Metronome – Beat & Rhythm

The metronome from Notation, now a standalone app. Find your tempo and practice with rhythm patterns, polyrhythms, a tempo trainer and silent bars.

Your beat. Your tempo.

The metronome from Notation is now a standalone app. Whether you are learning a piece slowly, building rhythmic confidence or exploring polyrhythms: set your pulse and focus on the music.

TEMPO AND METER, YOUR WAY Choose a tempo from 40 to 240 BPM or tap it in with Tap Tempo. Tap the tempo number to enter a precise value directly. Set the top and bottom numbers of the time signature separately. Choose one of four levels for each beat: very strong, strong, normal or muted.

SEE AND HEAR RHYTHMS Choose from 14 rhythm patterns with clear musical notation: from a basic pulse to eighth notes, triplets and sixteenth notes, including offbeats, dotted rhythms and rests.

EXPLORE POLYRHYTHMS Play two rhythms together, such as 3 against 2 or 4 against 3. Set each voice to 1–12 beats, with its own sound and volume.

MAKE STEADY PROGRESS The tempo trainer increases the tempo after a set number of bars until you reach your target. Silent bars help you keep the pulse yourself while the visual display continues. Choose fixed intervals or random intervals within your chosen minimum and maximum number of audible bars.

YOUR SETTINGS, READY WHEN YOU ARE Save named favorites for pieces and exercises. Touch and hold a favorite, then drag it into position; your order is saved. Choose from five click sounds and a counting voice in the app’s language, and adjust the volume. Optionally keep the metronome playing with the screen locked or while using another app.

STAY FOCUSED ON MUSIC The app works offline, without an account, advertising or tracking. The counting voice requires a matching system voice on your device; if needed, download it once in the device settings. It does not use the microphone or make audio recordings. Settings and favorites are stored locally on your device.

For iPhone and iPad. Available in German, English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese (Brazil).
