A minimalist metronome designed for focus. Set your tempo quickly and precisely, whether you’re making small adjustments, jumping in larger steps, or tapping in the beat. Multiple intuitive controls make it easy to change the tempo exactly the way you want. Built for musicians who value clarity and precision, with a clean interface inspired by modern iOS design. Choose your time signature, tap individual beats to set their accents, customize the look with multiple color themes, save your favorite presets, track bars and practice time with Playback Info, and use Auto-Increment to gradually increase the tempo as you practice. Choose from five carefully tuned click sounds to match your instrument and playing style, and play the metronome through external speakers using AirPlay when you need more volume. The same app is also available on macOS, with a native desktop experience including keyboard shortcuts and an always-on-top window mode. The metronome continues playing in the background and works on the Lock Screen, so you can keep practicing without keeping the app open. Everything is included, forever. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions.
