About Online Metronome
The Online Metronome is a precise practice metronome that runs in your browser. Set any tempo in BPM — or tap it in with the tap-tempo button — choose a time signature, and press Start. The clicks are synthesized live with the Web Audio API, so there are no sound files to load and no uploads.
It goes beyond a basic click: subdivide the beat into quarter notes, eighths, triplets or sixteenths, accent the first beat of each bar, and watch the beat indicator follow the pulse. Classical tempo names from Largo to Presto help you match a marking on sheet music, and a volume control keeps it at practice-room level.
Because the timing is generated by the browser’s audio engine rather than a timer-driven animation, the pulse stays steady — exactly what you need for scales, drum rudiments and keeping a band tight. The tool is free and charges no credits.
