Built on the Web Audio API, so it keeps solid time instead of drifting like a lot of browser metronomes. Tap tempo, selectable time signatures, subdivisions, and visual beat indicators.
Use the BPM slider, type a number directly, or tap along to a song with Tap Tempo. Pick your time signature and subdivision, then press play. Spacebar works too. The beat dots light up in real time so you can follow along visually even with the volume low.
One thing worth doing: start way slower than you think you need. Nail the passage clean at 60 BPM before bumping it up 5-10 at a time. The accented downbeat helps keep your place in the measure, which matters more once you're pushing tempo.
Because it exposes every spot where you rush or drag. You do not notice those timing issues until a steady click lays them bare. Once you clean that up, playing with other musicians gets noticeably easier. There is a reason session players are religious about it.
Slower than you think you need. Find the tempo where you can play the part with zero mistakes, zero hesitation. Even if it feels absurdly slow. Then add 5-10 BPM and repeat. Not glamorous, but this is how muscle memory actually forms.
Tap the button in rhythm with whatever you're listening to. The tool averages your last few taps and sets the BPM. Saves a lot of time versus guessing and adjusting manually when you're trying to learn a song at the right tempo.
