Per-song tempo memory (setlists)

Save songs with name + tempo + time signature + subdivision. Walk through a setlist on stage with one tap to advance.

Tap tempo

Tap a few times to set BPM. Useful when the band leader counts off a tempo you need to lock to.

Visual + audible cue

Big visual flash on beat 1, dimmer flashes on subdivisions. Headphones + audio out + bone-conduction with AirPods all supported.

No weekly traps, no ad interruptions

Soundbrenner pushes $8/month for setlists. Pro Metronome is a one-time $4 but ad-loaded on the free path. Metronome Pro from Swarmval ships everything for $19.99 lifetime, no ads.

FAQ
What is the difference between this and the free Pro Metronome? +

Pro Metronome is $4 one-time but limited; advanced features (setlists, custom subdivisions) require additional in-app purchases that stack to more. Metronome Pro from Swarmval bundles everything at $19.99 lifetime and includes setlists for gigging musicians out of the box.

Can I save tempos for songs in a setlist? +

Yes — the setlist feature is the core differentiator. Add songs with their tempo + time signature + subdivision; advance through on stage with one tap. Setlists save locally.

Will the audio drift over long sessions? +

No — the metronome locks to the audio clock, not the UI clock. Three-hour rehearsal stays sample-accurate.

Does it work with bluetooth headphones? +

Yes, including AirPods, AirPods Pro, and any Bluetooth output. Latency is around 40–80ms depending on the headphones; the visual flash stays sample-accurate.

Does it handle polyrhythms (3 over 2, 5 over 4, etc.)? +

Yes — Pro tier supports compound and polyrhythmic patterns. Useful for drum students working on West African and Latin rhythms, or jazz musicians practicing 5/4 and 7/8.

Can it play a voice count-in before the metronome starts? +

Yes — “One, two, three, four” or “One, two, ready, go” voice samples before the click starts. Useful for solo practice when you need a downbeat reference without a band counting off.
