Metronome & Tuner

A metronome with BPM, time signature and accents, plus a mic-based instrument tuner.

BPM
Time signature

Tap tempo measures BPM from your taps — press the button a few times in rhythm.

Sound heard by the tuner is never sent or stored — it is processed only in this browser.
What is the Metronome & Tuner?

A metronome (30–300 BPM with time signatures, accents and tap tempo) and a microphone-based instrument tuner on one page. No install needed — set the beat, then tune up and start practicing.

How to use

On the Metronome tab, set the BPM with the slider, the number box or the −/+ buttons and press Start. Pick a time signature from 2/4 to 6/8 and the dots below show each beat, lighting up the current one. Tap tempo averages the gaps between your taps; after a pause of more than two seconds it starts over.

On the Tuner tab, press Start tuner, allow the microphone and play one string at a time. When the needle sits in the green centre zone (within ±5 cents) the note is in tune. Choose guitar, ukulele or bass to see the nearest string. The reference pitch (A4) can be set between 430 and 450 Hz.

Tips for accuracy

The tuner works best in a quiet room with one note at a time. Very quiet sounds are ignored, so hold the instrument close to the microphone. Bluetooth earbuds add delay, so the click may sound late — wired earphones or speakers are better.

Will the click drift out of time?
Clicks are scheduled ahead on the audio clock, so the beat stays steady even if the page briefly lags. Bluetooth devices add output delay, though, so the sound may reach you late.
Does it stop when I switch to another browser tab?
Most browsers keep a tab that is playing sound alive in the background, so the metronome keeps going. Mobile battery savers or browser settings may still stop it. Switching between the Metronome and Tuner tabs here turns off the one you leave.
The tuner note keeps jumping or doesn't show.
Loud background noise or several notes at once make pitch hard to find. Play one string clearly and hold the instrument closer to the microphone. Bluetooth microphones have low quality and can make detection unstable.
Is my microphone audio uploaded?
No. Pitch analysis runs entirely in this browser and the sound is never sent or stored. The microphone turns off as soon as you stop the tuner, switch tabs or leave the page.
