Maelzel / Metronome and rhythm practice
A steady click.
A practice of your own.
Set the tempo, shape the beat, and spend time with your instrument. Maelzel combines a clear metronome with rhythm challenges, songs, setlists, and a practice log—without an account or a subscription.
For iPhone · Every feature is free to try for 3 days (72 hours) from your original trial purchase. After that, continuing to use the metronome and trainer requires a one-time lifetime purchase. There is no automatic charge and no renewal. Reinstalling, restoring purchases, or importing a backup does not restart the trial.

Getting started
One step at a time.
Set your beat
Use the ivory tempo ruler or tap tempo. Choose a meter, accents, a subdivision, and a sound, then start a run at a comfortable pace.
Give your timing a challenge
Try a tempo ladder that remembers where you got stuck, growing gaps, randomly muted bars, offbeat patterns, or polyrhythms. All are available during the 72-hour trial.
Keep a practice record
Save songs and setlists, use Live mode, and review your complete practice log. Your records stay saved and exportable even if you do not buy after the trial.
Made to be useful.
The click you need
Custom meters, per-beat accents, nine subdivisions, and six sounds let you shape a useful pulse. Playback continues in the background or with the screen locked.
Training beyond a faster number
A remembering tempo ladder, gaps, muted bars, offbeats, and polyrhythms turn steady time into specific practice challenges.
Songs, setlists, and continuity
Keep songs and setlists ready for Live mode and retain a complete practice log. Data settings and backup export/import remain available after the trial expires.

Your data, considered
Privacy, in practice.
No app account or advertising. Practice records are kept on your device.
Purchases and entitlement checks use Apple and RevenueCat. App updates use Expo; local activity storage does not mean the app never connects to the internet.
Backup export and import are manual file actions. Keep a copy somewhere private if you need to move your records.

- An incoming call stops playback. Press Play afterward to start a new run; automatic resumption is not promised.
