Metronome Beats — a free, accurate metronome, drum machine, and speed trainer designed by musicians. With over 25 million downloads, it's used worldwide for solo and group practice, teaching, live performance, dance classes, running cadence, and golf putting drills.
Built for one-handed control: tap to nudge the tempo by 1 or 5 BPM, sweep the slider, or tap out a tempo with your finger. Visual beat indicators let you follow the bar at a glance — mute the sound and stay in time visually while you read music or talk to your students. Settings are saved automatically, so you pick up exactly where you left off.
