About this app

Metronome is a simple metronome with a rotary dial, tap tempo metronome controls and a BPM counter, so you can practice with a steady beat. Set it up as a metronome offline, with no account and nothing to configure: tap tempo BPM in or dial in a metronome 60 BPM click and start playing.

Every player drifts — rushing the exciting bars, dragging the hard ones — and you cannot hear your own drift while you're playing. Practice without a steady reference and the timing errors get rehearsed right into the piece, which is why teachers keep writing the same note on the same bar: use the metronome.

This simple metronome gives you that steady reference with nothing in the way. Set the tempo on a rotary dial, tap the beat in if you already feel it, press start — and an accented downbeat plus a pulsing dot row keep the time while you keep your eyes on the music.

KEY FEATURES
• Rotary dial — drag through 40–240 BPM with fine, tactile control
• Tap tempo — tap the groove you hear and the app locks it in from a 4-tap rolling average, a quick BPM counter for any song
• Accented downbeat — beat 1 clicks louder, so you always know where the bar starts
• Time signatures — 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, and 6/8, picked from the top bar
• Beat-pulse dots — a flashing dot row mirrors every click, so you can follow the beat with the sound off
• Tempo markings — Largo, Andante, Moderato, Allegro, Presto displayed live as you change BPM
• Screen stays on — wakelock holds the display through the whole session; the click stops when you leave the app and never restarts on its own
• No setup — no account and nothing to configure between you and the beat

MADE FOR
• Music students working scales, etudes, and exam pieces at graded tempos with a time signature metronome
• Guitarists, pianists, and drummers building tempo discipline a few BPM at a time
• Band and orchestra sectionals that need one shared reference tempo
• Singers and producers using the tap tempo app to check a song's BPM by tapping along

WHY A SIMPLE METRONOME WORKS
Start the piece ten under tempo, nudge the dial up two clicks at a time, and let the downbeat carry you through the hard bars. Whether you need a metronome BPM counter for a new song or a steady click for daily scales, this is the tool for it.

- Saving a preset with a full list (50) now tells you why.
