BeatMe
A metronome for musicians.
Odd time signatures, polyrhythms and swing — a click you can actually trust, from the first bar to the last.
Built for the kind of practice a click usually gets in the way of
Most metronomes give you four beats and a tempo dial. BeatMe gives you the bar you are actually playing.
- 1 to 999 BPM, decimals welcome. Tap it, double it, halve it, nudge it by one or five, or type it exactly.
- 1 to 16 beats a bar, counted in quarters, eighths, sixteenths or dotted quarters. 5/8, 7/8, 9/8, 11/16 — or invent your own grouping; 2+2+3 is one tap away.
- Accent any block — accent it, soften it, or silence it. Change the subdivision and your accents stay exactly where you put them.
- Up to eight notes per beat: triplets, quintuplets, septuplets.
- Swing from dead straight to a hard shuffle.
Polyrhythms you can hear
Up to four cycles turning against each other inside one revolution — 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 7:4, 9:4, even 5:4:3. Give each cycle its own note, octave, volume and place in the stereo field, and you stop hearing arithmetic and start hearing music.
The practice does itself
- Speed trainer — start at 80, land at 120, climbing a few BPM every few bars. Hold at the top, or loop back and go again.
- Gap trainer — bars of silence where you keep the time yourself. The playhead keeps moving. The truth arrives when the click comes back.
- Session limits in bars or minutes, and a quiet count of your total practice time.
A click you can live with
Six presets to start — Wood, Click, Beep, Ding, Square and Sine — and Click Lab, where the sound is yours down to the oscillators, the noise, the attack, the decay and the pitch drop. Accent, beat and subdivision each get their own sound and level.
Songs and setlists
A song changes as it goes, so a song in BeatMe is a run of sections: a verse at one tempo, a chorus at another, each for as many bars as it lasts. Drag sections into order, tap one to set its length, or dial a new one in on the metronome and drop it straight into the song.
A setlist is your songs in running order, with a countdown before each one so you can pick the instrument up, and an optional bar counted in at the first song’s own tempo. BeatMe plays the whole set through, moving from section to section on the bar.
Songs are a library: the same song can sit in as many setlists as you like, and editing it once updates them all.
Why the timing holds up
Every click is placed at an exact audio frame inside a native low-latency callback — never by a timer the system can delay. Each beat is derived from the one before it, so rounding error cannot accumulate: under a microsecond of drift across eight hours of sixteenth notes.
No click is a recording. Every one is synthesised the moment it plays.
See it and feel it
A haptic pulse for when the room is too loud, a camera flash for following from across a stage, background playback so it keeps going while you use something else, and Material You colours that follow your wallpaper.
What it costs
The metronome is free. Every time signature, polyrhythm, trainer and sound is yours from the start, with no ads and no subscription.
Saving is a one-time purchase. Setups, songs and setlists — buy it once, keep it forever.
