In their own words
MetroGnome
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 The tuner covers 60 instrument tunings across five families, plus chromatic Any Note mode and 16 historical reference pitches such as Baroque A=415 and Verdi's A=432.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.
