The Simplest Metronome does one thing, beautifully: it keeps time. No accounts, no ads, no clutter. Just a big, clear tempo, a single play button, and a click you can trust. TAP THE NUMBER There's no separate tap button. Tap the BPM itself in rhythm and the tempo follows you. Adjust with + and βˆ’, or hold them to move quickly. SEE THE BEAT Every beat flashes a soft blue light along the edge of your screen, alternating left and right. Glance at it while you play, even when you can't hear the click. ROCK-SOLID TIMING Clicks are scheduled directly on the audio hardware clock, so the tempo stays steady and precise. Change the tempo while it's playing and it follows smoothly. APPLE WATCH The full metronome on your wrist. Turn the Digital Crown to change the tempo, tap the number to set it, and feel every beat with a gentle haptic tap. It keeps going when you lower your wrist. FIVE CLEAR SOUNDS Classic, Electronic, Wood, Bell and Drum β€” each easy to hear in a mix. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR Light and dark appearance, works alongside your music apps, and remembers your last tempo and sound. β€’ 30–300 BPM β€’ Tap tempo on the BPM number β€’ Alternating left/right beat light β€’ Apple Watch app with Digital Crown and haptics β€’ Tempo and sound stay in sync between iPhone and Watch β€’ Plays alongside other audio β€’ No data collected Terms of Use: https://coderwrld.github.io/simplymetronome-legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://coderwrld.github.io/simplymetronome-legal/privacy.html
