Getting Started

Up & Running in 3 Steps

01

🎛️ Set Your Tempo

Drag the BPM slider to your practice tempo — or tap rhythmically to find it automatically.

  • Drag the BPM slider (30–240 BPM)
  • Tap the tempo pad 5 times to use Tap Tempo
  • Use ±1 and ±5 nudge buttons for fine control
  • BPM is saved automatically between sessions
  • Set beats per bar (1–8) to match your time signature
02

🔊 Choose Your Sound

Pick between voice counting, a click sound, or both. Voice mode uses your device's TTS — fully offline.

  • Voice: DR counts aloud (one, two, three…)
  • Click: Woodblock, Electronic, or Cowbell
  • Both: voice count + click together
  • Beat 1 is louder and accented — toggle on/off
  • Voice clips are pre-generated offline — no internet needed
03

▶️ Start Practicing

Hit play and focus on your music. Voice Metronome keeps going in the background even when you switch apps.

  • Tap the Play button to start
  • Continues in background via a foreground service
  • Notification shows a Stop action for quick access
  • Screen wake lock keeps display on during practice
  • Practice Timer auto-stops after your set duration

Sound

Voice Count

Your device's TTS pre-renders voice clips offline — zero latency. Beat 1 is synthesised at higher pitch for a natural downbeat accent.

  • Fully offline — no network calls
  • Beat 1 accent: higher pitch + louder
  • Works in any TTS-supported language
🥁
Sound

Click Sounds

Three professional click sounds to choose from — each with a distinct feel.

  • Woodblock — warm, organic
  • Electronic — sharp, precise
  • Cowbell — punchy, rhythmic
  • Beat 1 louder automatically

Training

Smart Trainer

Gradually increase BPM automatically as you practice — the classic method for building speed and precision.

  • Set start BPM, target BPM, and step size
  • BPM increases every N bars
  • Stops when target is reached
  • Great for technique drills and scale practice

Training

Mute Bars

Alternate N audible bars with N silent bars — forcing you to internalise the beat.

  • DR keeps counting in the background
  • Silent bars test your internal clock

FAQ

Common Questions

Does Voice Metronome work without internet?
Yes — it is 100% offline. Voice clips are generated using your device's built-in TTS engine and cached locally. No internet connection is ever required.
Will it keep playing when I switch apps?
Yes. Voice Metronome runs as a foreground service, which means it continues playing in the background even when you open another app. A persistent notification shows a Stop button for quick access.
How does Smart Trainer work?
Set a start BPM, a target BPM, a step size, and how many bars to play before increasing. Smart Trainer plays at the start BPM, increases by the step after the set number of bars, and stops when the target is reached.
How does Tap Tempo work?
Tap the tempo pad at least 5 times in rhythm. The app calculates the average time between taps and sets the BPM accordingly.
How do I save my current settings as a preset?
Tap the Presets button, then 'Save as New Preset' and give it a name. All current settings — BPM, time signature, sound type, Smart Trainer config — are saved together.
