Real notation, not tab-style grids
Score View renders a real staff with clefs, key signatures, ledger lines, and accidentals — so practice feels like reading music, not configuring an app.
MetroTune™
Metronome, tuner, and scale practice on one screen.
Real notation, live pitch detection, and a click track working together — so you can build timing and intonation in the same practice loop. Free. No subscription, ever.
Free core features forever. Optional rewarded ads unlock premium for 24 hours.
What’s new & improved in v1.44 · April 2026
- •Transpose tuning (new) — B♭, E♭, F, A, and ±octave instruments. Read your written notes; tap-to-play and Scale Practice sound concert pitch automatically.
- •Expanded A4 reference pitch (new) — 392–470 Hz in 0.1 Hz steps, with one-tap presets for 415 (baroque), 432, 440, 442, and 444 Hz.
- •Sharper Score View notation (improved) — minor key signatures (A minor displays 0 accidentals, D minor 1 flat, etc.), keyCycle drills like Circle of Fifths walk the staff signature through all 12 keys, and transitions to a simpler key include cancellation naturals per standard music engraving.
- •Distinct accents on every metronome sound (improved) — hi-hat opens, snap and cowbell brighten, rimshot pitches up, kick gains a brighter attack, beep gets a sharper onset, low click stays tight without a bass ring. Accent beats stand louder than off-beats with distinct timbral cues across the kit.
- •Pitch playback duration (improved) — choose 1 second, 5 seconds, or hold forever for tapped tuner notes.
- •Tempo Map countdown overlay (new) — a big flashing 4 → 3 → 2 → 1 marks each count-in beat.
- •Silent Practice mode (improved) — choose the Muted sound profile and the screen collapses to a single beat flash for distraction-free practice.
- •Lifelike tuner voices (improved) — Bell sustains as long as you hold; Brass gains breath character; Organ has a fuller, richer Hammond-style tone.
- •Loudness-balanced metronome sounds (improved) — all 17 sound profiles balanced in volume so switching profiles keeps the same overall loudness.

What makes MetroTune stand out.
Transpose tuning, built inNew in v1.44
Read your written notes on a B♭ clarinet, E♭ alto sax, F horn, or A clarinet — tap-to-play and Scale Practice automatically sound concert pitch. Most metronome/tuner apps don’t do this at all.
Ear training built in
Echo Mode turns the tuner into a call-and-response ear trainer. No separate app, no separate subscription.
Per-subdivision muting
Tap any subdivision dot to mute it. Build patterns presets don’t cover — at a resolution few other metronome apps offer.
A composer’s tempo map
Beethoven’s 9th, Mvt. 4 ships as a seed profile — six entries with shifting BPMs and meters — so new users see what a real tempo map looks like.
Score View
Practice scales from real notation, not configuration menus.
Switch to Score View and the staff appears: clefs, key signature, ledger lines, accidentals, rests — the closest thing to opening a method book inside the app. Notes light up as the metronome plays them, so you read and keep time at the same time.
“I specifically wanted a way to check my pitch while working at varying tempos — ensuring my intonation stayed rock-solid as I increased speed.”
A Day With MetroTune
Open the app, hit START — and practice the way you actually practice.
Ten steps through a real practice session. No setup. No account. No permissions wall.
Practice in one tap. No account, no setup.
Tap START and a click plays at 120 BPM in 4/4. Everything else is one tap away from this screen. No account, no permissions wall.
Shape grooves presets don’t ship with.
Pick a subdivision shape — quarters, duplets, triplets, sixteenths — then tap any beat to accent it and tap any subdivision dot to mute it. Shape a groove no preset ships with, in seconds.
Build a scale workout in 30 seconds.
Add scales to the queue in any key. Set count-in beats, loop count, gap between scales. Save the queue as a profile and reload it tomorrow.
Hanon, circle of fifths, arpeggios — already built.
Six categories: Foundations, Major Scales, Minor Scales, Arpeggios, Genre Scales, Drills. Tap any template to load it as a starting point, then customize.
Train your ear without leaving the app.
Echo Mode plays a note, then listens. Match it within tolerance and the next note plays. Miss it and the app re-prompts with the attempt counter. Real ear training, no extra app.
Read your written notes, sound concert pitch.New in v1.44
Transpose the tuner for B♭, E♭, F, A, or ±octave instruments — clarinets, trumpets, saxes, French horns, piccolos, basses. The score stays in your written key, tap-to-play and Scale Practice automatically sound concert pitch, and a TX pill on the reference row shows the active transposition at a glance.
Tune to the harmonics of your actual instrument family.
Five lifelike instrument voices — Tone, Clarinet, Brass, Organ, Bell — each with the correct overtone series and instrument character (bell hum, brass breath, Hammond drawbars). Set A4 anywhere from 392 to 470 Hz with one-tap presets for baroque (415), 430, 432, 440, 442, 444. Choose how long a tapped note plays: 1 s, 5 s, or hold forever.
Practice complex pieces the way they’re written.
Multi-entry sequencer with per-step tempo, meter, beat pattern, sound, accents, and measures. The 4th movement of Beethoven’s 9th ships as a seed profile — six entries across shifting BPMs and meters — so you can see how a real piece lays out before building your own.
Easier on the eyes for long sessions.
Six base themes plus six pastel variants. Long-press the play button to swap. Pick the language that fits your daily life.
Double-clap to start. Double-clap to stop.
The microphone listens for two sharp claps in quick succession and toggles playback. Use it when your hands are full — bow, sticks, keys.
Three apps. One tap apart.

Founder’s Note
Built for musicians, by a musician.
I built MetroTune because I wanted a more effective way to practice. I was tired of jumping between separate apps and frustrated by hitting paywalls on the essential tools I needed.
“I specifically wanted a way to check my pitch while working at varying tempos — ensuring my intonation stayed rock-solid as I increased speed.” I also needed a guide to help me master scale intonation, with a reliable reference for every note.
MetroTune is the result: a seamless 3-in-1 tool where the modules work together — on the Tuner page, the metronome ticks, pitch detection runs, and scale notes play in the same session. No subscriptions, no accounts, no recurring costs. Built to help you master your craft, not manage your apps.
Everything above. Free. No account.
Available on iOS and Android. Free to download.
