BPM Detection

Hear a tempo, read it off the screen

Point your iPhone at whatever is playing and the detector reads the tempo to two decimals. Or tap the beat yourself and the metronome takes the number.

Numeric BPM entry
Advanced Metronome

Built for the way you actually practice

Any time signature, subdivisions, accents with their own volume and pitch, and a sound list deep enough to find a click you don't hate.
