Metron vs Metronome

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.
