A metronome that runs in your browser with steady, accurate timing. Pick a tempo from 30 to 300 BPM, choose a time signature from 1/4 to 12/8, accent the first beat of each bar and add eighth note, triplet or sixteenth note subdivisions. Tap the tempo in if you do not know the number, and watch the beat lights if you would rather see the count than hear it. Clicks are scheduled ahead on the browser's audio clock, so they stay steady even when the page is busy. It is free and needs no sign in.
Set the tempo with the slider, the plus and minus buttons or by typing a number, then press Start. You can also press the spacebar to start and stop. Change the time signature, the accent and the subdivision while it plays.
Yes. Instead of relying on a page timer, each click is scheduled ahead of time on the browser's audio clock, which runs at the audio sample rate. That keeps the beat steady even when your computer is busy with other things.
Any whole number from 30 to 300 BPM. That covers slow practice tempos as well as very fast styles.
1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and 12/8. In the eighth note meters each click is one eighth note, and the start of each group gets a lighter accent, for example beats 1 and 4 in 6/8.
Subdivisions add quieter clicks between the beats: two per beat for eighth notes, three for triplets or four for sixteenth notes. They help you lock in rhythms that fall between the main beats.
Yes. Press Tap along with the music a few times and the metronome sets itself to that tempo. For a dedicated tapper with averaging and a genre guide, use Tap Tempo (BPM Tapper).
Browsers only allow a page to play sound after you click or press a key on it. Press Start or the spacebar and it begins right away.
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign in and uses no credits. It runs entirely in your browser.
