MathRonome is a polyrhythmic visual metronome designed for musicians, music teachers, and students. Watch two independent rhythms orbit in sync, hear every beat, and build your rhythmic vocabulary from simple time-keeping to complex polyrhythms. FEATURES • Two independent metronomes (M1 & M2) with visual ring animation • Subdivisions from 2 to 5 (free) or 2 to 32 (Pro) • Common Pulse — hear and see the pulse both layers share, with the moments they meet accented on the dial • Divisible Beats — long-press any beat to split it into equal sub-beats (triplets, quintuplets, sixteenths) and toggle each one • Toggle individual beats on/off to create custom patterns • Randomize beat patterns for sight-reading practice • 1 sound preset (free) or 4 presets: Percussion, Drums, Marimba, Piano (Pro) • Adjustable tempo from 1 to 120 RPM • Independent volume and mute controls per metronome • Background audio — keep practicing while using other apps • Bluetooth audio latency compensation slider • Interactive tutorial with step-by-step guidance • Works on iPhone and iPad PRO UPGRADE ($2.99, one-time) • Full subdivision range: 2 to 32 • All 4 sound presets • Swap M1 and M2 subdivisions instantly • Switch Mode: automatically alternate between metronomes Perfect for: • Music students learning polyrhythms (3:4, 5:7, etc.) • Teachers demonstrating rhythm concepts visually • Drummers and percussionists building independence • Any musician wanting to strengthen their internal clock No subscription. No ads. One optional upgrade. New in 1.2: Common Pulse. Switch on the pulse the two layers share and watch the polyrhythm resolve — a subtle shaker marks the smallest beat both rhythms have in common, dots around the dial show where each layer falls, and the moments where they meet ring out a little louder and brighter. The clearest way yet to hear, and see, two rhythms lock together.
