What it is

The Metronome by Soundbrenner combines a metronome, practice tracker, and tuner for musicians. Accent markers have four states, and users can assign sounds and visual effects to each state. Songs can be saved to a library, organized into setlists, and shared by link; practice history supports reviewing sessions and building streaks and calendar progress. The app works with Soundbrenner wearables, which users connect from within the app. Ableton Link syncs it over Wi-Fi with Ableton Live and other Link-enabled apps. The maker discontinued DAW synchronization beyond Ableton Link, citing usability and reliability issues. Core app features are free. Soundbrenner Plus adds cloud backup and cross-device library syncing, but its multiple listed subscription prices have no specified billing periods. The app supports iOS 16 or later, iPadOS 16 or later, macOS 13 Ventura or later on Apple silicon Macs, and Android 10 or later. It supports tap tempo, subdivision controls, and custom time signatures, but not polyrhythms.
