Features
Made for practice, not for settings screens
Sample-accurate timing
Clicks are scheduled at exact audio sample positions, so the beat stays rock-steady even while the screen animates.
Tap tempo
Tap along and Beat matches your tempo instantly, averaging your taps over a rolling three-second window.
Subdivisions
Add eighths, triplets, or sixteenths between the main beats to practise finer rhythms — or switch them off.
Time signatures
2/4, 3/4, 4/4 and 6/8, with an accented downbeat so you always know where you are in the bar.
Haptics
Feel the beat as well as hear it — useful when you're practising quietly or wearing headphones.
Keeps going when you leave
Switch to your sheet music, lock the screen, run a backing track — the beat carries on. Set it once and forget it.
Themes
Two styles, seven colours
Classic is a wooden metronome with a swinging pendulum and a warm, woody tick. Digital is a back-lit panel with a clean electronic beep. Each has its own colours — pick the one you like looking at.

In practice
Built for how you actually practise
Working a passage up to speed
Set a tempo you can play cleanly, then nudge it with +1 as the passage settles. The range runs 40–208 BPM, so you can start slower than feels dignified and end up past tempo.
Finding the tempo of a piece
Tap along to a recording, or to the tempo in your head, and Beat locks on — it averages your taps over a rolling three-second window, so it settles quickly.
Reading sheet music while it keeps time
Switch to your score, lock the screen, or start a backing track — the beat keeps going. Set it once and leave it.
Tightening up subdivided rhythms
Add eighths, triplets or sixteenths between the main beats to hear exactly where the inner rhythm sits — then switch them off once it's in your hands.
Practising quietly, or late
Haptics let you feel the beat without hearing it, which works with headphones or when the house is asleep.
