Ghost Beat - Timing Trainer

A metronome can keep time for you. Ghost Beat helps you learn to keep it yourself.

Ghost Beat alternates between audible clicks and silent bars, giving you room to feel the tempo on your own. When the click comes back, you can hear how well you held it. Use it for drum practice, warm-ups, or working through a tricky rhythm.

PRACTICE WITH AND WITHOUT THE CLICK
Choose your tempo, time signature, subdivisions, and accents. Set how many bars play and how many stay silent, or use Random Mute to make individual beats disappear. Add spoken counts alongside the click and adjust their volumes separately.

BUILD A PRACTICE HABIT
Set a daily goal and follow your progress through the day. See your recent practice history, streaks, and weekly totals. Optional on-device detection can count your playing even when you don't need the metronome. Detection requires Ghost Beat to be open and active.

START HANDS-FREE
Use Start on Sound to begin without reaching for the screen. Calibrate microphone sensitivity for your room and playing, and choose whether silence should stop the metronome automatically.

MAKE YOUR OWN ROUTINES
Chain exercises with their own tempos, ghost patterns, and time signatures. Choose timed or bar-based steps, loop your routine, and save presets for setups you use often. Free tempo ladders help you work toward a target speed.

CHECK YOUR TIMING
Tap along in Tap Accuracy mode to see how consistently you land on the beat. Timing grades and deviation measurements give you something concrete to work on next time.

PICK UP ON ANOTHER DEVICE
Optional private iCloud sync keeps your routines, presets, practice history, daily goal, and saved notes together across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. You don't need a separate Ghost Beat account.
