Keep time. Feel the groove.
Drift-free timing with swing, humanize, and accent control. The metronome that helps you practice without sounding robotic.
Want to get more out of your practice time? The guide walks through how to use swing, humanize, and accent patterns to practice without sounding robotic.
Practice Without Sounding Robotic →Practising to a click without playing like one
A metronome tells you whether you're on time. It doesn't tell you whether you're playing music, and practising exclusively to a rigid click can quietly train stiffness into your playing.
Swing is the first fix. Real playing rarely divides the beat perfectly evenly, and delaying the off-beats even slightly gives you something to sit against rather than march to. Ten or twenty percent is often all it takes.
Humanize handles the other half. No drummer plays two bars identically, and a click that varies a little forces you to actually listen instead of locking onto a machine. Muting beats does something similar — take out beats two and four and you have to keep the pulse yourself, which is the skill you were after all along.
Metronome questions, answered
Will it drift over a long practice session?
No — it keeps the beat against your device's audio clock rather than an ordinary timer, so it stays rock-steady whether you play for two minutes or two hours.
What do swing and humanize do?
Swing slides the off-beats a little later for a looser, jazzier feel. Humanize adds tiny, natural variations to each click so it feels played instead of robotic — handy for practising groove without locking up.
Can I accent or mute certain beats?
Yes — tap any beat dot to cycle it through accented, normal, or muted. The downbeat is accented to start with, and you can build whatever pattern you like from there.
Can I save my tempo and feel?
Yes — save any setup as a named preset and it'll be waiting next time you open the page. Presets are stored privately in your browser, so there's no account and nothing is uploaded.
