Pulse MetronomeSet your tempo in 3 seconds. Start practicing.
A clean, precise metronome where the beat never lags.

Sound familiar?
Your metronome app's beat drifts just enough to throw you off

Light, precise, and simple
Sample-accurate beat, no lag
The click is generated sample-by-sample by the audio engine, so the beat never drifts or stutters — even at high BPM or while other apps are running.
Tempo presets that save themselves
Every time you press START, your tempo is saved to a preset slot automatically. Switching between your songs' tempos takes one tap — long-press a preset to pin it forever.
Tap tempo
Heard a song and want its tempo? Tap the TAP button to the beat and the BPM is set instantly.
Keeps playing with the screen off
Practice with your phone in your pocket or on the music stand with the screen off. The beat keeps going in the background, with a handy stop button in the notification.
Beats, subdivisions & three sounds
Time signatures from 1 to 8 beats with a clear accent on beat one, subdivisions from quarters to sixteenths and triplets, and three click sounds — woodblock, click, beep — with independent volume.
Home widget & dark design
Start and stop at your last tempo without opening the app, thanks to the home screen widget. A dark, distraction-free design made for practice rooms and stages — with a visual beat indicator for silent practice.
Three steps is all it takes

Frequently asked questions
Does the beat really never lag?
Right. Instead of scheduling sounds with timers, Pulse Metronome generates the click sample-by-sample inside the audio engine. That's why the beat never drifts or stutters — even at high BPM or while you use other apps.
Does it keep playing with the screen off?
Yes. Background playback keeps the click going when the screen turns off or you switch apps. There's a stop button right in the notification whenever you want to end it.
How do I save a tempo preset?
There's no save button — every time you press START, that tempo is stored in a preset slot automatically. Your recent tempos stay one tap away, and you can long-press a preset to pin it permanently.
Is it only for musicians?
Not at all. Runners use it to lock in their cadence (try 180 BPM), and it works great for dance practice, juggling, breathing exercises — anything that needs a steady rhythm. It's free, tiny to download, and works fully offline.
