MetroGnome vs Metrognomicon

MetroGnome is an iPhone and iPad app combining a metronome, rhythm-pattern editor, and instrument tuner. Its metronome runs from 20 to 300 BPM and offers tap tempo, customizable meters, subdivisions, nine synthesized tick sounds, and live beat accents ranging from strong to silent. Eleven flamenco palos include traditional accent cycles that can be edited during playback. The pattern editor supports unlimited measures, mixed time signatures, rests, tuplets, repeats, tempo changes, and real staff notation. The tuner covers 60 instrument tunings across five families, plus chromatic Any Note mode and 16 historical reference pitches such as Baroque A=415 and Verdi's A=432. These tools run on-device and offline without an account or login, while clicks continue with the screen locked or another app open. The maker says tuner audio is analyzed in memory and not recorded, stored, or transmitted. iOS 17 or later is required; Android is coming soon.

Metrognomicon is a free iPhone metronome for practicing music that changes tempo. It plays ordered tempo segments and can switch automatically between them. Set each segment by beat count or elapsed time, then choose looping or a single run that stops at the end. Tempo settings span 40 to 240 BPM, entered with a slider or tap tempo. Six click sounds are available, and an optional count-off plays the final four beats before every tempo change. The interface lists light, dark and Brushed Metal themes. The maker describes the app for classical players, students working on difficult passages and musicians practicing pieces with tempo changes. Metrognomicon runs on iPhone, makes no network connections and stores sequences and preferences on the device, supporting offline use. The App Store listing limits it to iPhone. Support is available by email at [email protected]; problem reports should include the device model, iOS version and app version.
