About the Metronome
This free online metronome keeps a steady beat for practice. Set the tempo in BPM (beats per minute), choose a time signature, and press Start — you'll hear an accurate click and see a visual pulse on every beat, with the first beat of each bar accented so you can feel the downbeat.
Not sure of the tempo? Use Tap tempo — tap the button in time with a song and the metronome sets the BPM for you. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Accurate timing
The click is scheduled with the Web Audio clock, so it stays rock-steady even if your browser is busy — no drifting or stuttering like a plain timer. That makes it reliable for real practice, from slow ballads to fast runs.
