ESTË - Metronome is the metronome built by people who play live. Precise, sample-accurate timing with the focus serious musicians actually want every day — on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. CORE - 30–300 BPM: tap tempo, fine tuning, direct numeric entry - Time signatures from 2/4 to 12/8, plus custom (any numerator over /2 /4 /8 /16) - Per-beat accents: strong, accent, muted or silent - Subdivisions: 8th, triplet, 16th, dotted 8th; each with its own volume - Curated sound packs: Digital, Woodblock, Rim - Per-voice pan and volume mixer, plus master volume BUILT FOR THE STAGE - Setlists with song sections: each section keeps its own BPM, time signature, accent pattern, subdivision and polyrhythm, advancing after a fixed number of bars or on your cue - Speed trainer: raise the tempo automatically as you play - Polyrhythms: a second cross-rhythm voice (4 vs 3, 5 vs 4…) with its own timbre and pan - Ableton Link: share tempo with other Link apps and devices on your network APPLE WATCH - Standalone, or paired with your iPhone - A haptic click on your wrist: feel the beat with the screen off DESIGNED WITH CARE - A distinctive, screen-recordable rhythm visualisation - A dark, focused interface with an adaptive layout on iPad - Italian and English PRIVACY No tracking. No analytics. No accounts. No data collection: everything stays on your device. Ableton Link talks only to devices on your local network. ESTË - Metronome is free.
