Tonaly Beat vs PocketPercussion

Tonaly Beat keeps perfect time and looks the part. Two styles: a classic wooden metronome with a swinging pendulum and a warm, woody tick, or a back-lit digital panel with a clean electronic beep. Seven colours between them — pick the one you like looking at. • Sample-accurate timing — clicks are scheduled at exact audio sample positions, so the beat stays steady even while the screen animates • 40–208 BPM, with tap tempo • Time signatures 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8, with an accented downbeat • Subdivisions: eighths, triplets, sixteenths • Changing the subdivision or time signature takes effect on the next bar, so the count never stumbles mid-practice • Vibration on every beat, or off — for a phone resting on a piano lid, or practising through headphones • On iPhone and iPad, in portrait and landscape • Live Activity — tempo in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen, with a Stop button • Keeps going when you leave — switch to your sheet music or lock the screen and the beat carries on • Remembers your settings No ads, no accounts, no analytics, no network connections. Nothing is collected. Everything stays on your device.

To use Shake to Play, hold the iPhone with the SIDE BUTTON facing you and shake it back and forth. The sound intensity automatically adjusts based on the strength of each shake. You do not need to hold the iPhone perfectly upright. As long as the SIDE BUTTON remains facing you, the device can be tilted up to approximately 90° forward. Shake detection may not work if the iPhone is tilted more than 45° around the Y-axis (toward either the screen or the back of the device). You can also play the selected instrument by tapping it directly on the screen.
