First release. A metronome that does not drift: the clicks are written into the audio at exact sample positions rather than scheduled against the system clock, so the error cannot accumulate. Setlists - save a song with its tempo, time signature and length, put them in the order you play them, and run the list without re-dialling anything. Tap tempo, accents you choose, a visible beat, and a copy of your setlists you can save to a file. No account, no microphone, no cloud.
A metronome that does not drift, with setlists for rehearsal. No account.
Metronome keeps time for practice and rehearsal, and keeps your songs in order so you are not re-dialling a tempo between them. WHY IT DOES NOT DRIFT Most phone metronomes schedule each click against the system clock: wake up, play a sound, go back to sleep. Every one of those hops costs a little time, the cost varies, and the error only ever adds up. It is inaudible for four beats and obvious after two minutes, which is exactly the wrong way round for something you practise against. This one writes the clicks into the audio itself, at exact sample positions. The hardware plays that audio at a fixed rate, so the beats arrive where they were written. There is no clock in the loop and nothing to fall behind. SETLISTS Save a song with its tempo, its time signature and how many bars it runs for. Put the songs in the order you play them. Then run the list: the tempo changes between songs on its own, and you keep your hands on the instrument. WHAT IT DOES • 20 to 400 beats per minute, by tap, slider or a single beat at a time • Time signatures from 2/4 to 12/8, with the accent on the beats you choose • Tap tempo that settles quickly and ignores the tap you got wrong • A visible beat, for practising in a loud room or with headphones off • Setlists, reordered by hand, with the next song cued up • Light and dark themes • Save a copy of your setlists to a file and put it back on your next phone WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO • No microphone. It never listens to you, so it needs no recording permission. A tuner is a different job and this app does not pretend to do it. • No account, no cloud, no sign-in. Your setlists are on this phone. • No background playing and no notification. A metronome you cannot see is one you cannot stop, so the screen stays awake while it runs instead. • No sampled drum kits. That is a drum machine. PRIVACY Your setlists are stored on this phone and nowhere else. The app has no server. Android cloud backup is switched off for it, so nothing is copied to Google Drive either — use Save a copy before you change phones. The app shows ads. The only data that leaves your device is what Google AdMob needs to show them, and it never includes anything you typed. Full policy: https://dash-fusion.github.io/privacy/list-metronome
