Train your inner metronome. Pulse Master is a free rhythm trainer with four modes that help you practice timing and rhythm specifically. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads—just open it and practice. SILENT BARS Test your internal metronome. The click plays a few bars, then it stops — you continue playing on your own. When it starts again, you’ll immediately hear whether you stayed in time. Choose freely which bars are loud and which are silent. STRUMMING PATTERNS Internalize strumming patterns by visualizing them. Arrows or DUs show you downstrokes and upstrokes, mutes, and rests. Work in eighths or sixteenths, save your favorite patterns as presets. RHYTHM PYRAMID Climb through subdivisions — quarter notes, eighth notes, sixteenth notes, tuplets up to septuplets. The pyramid automatically changes step by step so you can learn to embed subdivisions cleanly into the beat. BEAT PATTERN Design your own accent patterns. Configurable per beat, with different subdivisions per beat. ALSO • Everything stored locally on your device, no sign-up required • Anonymized usage statistics via Amplitude (EU servers), without tracking COMPLETELY FREE Pulse Master is 100% free — no in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads. All modes are unlocked from the start. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://repetude.com/privacy
