By Avi Bortnick, from Google Play“Develop rock-solid rhythm. The metronome that trains your internal clock.”
Description by Avi Bortnick Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Time Guru is the only metronome that periodically goes silent—randomly, in patterns, or both—so you discover whether you rush, drag, or lose your place. It's like training wheels that lift off the ground.
Random & Pattern Muting Set any percentage of random muting to test your timekeeping. Or create sequenced muting patterns. Or combine both. You'll quickly learn where your time falls apart—and strengthen it.
Complex Meter Sequences Build unlimited chains of shifting meters: 4/4 → 7/8 → 3/4 → 11/16 → 4/4 → 3/8. Meters go up to 16/x, patterns have no length limit, and you can rearrange them with drag-and-drop.
Gradual Tempo Changes Automatically speed up or slow down over time—perfect for building technique or working up to performance tempo.
Practice Timer Set the metronome to stop after a specified duration. No more glancing at the clock during scale practice.
Also includes: • 35 loud, clear sound sets with accent/unaccent balance control • Drum machine-style rhythmic patterns • Voice counting in English, Chinese, French, German & Russian • Tap tempo (5–300 BPM) with fast responsiveness and accuracy • Sync and export/import of presets • Light and dark themes • Rock-solid timing via custom audio engine • Bluetooth headphone/speaker adjustment to sync sound with visuals
