A steady, accurate metronome.

A metronome keeps steady time so you can practise, record or perform at an exact tempo. This online metronome does that job right in your browser — no app, no purchase, just a clear, reliable click whenever you need one. It’s a free online metronome that loads instantly and works the same on a laptop, tablet or phone, and because everything runs on your own device it responds the moment you change the tempo.

Accurate timing that won’t drift

The thing that separates a good digital metronome from a distracting one is timing. This one schedules every click directly on the Web Audio clock with a look-ahead scheduler, so the beat stays sample-accurate and rock-steady even when the browser is busy — it won’t wander the way a plain timer does. Drift is easy to miss but hard to unlearn: a click that speeds up or lags quietly trains bad timing, which is the opposite of what you want. Set the online metronome BPM anywhere from 20 to 300 by typing a number, dragging the slider, or tapping the tempo of a track by ear.

Subdivisions, accents and time signatures

As an online metronome with subdivisions, it can place extra clicks between the main beats — eighths, triplets or sixteenths — which is the quickest way to smooth out an uneven passage. Subdivisions help most at slow tempos, where the gaps between beats are long enough to drift in. Choose your time signature, accent the downbeat so you always know where each bar begins, and pick the click sound you find easiest to lock onto; turn the accent off when you just want a plain, even pulse.

For guitar, piano and any instrument

Timekeeping matters on every instrument, and this works equally well as an online metronome for guitar, an online metronome for piano, or a click for drums, strings and voice. Guitarists use it to build speed cleanly on scales and riffs; pianists lean on it for even hands and a steady left-hand accompaniment. It’s just as at home in a practice room as it is for recording to a click or rehearsing with a band.

What makes the best online metronome isn’t a long feature list — it’s a click you can trust, controls you can reach without thinking, and instant access on any device. That’s what this page aims to be: start it, set your tempo, and practise.
