Free Online Metronome

A free, browser-based metronome built for musicians, producers, and engineers who need precise tempo control without installing anything. Works on desktop and mobile, runs entirely in your browser using the Web Audio API for sample-accurate timing.

Features

• Tap tempo — tap the button or press T to set your tempo by feel. The metronome averages your last several taps for accuracy.
• Time signatures — 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 5/4, and 7/8. The downbeat is accented with a higher pitch and a green visual indicator.
• BPM range of 20 to 300 — covers everything from ambient drone to blast beats. Use the slider for sweeps or the fine-tune buttons for precision.
• Keyboard shortcuts — Space to start/stop, T to tap tempo, arrow keys to nudge BPM up or down by 1.
• No install, no account — works instantly in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. No cookies, no tracking, no ads.

Why Use a Metronome

Practicing with a metronome is the single most effective way to develop tight timing. Whether you are tracking guitar, programming drums, practicing piano, or rehearsing with a band, a consistent click track keeps everyone locked to the grid. Tempo discipline separates rough demos from release-quality recordings.

This metronome uses the Web Audio API to generate clicks directly in your browser. Unlike sample-based metronomes that can drift over time, oscillator-based clicks maintain precise timing regardless of system load. The accented downbeat helps you internalize the phrase structure of your time signature.
