exactly where you drift, and tighten it as you play. Works right over the phone speaker, no headphones needed. PUSH YOUR TEMPO WITH META Pick a start tempo and a goal. Hold the beat for a few bars and META raises the tempo, step by step, until you reach your goal. Say "goal 140" to set it by voice. PLAN YOUR SESSION Save any setup as an exercise, chain exercises into routines with timed breaks, and let VOX run the whole session hands-free - it switches tempo, time signature, and mode for you, exercise by exercise. Run any exercise with ECO or META, set a long-term target tempo, and pick up right where you left off. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Every session is logged automatically. See your practice time by week, month, and year, your streaks, tempo progress, and personal bests, with a history for every routine and exercise. Set weekly goals and get a reminder on the days you plan to play. MAKE IT YOURS 15 color themes, five metronome sounds, and full control over subdivisions, time signatures, and accents. Change the tempo with a swipe or by drawing circles around the number. Add a count-in and set a practice timer. Pick the visual cue that fits the room: • On-screen LED pulses in your choice of shape and color • Full-screen flash for stage and rehearsal-room visibility • Camera flash that turns your phone into a beat light OFFLINE AND PRIVATE Voice recognition and listening run entirely on your device. Your voice, your playing, and your practice history never leave your phone. No accounts. No ads. VOX PRO The metronome, subdivisions, themes, visual cues, count-in, and timer are free.

Pendulo

Most metronomes ask you to listen. Pendulo lets you watch. Pick a visual pattern, set your tempo, and keep time with your eyes on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Because the beat is visual first, Pendulo works where sound doesn't: practicing quietly late at night, staying locked in on a loud stage, or playing as a hard-of-hearing musician. Every pattern is built to be read at a glance. - Eight visual patterns, including a swinging pendulum, pulsing rings, and flashing panels - Tap tempo: tap along, and Pendulo finds your BPM instantly - 10 to 300 BPM, with 2 to 12 beats per cycle and a clear downbeat accent - A mute button right on the main screen, plus volume control to dial in your sound - Save a preset for every song or exercise - An auto-stop timer to end a session automatically - Color themes for any lighting or mood Free includes three visual patterns (Pendulum, Pulse, and Flash), three color themes, six core sounds, and tap tempo. A one-time purchase of "Pendulo Premium" unlocks the remaining five patterns (Arc, Star, Sweep, Circular, and Linear), an additional six color themes, sixteen more sounds, and the ability to save unlimited presets. No subscription. No ads. No data collected. Photosensitivity warning: Pendulo contains visual patterns that may include flashing or strobing effects.
