The tools on metronome-bpm.com are the web version of Beatmate - Pro Music Metronome, a metronome, polyrhythm trainer and drum sequencer for Android. The website and the app share the same timing design and the same synthesized click voices, so what you set up here sounds and behaves the same on your phone.
What the app adds
- Sample-accurate engine
- A native audio engine that counts frames, not milliseconds, the one this website's engine is ported from. It never drifts and never lags.
- Background & screen-off play
- Keep practicing with the phone in your pocket. The click carries on when the screen locks or you switch apps, something no website can do.
- Haptic pulse & camera flash
- Feel the beat in your hand when the room is loud; follow the flash from across a stage with no sound at all.
- Speed & gap trainers
- Tempo ramps that climb a few BPM every few bars, and bars of silence where you keep the time yourself.
- Polyrhythms
- Up to four cycles turning against each other (3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 7:4, 5:4:3), each with its own sound, pitch and level.
- 24-track drum sequencer
- Real drum sounds, every track its own loop length, swing, and a mastering bus with Punch and Room.
- Click Lab
- Design your own click from oscillators, noise, envelope and pitch drop. Save unlimited presets.
- Ableton Link
- Lock tempo, beat and bar with other Link apps and devices on the same Wi-Fi.
- Saved setups
- Name a whole rhythm (meter, grouping, tempo, accents, trainer) and bring it back next week.
- Material You
- Colors that follow your wallpaper, eight hand-picked schemes, light and dark, proper tablet layouts.
On a tablet
Layouts that open up on a larger screen: the grid, the dial and the sequencer side by side with their controls.
iPhone or iPad?
There is no iOS app yet. The web tools work in Safari: add the metronome to your Home Screen from the share menu and it opens full-screen like an app. Note that iOS pauses web audio when the screen locks.
Privacy
No account, no sign-in, nothing to connect to. The app works fully offline; see the privacy policy for details.
