Simple Metronome
A metronome that just keeps time — accurate, and it keeps going in the background.
Live demo — change the tempo, tap the speaker for sound
Simple, but serious about the beat
One screen, no clutter — and the parts that matter are built properly.
Audio-clock timing
Beats are driven by the audio playback position, not a timer — so the click never drifts.
Keeps playing in the background
Leave the app or turn the screen off — the beat continues, with play and stop in the notification.
Time signatures
1–12 over 4 or 8, and compound meters like 6/8 group into triplets automatically.
Drum mode
Practice over a kick–snare–hihat groove instead of a bare click.
Presets
Save BPM, meter and sound per song, and load them back with one tap.
Beat flash
Flash the screen or the camera light on each beat — for loud rooms.
Two themes, both orientations, and a flash
Real device captures — paw-print indicators included.
Portrait or landscape — both just fit
Turn the phone and the layout follows.

A blink on every beat — feel the tempo without sound.
