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

Groove over mistakes. Great players have great timing. Your Metronome is a practice metronome for building that timing. It goes beyond keeping time — build detailed rhythms, log your progress, and look back on how far you've come, all in one app. ■ Build any rhythm • Tempo from 30 to 300 BPM — set it intuitively with the slider, fine-tune with ±1 / ±10 • Long-press a beat to deepen the split: quarter → 8th → 16th; pick triplets or mixed values per beat • Put an accent on every note (strong, weak, or silent) • From simple 4/4 and 3/4 to compound 6/8 and 12/8, and odd meters like 5/8 and 7/8 (2+2+3) • Adjustable shuffle / swing feel • Alternate two different bars with A/B — great for bossa nova and clave ■ Practice by eye and voice • Switch visual modes: always on / alternating / sound only • Voice count reads the downbeats aloud ("1, 2, 3, 4") for counting practice ■ Capture how you play • Record your playing with the visual beats and click burned into the video • A count-in leads in, then recording begins — save straight to your camera roll • Share it, or look back at your own form as part of practice ■ Track your progress • Tap "Cleared" to log the tempo you reached today • See your daily top BPM on a graph and set a target BPM • Attach notes to the song you're practicing, archived per song ■ Keep the habit • Earn stamps as you practice and unlock background themes • Gentle practice reminders help you stay consistent ■ Your Metronome Pro (subscription) • Tempo Trainer: automatically steps BPM up toward your goal • Detailed analytics: practice streak and goal-ETA forecast • Unlimited presets (free plan includes 3) • Early access to the photo theme (use your own photo as the background) All data is stored on your device.
