Pendulo vs MetroEye

Most metronomes ask you to listen. Pendulo lets you watch. Pick a visual pattern, set your tempo, and keep time with your eyes on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Because the beat is visual first, Pendulo works where sound doesn't: practicing quietly late at night, staying locked in on a loud stage, or playing as a hard-of-hearing musician. Every pattern is built to be read at a glance. - Eight visual patterns, including a swinging pendulum, pulsing rings, and flashing panels - Tap tempo: tap along, and Pendulo finds your BPM instantly - 10 to 300 BPM, with 2 to 12 beats per cycle and a clear downbeat accent - A mute button right on the main screen, plus volume control to dial in your sound - Save a preset for every song or exercise - An auto-stop timer to end a session automatically - Color themes for any lighting or mood Free includes three visual patterns (Pendulum, Pulse, and Flash), three color themes, six core sounds, and tap tempo. A one-time purchase of "Pendulo Premium" unlocks the remaining five patterns (Arc, Star, Sweep, Circular, and Linear), an additional six color themes, sixteen more sounds, and the ability to save unlimited presets. No subscription. No ads. No data collected. Photosensitivity warning: Pendulo contains visual patterns that may include flashing or strobing effects.

MetroEye is a metronome you can see. An eye at the center of the screen follows every beat and blinks on the downbeat — lock onto the timing with your eyes, not just your ears. ■ Latency offset — for players in headphones The click you hear is never exactly where the app thinks it is: output latency and touch delay push it off by a fixed amount. MetroEye lets you dial that out in 10 ms steps, right on the play screen, while the metronome is still running. Nudge − or + until the click sits where your ear expects it. ■ Two ways to start · Current Tempo — tap to set any speed on the spot · Preset Tempo — play along to a saved tempo sequence ■ Preset sequences Group several sections (BPM + time signature) into one preset. While playing, a TAP switches to the next section at the end of the bar. ■ Play screen TAP and STOP sit one above the other at the same size, so you never hunt for a button mid-take. STOP leaves the screen where it is — press START to resume at the same tempo, or just tap four beats to set a new one. ■ Fine control · Time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/4 · Subdivisions: quarter, eighth, triplet, sixteenth · Volume ■ More · 11 languages, auto-selected · Fully offline · Free · No ads · No sign-up See the beat with MetroEye.
