About Time Guru Metronome

**Strengthen your internal sense of rhythm.**
Time Guru is the only metronome that periodically goes silent—randomly, in patterns, or both—so you discover whether you rush, drag, or lose your place. It's like training wheels that lift off the ground.

**Random & Pattern Muting**
Set any percentage of random muting to test your timekeeping. Or create sequenced muting patterns. Or combine both. You'll quickly learn where your time falls apart—and strengthen it.

**Complex Meter Sequences**
Build unlimited chains of shifting meters: 4/4 → 7/8 → 3/4 → 11/16 → 4/4 → 3/8. Meters go up to 16/x, patterns have no length limit, and you can rearrange them with drag-and-drop.

**Gradual Tempo Changes**
Automatically speed up or slow down over time—perfect for building technique or working up to performance tempo.

**Practice Timer**
Set the metronome to stop after a specified duration. No more glancing at the clock during scale practice.

**Also includes:**
• 35 loud, clear sound sets with accent/unaccent balance control
• Drum machine-style rhythmic patterns
• Voice counting in English, Chinese, French, German & Russian
• Tap tempo (5–300 BPM) with improved responsiveness and accuracy
• iCloud backup and sync of presets across devices
• Light and dark themes
• Full VoiceOver accessibility
• Rock-solid timing via custom audio engine
• Can also be used on Mac (with Apple Silicon M series chips)

Reviews for Time Guru Metronome

I’ll remove once fixed

This update is no good

I loved this product until it stopped being able to function below 65 BPM. Please fix or I’ll have to get a new metronome

Fantastic Metronome App

Thank you for updating the metronome to gradually increase/decrease tempo over time. A very welcome addition to an already fantastic app.
