Solo practice
Use reminders to come back, calendar to make time, and logs plus heatmap to see whether the week actually happened.
Ways to use it
Start with the way you practice.
A drummer, a piano student, a teacher, and a band do not need the same metronome explanation. These pages split the common cases apart.
Teachers and students
Save BPM, meter, subdivision, and starting speed as a preset students can reopen after the lesson.
Rehearsal and performance
Save song tempos first, then put them in setlist order so the next tempo is not a stage search.
Different instruments
Drums need subdivisions, guitar needs riffs and chord changes, piano needs piece tempos, vocals and dance need phrase timing.
Screens for practice, lessons, rehearsal, and stage.
Reminders, calendar, logs, heatmap, presets, setlists, and Wi-Fi sync each solve a different problem.
01
Practice reminders
Local reminders default to evening and can be changed or turned off in Settings.
02
Goals and weekly plans
Daily goals and weekly plans bring you back to practice without turning it into heavy admin work.
03
Practice heatmap
Heatmap turns practice into active days on a calendar, making consistency and gaps easier to see.
04
Setlists
Arrange song presets in rehearsal or stage order so the next tempo is ready.
Daily practice: remember more than today
A reminder brings you back
Local reminders fit a regular practice time and can be turned off whenever you want.
Calendar protects the time
When practice needs a place in the day, calendar entries can keep time, notes, and an app link together.
Heatmap shows the week
Logs, goals, and heatmap show whether practice continued, not just whether the click opened today.
Teaching: give students something to open
Spend less time setting up
BPM, meter, subdivision, sound, and count-in can be ready before the lesson starts.
A preset beats a vague number
Students get a metronome setup, not only a note that says to practice slowly.
Next lesson has a starting point
Reminders, calendar entries, logs, and heatmap make the follow-up more concrete.
Performance: order matters
Setlists follow the show
The next song tempo is already in the list before the transition arrives.
Back up or move the list
Import and export help before rehearsal, device changes, or sharing stage order.
Use another screen when needed
Apple Watch, visual beat, and Wi-Fi sync cover different rehearsal room and stage situations.
Instruments: each one gets stuck differently
Guitar and piano often need stages
Riffs, chord changes, scales, etudes, and pieces can each keep their own speeds.
Drums need subdivisions
Quarter, eighth, triplet, and sixteenth subdivisions expose rushing, dragging, and uneven hits earlier.
Vocals and dance need BPM too
Entrances, breath, counts, warmups, and class pacing all need a steady pulse.
Practice system
Reminders, calendar, logs, and heatmap work best together.
The click only covers the minutes it is playing. Practice also needs a start, a record, and a way to know where tomorrow begins.
Before practice
Use reminders to come back. Put practice in the calendar when it needs a fixed time.
During practice
Open a preset with saved BPM, meter, subdivision, sound, and practice speeds.
After practice
Leave a record so recent practice, goals, and heatmap know it happened.
