Metronome is a free online tool that keeps time for musical practice with a precise Web Audio click, an accented downbeat, tap tempo, and a large visual pulse — from largo to prestissimo, with no downloads and nothing leaving your browser.

Tempo
Press Space to start or stop. Sound starts only after you press Start or Space, because browsers block audio autoplay.
Tap tempo takes the median interval between your recent taps, so one rushed or dragging tap does not skew the tempo. Once running, a lookahead scheduler checks every 25 ms and queues each click against the audio clock 0.1 seconds ahead, so the beat does not drift the way a plain timer would. BPM counts the numerator beats in each bar, so 6/8 gives six beats per bar with beat 1 accented.
