A precise online metronome built on the Web Audio clock, so the beat stays steady even when the browser tab is busy. Set the tempo (BPM), beats per bar, accent and subdivision, then press Start. Tap the Tap tempo button in time to set the BPM by ear. Everything runs in your browser — no app to install and nothing is sent anywhere.
A free online metronome that runs entirely in your browser. Set the tempo (BPM) anywhere from 30 to 300 with the slider or number, then press Start to hear the click. You can also tap the Tap tempo button in time with a song to set the BPM by ear. Choose the number of beats per bar (1–9 and 12) and turn on Accent first beat to make the downbeat clear — the on-screen dots light up in time with the beat. The subdivision can be set to quarter notes, eighth notes, triplets or sixteenth notes, which is handy for rhythm and scale practice, and the volume is adjustable too. This metronome is built on the Web Audio API's audio clock and schedules each beat ahead of time (a lookahead scheduler), so the tempo stays rock steady even when the browser tab is busy — unlike timers that drift. Your tempo, beats, subdivision, accent and volume are saved in your browser, so they're ready next time you open it. Everything happens on your device, inside the browser — nothing is recorded, uploaded or sent to a server. No install, no sign-up, free, and it works on desktop and phone.

- Set the tempo (BPM) with the slider or by pressing Tap tempo in time.
- Pick the beats per bar, subdivision (eighths, triplets, sixteenths) and accent.

FAQ
What tempo range can I set?

Can I set a time signature like 3/4 or 6/8 with an accent?
Yes. Choose 1–9 or 12 beats per bar and turn on Accent first beat to make the downbeat stand out. The on-screen dots light up in time with the beat.
Can it play eighth notes or triplets?
