A metronome that pushes your tempo for you
Rock-solid timing with accents, time signatures and subdivisions, plus a speed trainer that nudges the BPM up as you play — so you build real speed without touching the dial. The feature most apps hide behind a paywall.
Speed Trainer The standout
Automatically raises the tempo as you play, so you build speed hands-free. Set it, hit start, and just keep playing.
How to use it
From open tab to a steady click in four steps.
Set your tempo
Drag the slider, use the plus and minus buttons, or click the BPM number to type it. No idea of the tempo? Tap it in with the Tap here button and it works out the BPM.
Pick time signature and subdivision
Choose 4/4, 3/4, 6/8 and more, then set whether the clicks fall on quarters, eighths, triplets or sixteenths. The beat dots update to match.
Hit Start and set your accents
Press Start to hear the click. The first beat of each bar is accented so you can feel the downbeat. Click any beat dot to toggle its accent on or off.
Turn on the Speed Trainer (optional)
Want to build speed? Flip on the trainer below, set a start and target tempo, and the metronome raises the BPM for you as you play. More on that next.
How the speed trainer works
The fastest way to get faster on any instrument is to creep the tempo up in small steps. This does it for you.
Set your floor and ceiling
Pick a start BPM you can play cleanly and a target you’re reaching for. Clean and slow beats fast and sloppy every time.
Choose the climb
Set how many BPM to add and how often. Five BPM every two bars is a gentle, musical ramp. Bigger jumps for a tougher workout.
Flip it on and play
Toggle the trainer, hit start, and the metronome handles the dial. You focus entirely on clean playing as the tempo rises.
Find your wall, then live there
When your playing breaks down, that’s your current ceiling. Practise just below it, and watch it climb over the weeks.
Tempo markings, in plain BPM
Sheet music says “Andante,” but your metronome wants a number. Here’s the translation, and the tempo name above the slider updates as you move it.
| Marking | Feel | BPM range |
|---|---|---|
| Largo | Very slow, broad | 40-60 |
| Adagio | Slow, stately | 66-76 |
| Andante | Walking pace | 76-108 |
| Moderato | Moderate | 108-120 |
| Allegro | Fast, bright | 120-156 |
| Vivace | Lively | 156-176 |
| Presto | Very fast | 168-200 |
What the subdivisions actually mean
Each setting splits one beat into evenly spaced clicks. The red note is the downbeat you’ll hear loudest; the rest fill the gaps. This is the picture that makes it click.

Questions, answered
What is a speed trainer?
It automatically raises the tempo in small steps as you play, so you build speed gradually without stopping to change the dial. Set a start BPM, an increment, and how often to bump it, then just keep playing.
How accurate is a browser metronome?
Very. This one schedules clicks ahead of time using the Web Audio clock rather than relying on the page timer, so the timing stays tight even if the rest of the page is busy.
Can I set accents and odd time signatures?
Yes. Tap any beat dot to toggle its accent, and pick from common and odd signatures including 5/4 and 7/8. The first beat is accented by default.
What subdivisions are supported?
Quarter notes, eighths, triplets, and sixteenths. Subdivision clicks sound softer than the main beat so you can feel the grid without losing the pulse.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, fully. Tap to start, and the beat dots, accents, and speed trainer all work on phone and tablet. No app or signup needed.
