Metron vs Pendulo

Metron: Time is a musician-focused metronome built for more than a simple quarter-note pulse. Set a tempo from 20 to 400 BPM, tap in a tempo, choose a time signature, and decide how the meter should feel. Hear clear downbeats, grouped accents, and subdivisions while the visualizer stays aligned with the rhythm being played. Features include: - simple, compound, and additive meter feels; - beat, duplet, triplet, and sixteenth-note subdivisions where musically valid; - first-beat accents and adjustable swing; - three visual styles: LED beat strip, mechanical metronome, and pulse display; - selectable sound kits, including the nostalgic Classic Metronome; - waveform choices, optional haptics, and Tap Tempo; - saved tempo and rhythm presets in the BPM Log; - private iCloud synchronization for settings and saved presets. Metron keeps musical meaning visible: the BPM display includes its note unit, and structural changes made during playback wait for the next bar so the sound and visual rhythm change together.

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.
