Privacy details

Metronome processes your input in this browser. Inputs and results are excluded from analytics. Recent tools save tool names, visit counts and last-visit times. Saved tools store only their names. Draft saving is optional and stays on this device; delete saved text with the draft controls. Loading text from a URL is optional and contacts that server; its URL and your IP address are visible to the server. An optional “Use in” action keeps a handoff in this tab. The next tool removes it on arrival and ignores it if more than a minute has passed.

Copy link includes the inputs you choose to share in the address. Anyone with that link can reopen them. Files and generated results are excluded. Password and key tools share settings only.

Tempo (BPM)

Four beats per bar, with an accent on the first beat. Start with your device volume low.

Beat

Stopped.

Reset reloads the tool with its starting values and releases open files and device controls. Saved drafts stay on this device until you delete them.

Links include your inputs and settings. Anyone with the link can see them, so leave out private text. Files and generated results are left out; random draws run again.

Using the metronome

The browser schedules short tones against its audio clock. The first beat is higher than the other three. The metronome stops when the page is hidden or you leave it, so audio does not continue unnoticed.

A worked example

At 120 BPM, beats are spaced 0.5 seconds apart. Four beats make a two-second bar.

Before you use the result

Browser and device audio latency vary. The display is a scheduling indicator, not an audio-latency measurement. Keep device volume comfortable.
