Metronome
Keep time with a precise click track
What is a metronome?
A metronome is a practice tool that produces a steady click at a set tempo, helping you develop tight timing and consistent rhythm. Whether you're a beginner learning to keep time or a professional rehearsing complex passages, a metronome is essential.
Our free online metronome works right in your browser — no downloads, no apps. Set your BPM, choose a time signature, and start practicing immediately.
How to use the metronome
Set your tempo
Type a BPM value, use the slider, or tap the Tap button to detect tempo from a rhythm you're hearing.
Choose your time signature
Select from common time signatures: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8, or 7/8. Beat 1 is accented.
Start practicing
Hit Start and play along. Visual beat indicators pulse with the click so you can follow along even in noisy environments.
