Metrognomicon vs Metronome Beats

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.

Metronome Beats plays a regular beat at a chosen tempo, mainly to help musicians keep time while practising or playing. The web app lets users set BPM, beats per bar, and clicks per beat, and adjust tempo in one- or five-BPM steps. It supports varied time signatures, including compound time, and beat subdivisions that do not assume every beat is a quarter note. Mobile apps add tap tempo and a speed trainer that changes tempo gradually by bars or seconds. The app also includes programmable drum patterns, multiple kits, and mixer controls. Pro adds setlists, songs with configurable sections, and a Live mode for moving through songs during practice or performance. The maker also describes uses for running, golf practice, and breathing exercises. Metronome Beats is available on Android, iOS, macOS, and the web. The free app costs nothing and contains ads and in-app purchases. The listed iOS Pro purchase costs 8.99 USD once; Android and iOS purchases are separate. The free Android version displays personalized ads.
