**K-Metronome** is an intuitive and accurate metronome app for practice and performance.
You can freely set the beat, unit, and BPM, and it distinguishes between strong and weak beats and displays them visually with sound or flash.
It also operates reliably in the background as a foreground service, making it ideal for instrument practice, vocal training, and rhythm training.
