With Hey Metronome, you can put your earbuds on and control everything with your voice, from tempo and meter, to beat patterns, to even what song you are practicing. Just say, “Hey metronome set the tempo to 120,” “Hey metronome, shuffle,” or “Hey Metronome, next song,” and you’re off.

GREAT FOR BANDS!

"This is by far my favorite metronome app! Store tempos for songs and write setlists (drag & drop). It even responds to your voice! So many options, all easy!”
– Ryan Chrys, award-winning guitar player / touring band leader

“Hey Metronome impressed the heck out of me!”
– Tim Webb, editor of Discchord

v1.1

Very good, could use some improvements

It is a good metronome, and I appreciate the simple transaction. As a pro musician using this for practice, my wishes are: 1) remember my tempo and settings when I close the app. 2) metronome stops playing whenever I foreground the app - whyyy? 3) give an option for a simple backbeat (snare only) or one-click metronome without all the fancy drum patterns.

Love the app, but on IOS 18…

Update (Dec.6) : silly me. Uninstalled, reinstalled fixed it. Still the best in the biz. Thanks Audiokit. This is my go to metronome. I use it with piano practice, but when I go to open the app after IOS 18, it opens then closes right away. Now I’m using the Ableton Note built in metronome as a back up. Please fix! (I’ll write to Apple too after I finish trying ALL my Auv3 and audio apps). Thanks for any support.

v1.1

Whoa.

I feel awful having only spent $0.99 on this. The sheer amount of customization makes it really easy to get a cool rhythm going. The ideas can get out of my head way faster now!

iOS 18 not supported

Great app for practicing with my Ocarina, however I don’t think it supports iOS 18. Would it be possible if the AudioKit team could look into this, please.🙏🏾 Thanks for all your work! 👍🏾
