Ghost Beat vs Metropoly

A metronome can keep time for you. Ghost Beat helps you learn to keep it yourself. Ghost Beat alternates between audible clicks and silent bars, giving you room to feel the tempo on your own. When the click comes back, you can hear how well you held it. Use it for drum practice, warm-ups, or working through a tricky rhythm. PRACTICE WITH AND WITHOUT THE CLICK Choose your tempo, time signature, subdivisions, and accents. Set how many bars play and how many stay silent, or use Random Mute to make individual beats disappear. Add spoken counts alongside the click and adjust their volumes separately. BUILD A PRACTICE HABIT Set a daily goal and follow your progress through the day. See your recent practice history, streaks, and weekly totals. Optional on-device detection can count your playing even when you don't need the metronome. Detection requires Ghost Beat to be open and active. START HANDS-FREE Use Start on Sound to begin without reaching for the screen. Calibrate microphone sensitivity for your room and playing, and choose whether silence should stop the metronome automatically. MAKE YOUR OWN ROUTINES Chain exercises with their own tempos, ghost patterns, and time signatures. Choose timed or bar-based steps, loop your routine, and save presets for setups you use often. Free tempo ladders help you work toward a target speed. CHECK YOUR TIMING Tap along in Tap Accuracy mode to see how consistently you land on the beat. Timing grades and deviation measurements give you something concrete to work on next time.

Metropoly is a polyrhythmic metronome that turns polyrhythms into something you can see and feel. It helps you develop an intuition for complex rhythms by visualizing them in a way that makes their structure obvious at a glance. BUY IT ONCE AND OWN IT - No subscription. - No ads. - No sign-in. - Every feature works offline. - One purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac. BUILD A POLYRHYTHM - Up to six rhythms, each with its own beat count, all lining back up every cycle. - Every rhythm gets its own configurable color and sound, so the parts stay separable by eye and ear. - If preferred, add a count-in of one full cycle of the first rhythm, so you know where the loop starts before it starts. EXPORT THE LOOP AS VIDEO - Render the current polyrhythm to a square video at 1080p or 4K. - Choose a gray, black, white, or transparent background that drops straight into your edit. - Loop it 1 to 64 times, with or without audio. Loops are frame and sample accurate, so they cut together seamlessly. - Rendering carries on while you use another app, and tells you when it is finished. PRESETS - Save any configuration as a named preset and load it back instantly. - The app reopens on the polyrhythm you were last working on. THEMES - Three light themes and three dark themes, following the system appearance or pinned to one. - Separately configure the background color of the polygon view. ABOUT THE DEVELOPER Made by Thijmen Dam, an indie developer and musician building small, focused tools with care. Metropoly started as a way to practice polyrhythms, and grew into something I actually enjoy opening every day. Thanks for giving it a spin (literally!). It means a lot to me.
