Read full description

Synced Metronome is an app that plays a single metronome in sync across multiple devices. Of course, you can also use it as an ordinary metronome. [Metronome] - Beat subdivision: tap the ring to set finer subdivisions (eighth notes, shuffle beats, and more). - Tap tempo: tap the number a few times to measure the tempo. - Tempo entry: press and hold the number to type a tempo on the keyboard, down to two decimal places. [Sync playback] - High-precision sync: over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, devices align their beats to within a few milliseconds. Fine-tune by hand, too. - Shared tempo: any device can start, stop, or change the tempo, and everyone follows instantly. Everything stays on your local network - no account, no sign-in, and no internet required.
