Band Metronome: Tempo & Setlist is the ultimate metronome app for bands and solo musicians. Stay perfectly in sync with studio-grade accuracy and a clean, ad-free interface—even in the free version. Easily program complex time signatures, setlists, and subdivisions.
NEW: Multiple setlists — keep a separate setlist per gig, project, or band. Browse them in a two-level picker (pick a setlist, then its presets) and switch instantly on stage.
NEW: Silent pre-roll & count-in — start cleanly with a depleting arc around the play button, or count yourself in for a configurable number of bars before the click hits.
NEW: Setlist auto-advance — let the metronome walk through your setlist on its own. A live "Bar X/Y → Next preset" chip shows exactly where you are. Count-in and auto-advance can be overridden per setlist.
NEW: iCloud sync — your settings, setlists, and presets stay in sync across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch automatically.
Band Mode, powered by Ableton Link, keeps every musician on the same beat — ideal for rehearsals and live gigs. Sync tempo and transport with iPhones, iPads, Macs, and any Link-enabled app over your local Wi-Fi network (no internet required). Use flash and vibration modes when you need to see or feel the beat. Detect the tempo of any song with Auto BPM.
Apple Watch app — a full standalone metronome on your wrist with haptics and click, time signature picker, and your iPhone's full setlist catalogue, pre-roll, and auto-advance mirrored automatically. A "Now Playing" pill keeps the current preset visible. Perfect for silent practice or as a backup on stage.
Bluetooth foot-pedal control — go hands-free with any HID-keyboard pedal. Start/stop, nudge tempo, tap, and jump between setlist presets while you play. Fully customizable bindings, with a clear on-screen confirmation of the action that fired.
