Free Online Metronome
Set the tempo — stay in time.
How to use this metronome
Use the slider or + / − buttons to set your tempo from 20 to 300 BPM. The number updates in real time so you can dial in the exact speed you need.
Tap the Tap Tempo button in rhythm to set the BPM automatically. The metronome averages your last several taps to calculate the tempo — useful for matching a recording or finding a comfortable practice speed.
Choose your time signature from the dropdown. Simple meters (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4) accent beat one; compound meters (6/8, 9/8, 12/8) group beats in threes with a stronger accent on the first of each group.
Subdivisions add clicks between the main beats. Quarter notes give you the basic pulse. Eighth notes double it. Triplets divide each beat into three. Sixteenth notes divide each beat into four — useful for building speed gradually.
A metronome is the single most important practice tool a musician can use. It provides a steady, audible pulse at a specific tempo — measured in beats per minute (BPM) — so you can develop consistent timing and internalize rhythmic patterns. This browser-based metronome uses the Web Audio API for sample-accurate scheduling, meaning clicks land exactly on time without the drift that plagues timer-based approaches. You can set any tempo from 20 to 300 BPM, choose from common time signatures including compound meters like 6/8 and 12/8, and add subdivisions to practice eighth notes, triplets, or sixteenth notes at any speed. Tap tempo lets you match the tempo of a recording or ensemble by tapping the button in rhythm. Whether you’re woodshedding scales, drilling etudes, or preparing for a performance, a metronome keeps you honest about where the beat actually is — not where you think it is.
