And seven of them live below — a diver, a monster in a wardrobe, an octopus selling ice cream. They do not leave when you start the metronome.
No grades, no login, no level to unlock. The same metronome that counts a first piano lesson counts a stadium rehearsal.
You can hear all of it right now, in this browser.

Every world has someone living in it, and they do not leave when you start the metronome. Pick one.
Not a picture of the app. This is a metronome, running here, in this page — scheduled the same way the app schedules it and synthesised the same way, with no sound file anywhere.
60–160 here · 20–300 in the app
The app does not stop, and it remembers where you were.
Every beat here is queued against the audio clock ahead of time, in a rolling window, rather than fired by a screen timer — which is why it holds while you drag the tempo, resize the window or scroll the page. The click itself is an oscillator and an envelope, built at the moment it sounds. The app does both the same way — with the full range, every bar from two to seven, four subdivisions, twelve families of click and no clock running against you.
The demo up here has a limit. The real one does not stop.
OPEN THE APPFULL RANGE · EVERY BAR · TWELVE FAMILIES OF CLICK
Every metronome calls it tap tempo. Ours has a name: you give the tempo and the app reads it off you. Tap four times and it is on it — no number to look up, no slider to nudge into place.
Most of them are a number and a click. This one has somewhere to be. Six worlds, each with its own palette, its own four sounds, its own soundtrack and its own resident.
Nothing is recorded. Each click is built on the spot from its own number — twelve families of click, and just over a million ways to set one up. No two are identical, plenty are close, and the library weighs nothing because there is no library.
Practise along to a shore, a fairground, an arcade or a room with a record on. Written by the app as it plays, so it never loops back to where you heard it start.
Beats are scheduled ahead against the audio clock, not the screen. Change the tempo, open a panel, take a screenshot — the click does not flinch.
Two to seven beats, subdivisions up to four, Tocktotap! for tap tempo, and a range from 20 to 300. Everything a rehearsal actually asks for and nothing that needs a manual.
A skin is not a colour swap: new palette, new button shapes, new sound set, new soundtrack, new character. More of them arrive without you having to update the app.
No account, no microphone, no location, no analytics on what you play. It works on a plane. The free tier carries one line of text advertising and that is the whole of it.
The things people want to know before they install something, in the place where they are actually wondering it.
You have read the fine print. Now hear it.
OPEN THE APPNOTHING TO INSTALL · NOTHING TO UNDO
Yes. The metronome is free on iPhone and Android, with one small line of text advertising. Plus removes it and unlocks every skin, the extra time signatures and the soundtracks. Desktop is a separate one-off purchase, not part of the subscription.
Completely. Every click and every soundtrack is generated on the device rather than downloaded, so there is nothing to stream and nothing to wait for. The only thing that needs a connection is the advert in the free tier, and its absence does not stop anything.
Neither. There is no sign-up, no microphone access, no camera and no location. The app declares internet access and nothing else.
Each click is scheduled ahead of time against the audio clock rather than a screen timer, so the beat does not drift when the interface is busy or the phone is under load.
Yes. It is rated for all ages, collects nothing about the person using it, and has no chat, no leaderboards and no randomised purchases. The only things for sale are the subscription and the skins, and both go through the normal store confirmation.
Yes, and nothing needs to be set up first. There is no account to create for each pupil and no data leaving the device, which is usually the part that makes an app awkward in a classroom.
